# Referral System

#### Derivio Revenue Share Program

Earn revenue by growing Derivio’s trading ecosystem. The more your network trades, the more you earn — directly from protocol fees.

#### How It Works

When you join Derivio, you’ll receive a unique referral link. Share it with traders, creators, and power users. When someone signs up and trades using your link, you earn a percentage of the fees generated — not just from them, but across three levels of your referral tree.

#### 3-Tier Revenue Sharing

Derivio’s multi-tier system rewards you for both direct and indirect growth of the network:

Below is an example with 1% protocol fee (For the most up-to-date protocol fee percentages, follow us on X):

**Level 1 – Direct Referrals**

* **Commission:** 30% of protocol fees
* **Who qualifies:** Anyone who signs up with your referral link
* **Example:**
  * Referral trades $10,000
  * Fee = $100 (1%)
  * You earn $30<br>

**Level 2 – Indirect Referrals**

* **Commission:** 3% of fees
* **Who qualifies:** Users referred by your Level 1 referrals
* **Example:**
  * Your direct referral (Person B) invites Person C
  * Person C trades $10,000
  * You earn $3, Person B earns $30<br>

**Level 3 – Extended Referrals**

* **Commission:** 2% of fees
* **Who qualifies:** Users referred by your Level 2 network
* **Example:**
  * Person C invites Person D
  * Person D trades $10,000
  * You earn $2, Person B earns $3, Person C earns $30

***

#### Program Highlights

* **Protocol-Based Rewards:** Commissions are based on actual Derivio trading fees collected, net of discounts and incentives.<br>
* **Unlimited Earning Potential:** No cap on referrals or payouts.<br>
* **Fee Discounts for Referred Users:** New users who sign up through a referral link automatically receive 10% off trading fees.<br>
