The referral program

Earn $WHUF for referring bidders, at a rate set by their Ethos score

Written by Serpin Taxt

Refer people to the sale and earn $WHUF based on their participation.

How it works

  1. Place a bid in the auction (minimum $100 USDC). Bidders receive a personal referral link.

  2. Share your link. When someone you refer registers and places a qualifying bid, you earn a bonus.

  3. Your bonus is a percentage of your referral's purchase amount, paid in $WHUF.

Your rate depends on their reputation

The bonus percentage is determined by the referred person's Ethos score at auction close:

  • Score below 1,000: no bonus

  • Rates scale continuously with score, rewarding more $WHUF to those who bring in more credible people.

Referring credible people pays more. That's intentional. It's a reputation protocol.

The rules

  • Single layer only. You earn on people you directly refer. There are no multi-level chains.

  • Both bids must clear. You earn referral bonuses only if your own bid clears at the final price — a refunded bid earns nothing, no matter how many people used your link. And your bonus is calculated on your referral's settled purchase (the USDC actually converted to tokens), not what they bid. If their bid doesn't clear, there's no bonus.

  • The referral pool is 100,000 $WHUF (1% of supply), separate from the Validator and Contributor XP bonus. If total referral demand exceeds the pool, all bonuses scale down proportionally.

  • Referral bonuses are distributed at TGE with the same lock as sale tokens. Referrals bonuses are not eligible for the Price Guarantee.
