# Referral Program — earn up to 60% of trading fees

Earn a share of the platform's escrow fee on every trade made by the people you refer — and by the people *they* refer. Commissions are credited as points and can be withdrawn as USDC.

### How the 2-Level Referral System Works

**Level 1 — Direct Referrals**\
You invite User B. Every time User B trades, you earn a commission on the escrow fee.

**Level 2 — Indirect Referrals (Sub-Affiliates)**\
User B invites User C. Every time User C trades, you *also* earn a smaller commission — without doing anything extra.

Your referral network earns for you on two layers. The more active your network, the more you earn.

### Referral Tiers

The more referrals you bring (or the more volume your network generates), the higher your commission rate. Tiers are recalculated daily based on the last 30 days.

| Tier        | Requirement                                  | Direct (Level 1) | Sub-Affiliate (Level 2) |
| ----------- | -------------------------------------------- | ---------------- | ----------------------- |
| **Starter** | Sign up and start referring                  | 30%              | 5%                      |
| **Bronze**  | 10 active referrals or $5K monthly volume    | 40%              | 7%                      |
| **Silver**  | 50 active referrals or $25K monthly volume   | 50%              | 10%                     |
| **Gold**    | 200 active referrals or $100K monthly volume | 60%              | 15%                     |

You only need to meet **one** requirement to reach a tier — either the referral count or the volume threshold (whichever you reach first).

#### How commissions are calculated

Your commission is a percentage of the 0.5% escrow fee on each completed trade, credited as points (10,000 points = $1). During the current program phase, the total referral payout per trade is capped at $0.10. Current rates and your live earnings are always visible on your referral dashboard.

### Milestones

Your dashboard tracks milestones for you and your referrals — first trade, $500 / $5,000 / $50,000 in trading volume, becoming a vendor, and completing 100 trades. Completed milestones are crossed off automatically, and new milestones may be added over time.

### Your Referral Dashboard

Your dashboard gives you a full view of your earnings and network:

* **Balance** — total earned, available to withdraw, with day/week/month breakdown
* **Live Earnings** — real-time feed showing commissions as they come in
* **Current Tier** — your active tier, progress to the next one, and what you need to unlock it
* **Network Statistics** — active direct referrals, active Level 2 referrals, and 30-day network volume
* **Referrals Table** — each referral's status (active, inactive, new, reactivated), tier, trades, volume, and total earned
* **Top Earners** — leaderboard showing where you rank
* **Recent Activity** — filterable by All, Earnings, Referrals, or Milestones

You can withdraw your earned balance to your Unigox wallet in USDC (minimum $5).

### Quick Earning Guide

Four ways to grow your referral network:

1. **Share on Social Media** — Post your referral link on X, Instagram, and Facebook to reach a wider audience.
2. **Join Crypto Communities** — Share your link in relevant Telegram groups and Discord servers.
3. **Create Content** — Make a video or blog post about your experience and include your referral link.
4. **Personal Network** — Share with friends, family, and colleagues who might be interested in crypto trading.

Combine multiple methods for the best results. The more active you are in sharing, the faster you earn.

### Tier FAQ

**How often are tiers recalculated?**\
Automatically every day, based on the last 30 days.

**Can I drop to a lower tier?**\
Yes, if your active referrals or volume drops below the threshold.

**What counts as an "active referral"?**\
A referral who has made at least 1 trade in the last 30 days.

No. You only need to meet one requirement — whichever you reach first.

Invite 50 friends who trade at least once.
