# Trader Referrals

> How Blank referral codes, new-account acceptance, the 20/10/70 reward split, eligible trades, and claims work.

# Trader Referrals

<Info>
  Blank referrals reward both sides of an accepted referral: the referrer earns
  20%, the referred trader receives 10% cashback, and Blank keeps 70% of
  eligible net platform revenue. The split does not increase the trading fee.

## Reward split

| Recipient       | Share | How it is earned                                     |
| --------------- | ----: | ---------------------------------------------------- |
| Referrer        |   20% | Commission from an accepted trader's eligible trades |
| Referred trader |   10% | Cashback from their own eligible trades              |
| Blank           |   70% | Remaining eligible net platform revenue              |

The percentages apply to eligible **net platform revenue**, not to the trader's
transaction amount or the full trading fee. Creator-side fee allocations are
not reduced by referrals. There is no minimum trade size or trading-volume
requirement.

## Create and share a code

Every Blank account can create one referral code from the
[Referrals dashboard](https://blank.build/referrals), including accounts that
existed before the referral program launched.

Choose carefully: the code is permanent and cannot be renamed after creation.
Blank turns it into a shareable link in this format:

```text theme={null}
https://blank.build/r/your-code
```

Posting that link on X, Discord, Telegram, Slack, or iMessage shows a preview
card naming you as the referrer and stating the cashback the invitee gets. The
card uses the display name and username on your profile, so anyone who sees the
link also sees those — the same details the invite page has always shown.

Only users who explicitly accept the code appear as active referrals.

## Accept a referral

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open a referral link or enter a code">
    Blank saves the selected code for up to 30 days. This only preserves the
    selection; it does not accept the referral automatically.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review who invited you">
    The invite page shows the referrer the saved code belongs to before you
    commit to anything.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create your account">
    Only new accounts can be referred. An account that existed before the
    referral program launched cannot attach a referrer later. Connect and verify
    your account wallet to create the account and accept the referral.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Accept within 30 minutes">
    Acceptance must happen within 30 minutes of account creation. If the window
    lapses, the account keeps working but cannot attach a referrer.
  </Step>
</Steps>

Once accepted, the relationship is permanent. The referred account cannot
remove or change its referrer later. Self-referrals are not allowed, and each
referred account can have only one referrer.

<Warning>
  The 30-day saved-code period and the 30-minute acceptance window are separate.
  The 30-minute window begins when the new Blank account is created.
</Warning>

## Which trades earn rewards

A trade earns referral rewards only when all of these are true:

* the trader has explicitly accepted a referral;
* the trade is built and submitted through the authenticated Blank trading
  flow;
* the transaction succeeds and reaches Solana finality; and
* Blank can verify the exact eligible platform revenue from the finalized
  transaction.

Eligible Blank trades can occur on the bonding curve or after graduation.
Direct wallet transactions, trades routed through external aggregators, and
other activity outside Blank's authenticated trading flow are not wallet-wide
attributed and do not earn referral rewards.

Launch-protection premiums, migration reimbursements, upstream protocol or host
fees, and unrelated platform revenue are not part of the referral pool. Blank
calculates the split only from the eligible platform-side revenue it actually
receives after applicable upstream charges and capped collection costs.

## Track and claim rewards

The Referrals dashboard shows three reward states:

* **Pending finality:** the eligible trade or its revenue allocation is still
  being verified;
* **Available:** SOL that can be claimed to the verified account wallet; and
* **Claimed:** rewards already paid through a finalized claim.

There is no minimum claim amount and Blank does not deduct a referral claim fee.
The claiming wallet pays the normal Solana transaction fee. A first claim may
also require Solana account rent to create the claimant's on-chain account.

If a trade fails or never lands, it creates no reward. If a claim fails or
expires before landing, the available reward remains claimable and the user can
try again.

## Common questions

### Can an existing account create a referral code?

Yes. Every account can create and share one permanent code. Existing accounts
just cannot accept a referrer for themselves.

### Can I change the selected referrer?

Yes, before acceptance. After you accept, the relationship cannot be changed.

### Are rewards wallet-wide?

No. Only eligible trades built and submitted through Blank count.

### Is there a minimum?

No. There is no minimum trade size, required trading volume, or minimum claim
amount for the referral program.
