For affiliates

Traders and operators aren't the only ones who earn here. If you send a firm paying traders, a community, an audience, a network, the protocol pays you a referral cut automatically, on-chain, for as long as those traders keep buying. This page is for you specifically; the operator's view of the same program is in Growing your firm.

The deal, in numbers

The rate is fixed platform-wide and locked on-chain: 10% of every evaluation fee a referred trader pays, of which 1% is the platform's share, so 9% lands with you. No firm can offer more, no firm can quietly pay less, and there is no negotiation because there is nothing to negotiate. On unreferred purchases the slice simply stays in the firm's treasury, so a firm doesn't save money by avoiding affiliates; it just grows slower.

Attribution is lifetime and first-touch: the first affiliate a trader signs up through is bound at their first purchase, and every evaluation that trader ever buys at that firm pays the same affiliate. One level only, you earn from traders you referred, not from affiliates you recruited.

How you actually get paid

Your earnings accrue in the firm's on-chain affiliate vault as your referred traders buy, carved out atomically inside the same transaction as each purchase. Claiming is pull-based and immediate: you claim whenever you like, straight to your wallet, with no invoice, no payout schedule, and no operator approval step. The vault's balance is earmarked against an on-chain earned-versus-claimed ledger, which means the operator can't spend your accrued earnings even if they wanted to.

Getting in

The program is per-firm: each firm turns its affiliate program on and chooses either approval-based entry or open self-registration. Once you're in, your referral link works two ways, a web link on the firm's storefront and the firm's Telegram bot start link, both captured first-touch at signup.

The bigger ticket: referring a firm

If someone you refer goes on to deploy an entire firm, you earn a slice of that launch fee: 2.7% of it, paid from the deployment's franchise-pool leg. On an Enterprise-tier launch that's a four-figure referral. See the fee schedule for where it sits in the split.

Also worth knowing

Referrals earn airdrop points too, 0.2 points per dollar your referred traders spend, on top of the SOL you claim. And one honest note on coverage: because the program is per-firm, a firm that never enabled it has nothing to join yet; check the firm's storefront or ask its operator.
