No empty sign-ups. No fake wallets. If your referral produces real revenue for the protocol, both of you earn. #### How It Works Generate your referral link during testnet or mainnet. Share it with anyone. When someone joins through your link and makes their first trade, the referral relationship locks in. From that point, every trade your referral makes on mainnet generates rewards for both of you—for a full 12 months. As a **Referee** (the person who joins), you receive a rebate equivalent to 15% of the protocol fees you generate. Your referrer doesn't eat into your rewards—this 15% is exclusively yours. As a **Referrer**, you earn a rebate equivalent to 25% of the protocol fees your referral generates, calculated on the net fee after the referee's 15% rebate. Make 30 or more qualified referrals within any rolling 30-day period, and you unlock **Affiliate** status—which boosts your rate to 40%. Once earned, Affiliate status is yours permanently. These rebates for Referrer and Referee are ultimately converted into RISK points. Individual caps might apply, if needed, to ensure that rewards are distributed fairly and widely across the community. #### What Counts as a Valid Referral Your referral must make their first mainnet trade within 30 days and reach a cumulative volume of at least $100 during that period. For referrals that are made during the testnet phase, the 30-day period is measured from the mainnet launch. Until both conditions are met, no rewards accrue to either party. This ensures the program rewards genuine onboarding rather than link spam. If either condition is not met within the 30-day window, the referral relationship is permanently invalidated. #### Your Referral Dashboard Track everything in real time: how many referrals you've made, which ones have qualified, the volume they're generating, your accumulated rebates, and your current tier status. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.riskprotocol.io/resources/points-program/referral-rewards.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
