Referrals Guide

Earn rewards by inviting friends to trade with PolyBot. This guide explains how referral links work, the multi‑tier earnings structure (25% / 5% / 3%), and how to claim rewards.

Overview​

  • Rewards source: a share of PolyBot trading fees (not trade size)
  • Payout asset: USDC.e on Polygon (to your PolyBot wallet)
  • Tiers: 3 levels — 25% (L1), 5% (L2), 3% (L3) of fees
  • Visibility: Track referrals and rewards in Settings → Referral Program

Screenshot

  1. Get your link:
    • In Telegram, open ⚙️ Settings → 🤝 Referral Program
    • Copy your personal deep‑link: t.me/<your_bot>?start=ref_<code>
    • Optionally tap “Generate QR Code” to share visually
  2. Share your link with friends
  3. When someone starts the bot from your link and creates a wallet, they become your Level‑1 referral
  4. If your Level‑1 referral also invites others, those new users become your Level‑2, and so on up to Level‑3

Notes

  • Self-referrals are blocked
  • The deep-link must be used on the new user's very first /start before their wallet is created

Earnings Structure (25% / 5% / 3%)​

You earn a percentage of PolyBot’s trading fee (not the trade notional) generated by your referral network:

  • Level 1 (direct invites): 25% of PolyBot’s fee
  • Level 2: 5% of PolyBot’s fee
  • Level 3: 3% of PolyBot’s fee

Example (Buy Trade)

  • User buys for $100
  • PolyBot fee (1%) = $1.00
  • If that user is your direct (L1) referral: you earn $0.25

Accrual Timing

  • Rewards accrue when an on‑chain fill occurs (partial fills accrue proportionally).
  • Note: Rewards are subject to a 5-minute maturity window before they become claimable.
  • You’ll see your claimable balance increase as your referrals trade and rewards mature.

Tracking & Stats​

Open ⚙️ Settings → 🤝 Referral Program to view:

  • Your unique referral link (and QR)
  • Total Referrals (count)
  • Lifetime Earnings ($)
  • Total Claimed ($)
  • Current Claimable Balance ($)

Claiming Rewards​

  1. In the Referral screen, tap “💸 Claim Rewards”
  2. If your claimable balance ≥ minimum (default $5.00 USDC.e), confirm the claim
  3. PolyBot pays your claim to your PolyBot wallet (USDC.e) and updates your stats

Important

  • Minimum claim threshold is configurable (default: $5.00)
  • A short cooldown may apply between claims (e.g., 10 minutes)
  • Claims that fail on-chain are retried or reverted back to "claimable"

Best Practices​

  • Share your link in communities where prediction market users hang out
  • Add context: explain that PolyBot is fast, self‑custodial, and gas‑sponsored
  • Use the QR code for events or visual posts

Eligibility & Anti‑Abuse​

  • Self‑referrals are prevented
  • Referral credit is assigned only when a new user starts the bot via your link prior to wallet creation
  • Rewards are based solely on PolyBot fee share for actual on‑chain fills

FAQ​

Q: Do rewards come from my referrals’ balances? A: No. Rewards are paid from PolyBot’s trading fee share.

Q: When do rewards show up? A: After referral trades are filled on‑chain, indexed, and the 5-minute maturity window completes.

Q: Why isn't my claimable balance updating instantly? A: Accrued rewards enter a brief 5-minute maturity window before they can be claimed. This helps ensure rewards are finalized before they are paid out.

Q: Where do claims get paid? A: Directly to your PolyBot wallet in USDC.e on Polygon.

Q: Can I change the minimum claim amount? A: The operator can adjust the system minimum; check the Referral screen for the current threshold.
