# Referral Program

Invite friends to HyperFlash and earn rewards when they trade.

### What you get

#### 1) Rebate (trading fee rebate)

When your referral trades, you receive a **rebate** based on their trading activity.

> Rebate rates can vary by campaign. Your dashboard always shows the current rebate % and your earned amount.

#### 2) Referral Points

Referrals also help you earn **Points** in two ways:

* **Referral Bonus Quests** (one-time bonuses)
* **Referral Volume Boost** (ongoing weekly boost)

***

### How referrals work

1. Share your **referral link/code**
2. Your friend signs up using it
3. When they trade, your referral rewards start accruing

**Important:** Only trades made after they register using your link/code count.

***

### Referral Volume Boost (points)

Each week, **20% of your referrals’ eligible trading volume** is added to your own weekly volume **for points calculation**.

Example:\
If your referrals trade **$500,000** this week, we add **$100,000** to your weekly volume for points.

***

### Referral Quests (one-time point bonuses)

Complete these to earn instant points:

#### The Recruiter — **+5,000 points**

Invite **3 friends** who each trade **$100,000+** (lifetime or within a quest window shown in-app).

***

### Referral milestones

You may see milestones like these in your dashboard:

* **Refer 3 more people**
* **Trade $10,000 in volume**
* **Run 10 or more bots** *(see tracking rules below)*

Milestones are designed to guide you toward higher rewards and unlock special campaigns.

***

### Tracking & eligibility rules (anti-abuse)

To keep the program fair:

* We track and remove **wash trading** (fake volume).
* If an account is flagged, referral rewards and points may be **reversed** and the account may be **banned**.
* Only **eligible volume** counts (see Points page for the definition used in leaderboards).

#### Bot-based milestones (how we measure “running bots”)

If a milestone or quest requires bots:

* A bot must be **active and placing orders** (not just created).
* “Running” may be measured by **active trading time** during the week (example: total active minutes), not simply “turned on for 10 seconds.”

> Your dashboard will show the exact criteria for any active campaign.

### FAQ

#### Can I refer myself?

No. Self-referrals are not eligible.

#### Does referral volume give me points even if I don’t trade?

Referral volume boosts your weekly volume, but you still must meet weekly eligibility requirements to appear on the leaderboard (see Points page).

#### When do referral rewards update?

Rewards and points typically update throughout the day. Some components may finalize after the weekly reset.
