# Referral Program

> Three levels deep: 40% / 7% / 3% of your network's trading fees. Your referrals get Ape-tier fees for their first 30 days.

Three levels deep, paid from real fees, claimable in real money. Bring traders — earn from their activity for as long as they trade.

## The rates

You earn a share of Trady's trading-fee revenue from your network:

| Level        | Who                              | Your share of their fees |
| ------------ | -------------------------------- | ------------------------ |
| **Direct**   | People who joined with your link | **40%**                  |
| **Indirect** | People *they* referred           | **7%**                   |
| **Extended** | One level further down           | **3%**                   |

### Worked example

You refer Alice (direct). Alice refers Bob (your indirect). Bob refers Carol (your extended). This month they each pay \$100 in trading fees:

* Alice: \$100 × 40% = **\$40** to you
* Bob: \$100 × 7% = **\$7** to you
* Carol: \$100 × 3% = **\$3** to you

**Total: \$50/month** from one branch — recurring, for as long as they trade. Ten active directs who each build a small branch compounds fast. There is no cap.

## What your referrals get

**Welcome Boost:** anyone who joins via your link gets the **Ape tier (0.90%) as their floor for the first 30 days**, instead of starting at Believer (1.00%) — a 10% fee discount from trade one. It's a floor, not a cap: if their volume crosses a higher tier's threshold, they upgrade past Ape immediately. After 30 days, their own volume takes over ([Fees](/fees-rewards/fees)).

That's the pitch when you share: *"join with my link, pay less from day one."* Both sides win; nobody's rate depends on farming anyone.

## Getting your link

1. Open **Referrals** in your account.
2. Copy your personal link/code.
3. Share it — X threads, TG groups, or automatically on every [PNL Card](/portfolio/pnl-cards) you post.

## Mini-FAQ

**When do rewards accrue?**
As your referrals' trades execute — your share is calculated from the fee of every trade in your network.

**Do I earn from my referrals' referral earnings?**
No — you earn from *trading fees* at three depths, not from others' referral payouts. No MLM token games.

**Can I change whose referral I'm under?**
The referral relationship is set at signup and permanent. {/* TODO(team): confirm */}

**KOL / community with real volume?**
The standard three levels apply to everyone. For partnership terms, [contact us](/troubleshooting/contact-support).
