Referral system use cases

Influencer marketing

Engage crypto influencers and KOLs to promote your fundraising campaign by offering them competitive commission rates. Track their performance directly through the platform and compensate them transparently.

Community incentives

Empower your community members to become advocates by providing them with referral links. This creates a grassroots marketing approach while rewarding active community participants.

Strategic partnerships

Collaborate with complementary projects by setting up referral links for your partners. This creates mutually beneficial relationships while expanding your project's reach.

Best practices

  • Use descriptive names: Create clear, identifiable names for each referral link to simplify tracking

  • Regular reviews: Periodically evaluate the performance of each referral and adjust commissions accordingly

  • Limit active referrals: Focus on quality over quantity by maintaining a manageable number of active referrals

Communication

  • Provide clear guidelines to your referrers about how to effectively promote your project

  • Set expectations regarding payment schedules and minimum thresholds

  • Share promotional materials and key messaging to ensure consistent communication

Commission rate strategy

  • Tier your commissions: Offer higher rates to influencers with larger audiences or proven track records

  • Start conservative: Begin with moderate commission rates (2-5%) that you can increase for high performers

  • Consider value alignment: Provide better terms to promoters who genuinely believe in your project
