Referral Commission in Detail¶
How the 20% lifetime commission is calculated, what counts, what doesn't, and the planned Co-Founder Pass boost.
How commission is calculated¶
When an invitee earns PP from an eligible action, the commission is computed on the final awarded amount — after their streak boost and daily caps are applied:
your commission = invitee's awarded PP × 20%
So an invitee on a +300% streak earning 4,000 PP from a sweep pays you 800 PP — their streak boost effectively raises your commission too, even though your own streak never applies to commission.
What pays commission¶
| Invitee action | Commission? |
|---|---|
| Daily check-ins | ✓ |
| Swaps, dust sweeps, burns | ✓ |
| Spin prizes | ✓ |
| Quest rewards | ✓ |
| Their referral bonuses & commissions | ✗ — referral actions never cascade |
| One-time drops (e.g. Footprint Drop) | To be confirmed before publication |
The exclusion of referral-type actions is deliberate: it prevents multi-level pyramid mechanics. You earn from people you directly invited — one level, forever.
Timing and visibility¶
- Commission is credited automatically and promptly after the invitee's earning is recorded — no claiming step.
- Your PP history labels commission entries separately, so you can distinguish activity earnings from referral income.
- The referral leaderboard updates on a periodic snapshot (refreshed every few hours), so board positions can lag your live totals slightly.
Planned: Co-Founder Pass boost (not live)¶
DustSwap plans a commission boost for Co-Founder Pass holders: a 30% commission rate (instead of the standard 20%) on all referral earnings. Status:
- Not live yet — today everyone earns the standard 20%.
- Launch timing, pass details, and final mechanics will be announced; figures here may be adjusted before launch.
- When live, the boost is expected to apply automatically to qualifying holders — no claim step.
User Safety Note No pass, NFT, or boost is currently for sale through these docs. If the Co-Founder Pass becomes available, it will be announced through official channels (the app and the official Discord). Treat any "pre-sale" offered in DMs as a scam.
FAQ¶
Is commission paid in anything other than PP? No — commission is PP only. There is no fee-revenue or token share in the referral system.
Does my own streak boost increase my commission? No. Commission is computed from the invitee's awarded amount; only their boost matters.
If my invitee hits a daily cap, what do I earn? 20% of what they were actually awarded — capped earnings produce capped commission.
Can I lose commission already earned? Earned commission stays, except in abuse cases (fake/self-referrals), where wrongly earned PP can be removed.
