# Referrals

> Invite traders and earn a share of the fees they generate, paid in USDC.

Invite other traders and earn a cut of the builder fees they generate. Paid in
USDC, automatically, as they trade.

## How it works

<Steps>
  <Step title="Get your link">
    Your referral page gives you a unique invite link with your code.
  </Step>

  <Step title="They join and trade">
    Anyone who signs up through your link is attributed to you, once and
    permanently.
  </Step>

  <Step title="You earn">
    You earn 20% of the builder fees your referees generate, paid in USDC.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## The terms

| Term           | Value                                                        |
| -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Your share     | 20% of the builder fee your referees generate                |
| Paid in        | USDC                                                         |
| Eligibility    | A referee starts counting after 1,000 USDC of volume         |
| Minimum payout | Small balances roll over until they cross the payout minimum |

<Note>
  Attribution is set once, at signup, and never changes. The referral share
  comes out of the platform's keep, so it never reduces the community prize
  pool.
</Note>

## Fair use

Referrals reward bringing real, active traders. Self referral and fake accounts
are detected and removed. The eligibility threshold exists so that only genuine
trading counts.
