Affiliate & Referral Programs

Word of mouth is the most powerful growth channel for any platform. bonuz builds referral tracking directly into the ecosystem so that every user who brings in another user gets credit for it, permanently.

How It Works Today

When an existing bonuz user invites someone new, the referral relationship is recorded on the backend. User A invites User B. That connection is saved. User A is permanently marked as the person who onboarded User B. This relationship persists regardless of what happens later in either user's journey.

Referral tracking is live today. Every user who onboards another user is credited and that data is stored.

Points rewards. Users who refer others currently earn additional points through the bonuz onboarding experience. The more users you bring in, the more points you accumulate. These points contribute to the user's standing in the ecosystem and can lead to rewards as the points system evolves.

Onboarding game. bonuz runs a live onboarding game (Antimatter Points Reactor) where referral activity is one of the key point-earning actions. The game is designed to make the first experience with bonuz engaging while rewarding users who actively grow the community. It's lightweight, not a standalone game, but an onboarding flow with built-in incentives.

What's Planned

The referral structure is being built with a larger vision in mind: lifetime commission tiers for users who onboard other users. The model is simple in concept. User A brings in User B. When User B generates activity in the ecosystem (swaps, purchases, engagement), User A earns a small commission. The more users you onboard and the more active they are, the higher your tier, and the more you earn.

Potential commission sources include transaction fees from swaps and trades, platform activity fees, engagement-related revenue, and other ecosystem activities that generate value.

The tier structure would reward different levels of referral activity. A user who onboards 5 active users earns at one rate. A user who onboards 50 earns at a higher tier. The exact rates, tiers, and commission sources are still being developed.

What we guarantee: the referral relationships are saved. Which user brought which user is recorded permanently. This is the foundation. When the commission structure is finalized and activated, the historical referral data is already in place. Early referrers won't lose credit because they started before the program was fully live.

What we don't promise: specific commission rates, specific payout timelines, or specific revenue sources. This is an active development area. The structure will be activated progressively as the ecosystem matures, the revenue model solidifies, and the technical implementation is ready. bonuz is committed to rewarding users who help grow the ecosystem, but the specifics are not finalized and no guarantees are made about future payouts.

Why It Matters

Most referral programs are afterthoughts. A promo code, a one-time bonus, and then nothing. bonuz is building referral tracking into the foundation of the ecosystem from day one because the users who bring in other users are the most valuable participants in the network. Saving that data now means those early contributors can be properly rewarded as the ecosystem grows, even if the full reward structure isn't live yet.

The principle is straightforward: if you help build the network, the network should reward you. The mechanics of how are being developed. The commitment to who is already recorded.
