On a pad

Referral links

Bring traders to a pad and earn from their trading fees.

On a pad with the Pay referrers block, anyone can earn from the traders they bring. A trader who arrives through your link is yours on that pad for good: you are paid out of the fees of every trade they make there.

  1. Open any token on the pad and connect your wallet.
  2. Under the trade ticket, in Bring traders, earn from their fees, choose Copy your link.

The box shows what you earn: a share of each trade on the curve, and a share of the pool fee after the token graduates. You don't need to have traded yourself.

Any page of the pad works as a referral link: add ?ref= and your wallet address to its address, for example orchard.padpad.io/?ref=YourWalletAddress.

How a trader becomes yours

  • When someone opens the pad through your link, their browser keeps you as their referrer for that pad. If they arrived through someone else's link first, that one is kept.
  • Their first trade names you on chain, in a memo inside the transaction. From then on they are bound to you on that pad, whichever browser or device they trade from later.
  • A wallet can't refer itself.

Being referred changes nothing for the trader: the same price and the same fee. Your share comes out of the pad's part of the fee.

Getting paid

The router pays referrers in SOL on its passes, straight to the wallet in the link. Amounts under 0.001 SOL are kept for you and paid once they pass it. Every payment shows on the pad's fees page.
