About Lianbao

Last updated: June 2026

Let's be upfront: the "Zhou An" byline here is a pen name, not a real one. We're not pretending to be some institution's analyst, and we're not going to hang a polished résumé on the wall. The truth is more ordinary: we're a small editorial team that picks the topics, writes them up, checks each step against Binance's official pages, and fixes things when readers point out errors.

Why we built this site

Crypto guidance out there tends toward two extremes. Some of it has that signal-group "just close your eyes and buy" energy; the rest makes simple things sound mystical and leaves you no closer to actually doing them. Beginners get stuck in the same few places — pasting an address on the wrong chain, never getting fees straight, not understanding why a withdrawal has to wait, fake-support DMs. We lay out those steps clearly for the next person stuck in the same spot. That's where Lianbao started. There's no grander story than that.

How we make money (plainly)

We don't hide this part. Lianbao takes part in Binance's referral programme. When you sign up at Binance through a link or invite code on this site, Binance shares a portion of the trading fees with us as a referral fee. That's the main source of income for this site.

A few things you should know first. One: signing up through our link costs you the same rate as going to Binance directly — not a cent more, and in some cases an invite code can even get you a fee discount, so it only works out cheaper for you, never pricier. Two: we have no login or operating access to your account; Binance's affiliate dashboard does, however, show the referral relationships made through this site along with the related commission records and trading-activity data (such as UID, order type, trade date, amount and volume). Three: the fact that doesn't mean you "should" open an account — whether to get in, and how much, is always your own decision.

The principles we write by

Because we make money from referrals, we have all the more reason to make the content worth your time — otherwise this site won't last. Here are the rules we've set for ourselves:

• We check it against the official source before we write it. Every step in a guide is checked against Binance's official help pages before it goes on the page, rather than rephrasing someone else's article.
• Numbers come with their source. For things that change — fees, limits, rules — we note that the Binance official page is what counts, because these really do get updated.
• If we're wrong, we fix it openly. We're human and we make mistakes. When we find one we correct it, and we log the important changes on the corrections page rather than quietly editing and pretending nothing happened.
• No individual investment advice. We write about "how to do it," not "what you should buy or whether now is the time to get in." Any decision involving your money is yours to assess, or to take to a qualified professional.
