# Referrals&#x20;

At the core of Memewhales, we’ve built a robust Referral system that rewards our users for bringing others into the platform. 💰

## How it Works:

* Any user can join the referral program by going to the dashboard and generating a unique referral code. 🔑
* Users who click your referral link and connect their wallet to our website will automatically be linked to you as their referrer.&#x20;
* When a user successfully joins via your referral code, you will earn a commission on **ALL** their buys and sells on our platform, across every coin. This commission is perpetual. ♾️
* On your dashboard, you can always see who joined using your code, when they joined, their blockchain address, and links to confirm their transactions. 🕵️‍♂️

*Note: The user must connect their wallet for the referral to be successful. If they've already connected their wallet in the past, it won’t work.* 🔗

## Payment System

* Our platform charges a 1% fee on all buys and sells. Of this fee, 30% is given to the referrer. 💸
* For example, if a user makes 10 buys, we take 1% of the total volume of those buys, and you, as the referrer, get 30% of that 1%.  📊

## Payment Cycles

* To keep things organized, all payments occur on a weekly cycle based on the week of the year (Week 1, Week 2, and so on). 📆
* All payments are processed within 2 days after the weekly cycle ends. ⏳

## How to join the Referral Program

3- Now you can start inviting users using your unique URL. 📧

* Every time a new user joins via your link and connects their wallet to our platform, they’ll be added to your referrals.

4- In the "Wallets Affiliated" section, you can monitor who joined and when they did so via your code. 📅

5- In the "Cycles Summary," you can see your performance each week. Results are updated every 24 hours, so instant buys and sells might only be reflected the next day. 📈

6- When a payment is made to you for a completed cycle, the status will update to 'Paid.'&#x20;

If your payment is marked as 'Paid,' the funds should already be in your wallet. 💵

* On the left side of the page, you can get a quick view of your all-time performance, as well as the current and previous cycles.
