# Referral System

The Paddle Finance referral system is designed to reward users for bringing new participants to the platform through a flexible and transparent structure. By sharing invitation codes, users can earn a share of the gaming fees from their invitees, or even the invitees of their invitees.

## **How It Works**:

### **Invitation Codes:**

* Every user receives a unique invitation code to share with others.
* When someone signs up using your code, a **permanent referral relationship** is established. This relationship is valid across all chains where Paddle is deployed.
* **Self-invitations are not allowed**.

### **Earning Referral Rewards**

* You earn at least **25% of the gaming fees** generated by your invitees.

### **Additional Features**:

* **Permanent Referrals**: Once a referral relationship is established, it remains in place for all future game modes by your invitee.
* **No Exploitation**: Self-referrals and suspicious activities (e.g., creating fake accounts or trading with your own invitees) will be monitored and penalized.

### **Tiered Referral System**

Your **referral earnings scale** based on your invite count, referral trade volume, and manual review.

**Referral Levels:**

* **Level 1:** Earn **25%** of gaming fees from direct invitees.
* **Level 2:** Earn **50%** of gaming fees from direct invitees.

**Referral Titles:**

* **General** – Earn rebates only from **direct invitees** (first layer).
* **Commander** – Earn **25% of every gaming fee** within your **entire referral network**, including your invitees' invitees.

### **Example Calculation**

Assume the current **gaming fee = 2.5%** and a trader you invited **trades $10,000**:

* **As a Level 1 referrer:**
  * $10,000 x 2.5% x 25% = **$62.5**
* **As a Level 2 referrer:**
  * $10,000 x 2.5% x 50% = **$125**
* **As a General:**
  * If your invitee (Trader A) invites **Alice**, and Alice trades **$10,000**, you **earn nothing** from Alice.
* **As a Commander:**
  * You still earn **$62.5** from Alice’s trade, even though she wasn’t your direct invitee.

### **Claiming Referral Rewards**

* Referral earnings can be **claimed monthly** via personal dashboards.

### **Referral System for Vouchers**

* The **referral system applies to all supported settlement currencies** (e.g., **$BERA, $USDT, etc.**).
* **Vouchers do not generate referral rebates**, as they hold no monetary value.
* **Encourage your invitees to trade with real tokens** to maximize your earnings.
