What is KuCoin Token?
KCS launched in 2017 together with KuCoin itself, under the name KuCoin Shares. It is one of the oldest exchange tokens still in circulation.
The token is also the fee asset of KCC, an Ethereum-compatible blockchain created by the exchange's community.
How KuCoin Token works
Customers who keep a minimum amount of KCS on the exchange receive a daily bonus, funded by a share of trading fees, and pay lower fees. The rules and amounts are set by KuCoin.
The exchange buys back and burns tokens every month, with the stated goal of reducing total supply to half of the original issuance.
What KCS is used for
- Fee discounts and a daily bonus on KuCoin.
- Access to exchange launches and programs.
- Paying fees on the KCC network.
Risks and points of attention
- Dependence on a single exchange, which suffered a major hack in 2020 and reached a settlement with US authorities in 2025.
- Liquidity concentrated on KuCoin itself.
- The bonus and discounts can be changed by the company.
- Service availability varies by country.
