# Referral Program

## Referral Program

Buzz rewards you for growing the community. Share your unique referral link to invite friends. When they register and start earning, you earn a share of their points, credited into the **same bucket(s)** they earned in.

#### How it works

The Buzz referral program is simple and fair:

* The referrer earns **10–20%** of the **exact points** their referred users earn.
* Earnings are credited into the **same bucket** the referral earned in (Buzz Links, Stakers, On-chain Quests, or In-app Quests).
* Referrals are **one-level only** (no multi-tier).

#### Activation gate

Referral points start only **after** the invited user passes a minimum activation gate (for example: registration + first quest completion or first qualified conversion). This keeps the system honest and filters out passive sign-ups.

#### How the bucket overlay works

Since referral points are credited per bucket, your payout at snapshot follows the same **value-per-point** logic as direct earnings:

* If your referral earns in the **Buzz Links** bucket, your referral bonus is added to your Buzz Links points.
* If your referral earns in the **On-chain Quests** bucket, your bonus is added to your On-chain points.
* And so on for Stakers, In-app Quests.

At snapshot, each bucket computes a value-per-point based on its total points, and your payout is proportional to all of your points in that bucket (direct + referral-derived).

#### Example

Your referral earns:

* **5,000 points** in Buzz Links
* **2,000 points** in On-chain Quests
* **1,000 points** in In-app Quests

At a 15% referral rate, you receive:

* **750 points** in Buzz Links
* **300 points** in On-chain Quests
* **150 points** in In-app Quests

These points are credited automatically from the points ledger and are visible as a separate "Referrals" breakdown in your stats, so you can always see what came from direct activity and what came from referrals.

#### How to use your referral link

1. Open the campaign page and copy your referral link.
2. Share it anywhere: DMs, email, Telegram, Discord, Reddit, X, Threads, YouTube, Medium, blogs, or any crypto-friendly community.
3. Your invitees connect their wallet, click **Register**, and start earning. No social accounts required.

As they earn across the buckets, your referral points show up in the leaderboard and your stats breakdown.

#### Caps and integrity

To protect reward pools and prevent sybil clustering:

* Campaigns can set **caps on referral-derived points** per user or per campaign.
* Self-referrals, multi-accounts, and suspicious clusters are detected and removed.
* The broader Buzz integrity model applies: bot/VPN filtering, IP/device caps, wallet quality scoring, and anomaly review.

There is no limit to how many people you can refer, but referral-derived points are subject to the caps and integrity rules set by the campaign.

#### Referral rates by campaign

The exact referral rate within the **10–20%** range is campaign-configurable. The rate and any caps are shown on the campaign's referral panel.

### Looking for USDC commissions on IDO activity?

The Buzz referral program described above is **campaign-level** and pays in **Buzz Points by bucket**. ChainGPT Pad also runs a **platform-wide Referral Program** that pays **USDC commissions, staking points boosts, and First-Time IDO bonuses** when your referrals stake, join IDOs, or participate in Buzz campaigns.

For details on USDC commission tiers, the 12-month referral duration, and the Pad referral dashboard, see the [**ChainGPT Pad Referral Program**](https://docs.chaingpt.org/our-ecosystem/chaingpt-pad/referral-program) page.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Disclaimer:** Buzz referrals are campaign incentives and do not constitute investment advice. Referral rates, activation gates, caps, and payout mechanics are determined by the campaign rules and may vary per campaign. Self-referrals, sybil clustering, and fraudulent activity will be removed. Always review the campaign page for the current terms.
