Referral Program
Earn commissions by inviting friends to Vezta
Overview
Vezta's referral program lets you earn a share of trading fees generated by the people you invite -- and the people they invite. It uses a three-layer affiliate model where commissions flow up through your referral network.
Every authenticated user gets an Access Key they can share. When someone signs up using your key, they become your direct referral and you start earning from their trading activity.
How It Works
Share Your Access Key
Copy your unique Access Key or invite link from the Rewards page. You can also set a custom invite code (4-12 characters) for a personalized shareable link.
Friend Signs Up
When someone enters your Access Key during registration, they are automatically linked to your referral network. The Access Key is the referral mechanism -- no separate referral link needed.
Earn Commissions
Every time your referrals trade, you earn a percentage of the trading fees they generate. Commissions are credited automatically.
Three-Layer Revenue Share
Your earnings extend three levels deep:
- Layer 1 (Direct Referrals) -- you earn the highest commission rate on people you directly invite
- Layer 2 (Their Referrals) -- you earn 3% on people your referrals invite
- Layer 3 (Extended Network) -- you earn 2% on one more level deep
Commission Tiers
Your Layer 1 commission rate increases as your own cumulative trading volume grows. Layer 2 and Layer 3 rates are flat across all tiers.
Standard Users
| Tier | Volume Requirement | Layer 1 | Layer 2 | Layer 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tier 1 | Under $10,000 | 30% | 3% | 2% |
| Tier 2 | $10,000+ | 35% | 3% | 2% |
| Tier 3 | $100,000+ | 40% | 3% | 2% |
KOL / Partner / Leaderboard Users
| Tier | Volume Requirement | Layer 1 | Layer 2 | Layer 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tier 1 | Under $10,000 | 40% | 3% | 2% |
| Tier 2 | $10,000+ | 45% | 3% | 2% |
| Tier 3 | $100,000+ | 50% | 3% | 2% |
Referral commission tiers are separate from fee discount tiers. Fee tiers reduce your own trading costs. Referral tiers determine how much you earn from your referees. See Fee Tiers for details on fee discounts.
Access Keys
Access Keys are the invite codes that let new users join the platform. You earn the ability to generate keys through your trading activity.
| Account Type | Base Keys | Earn Rate | Weekly Cap |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | 1 on sign-up | +1 per $50 cumulative volume | 1 key/week |
| KOL / Partner | 5 keys/week (rolling) | +1 per $50 cumulative volume | 10 keys/week |
- Weekly caps reset every Monday at 00:00 UTC
- Unused KOL/Partner base keys do not roll over
- Volume-earned keys accumulate as long as the weekly cap is not hit
- A minimum of $50 trading volume is required to earn keys, preventing self-referral abuse
Custom Invite Code
Instead of sharing the system-generated Access Key, you can set a custom invite code:
- 4 to 12 characters, alphanumeric only
- Subject to availability
- Replaces your default code for sharing purposes
- Set it from the Rewards dashboard under Referral Settings
Referral Dashboard
Track your referral network performance from the Rewards page:
- Referral Rate -- your current L1/L2/L3 commission percentages
- Users Joined -- total count across all three layers
- Referral Volume -- aggregate trading volume of your referrals
- Fees Earned -- total referral commission earned to date
- Referral Tree -- visual breakdown of your L1, L2, and L3 network
- Referral List -- table view with wallet, layer, join date, volume, and earnings per user
Requirements
To activate referral earnings, you must:
- Verify your email -- referral commissions require a verified email address
- Have an active account -- your account must be in good standing
Email verification is required before your Access Key can be activated in the referral tree and before you can earn commissions.
