How It Works
The affiliate program uses blockchain-based attribution to track referrals:Users Sign Up
When someone signs up through your link, they’re permanently attributed to you on-chain.
On-Chain Attribution
Kuest uses smart contracts for referral tracking:Permanent Attribution
- Referral relationships recorded on-chain
- Cannot be changed or removed
- Verifiable on the blockchain
- No expiration date
First-Touch Attribution
The first referral link a user clicks receives permanent credit:- First referrer gets credit forever
- Subsequent referral links have no effect
- Protects original referrer’s commission
Privacy & Transparency
- Referral counts and volumes are public
- Individual referral identities can remain private
- Commission calculations are transparent
- Verify your referrals on-chain
Fee Sharing
Commission Structure
Affiliates earn a percentage of trading fees: Default Commission Rate- 30% of the exchange trading fee
- Applied to all referral trades
- Paid out automatically

Commission is taken from the trading fee at execution, not from trade volume. The exchange base fee comes out first, then the affiliate commission is calculated.

| Bronze | 1-10 | 30% |
