Swiv rewards you for growing the network. Share your referral link, and you earn a cut of the protocol fee generated by everyone you bring in — paid out to your wallet.

How it works

1

Get your referral link

Open the Referrals page in the app. Your link is your username, in the form https://app.swiv.xyz/?ref=your-username.
2

Share it

Send your link to anyone. When they open it, your referral is remembered on their device — even if they sign up later.
3

They sign up and play

Once someone joins through your link and stakes in pools, you start earning.
4

You earn a share of the fee

Every time one of your referrals generates a protocol fee, a share of that fee accrues to you.

What you earn

You earn 20% of the protocol fee generated by each person you refer, on their own staked volume, for as long as they play.
Swiv charges a small protocol fee on the total volume of each resolved pool. Referrals are paid out of that fee — never on top of it, and never from your referral’s winnings.

Example

Suppose the protocol fee is 5% of pool volume.
  • You refer a friend, and they stake $100 across pools.
  • The protocol collects $5 in fees on that volume.
  • Your referral share is 20% of that fee — you earn $1.
Your cut scales directly with how much your referrals play. The more active the people you bring in, the more you earn.

Where earnings come from

Only on real fees

You earn only on fees the protocol actually collects. Pools that collect no fee — cancelled pools, refunds, or pools with a single participant — pay no referral.

Per referral, per pool

Your share is calculated from each referral’s own stake in each pool, not from a shared bucket.

Lifetime

You keep earning from a referral’s activity for as long as they keep playing.

Getting paid

Referral earnings accrue to your balance as your referrals play. You can track them on the Referrals page:
  • Referrals — how many people you’ve brought in.
  • Pending — earnings that have accrued and are awaiting payout.
  • Paid out — earnings already sent to your wallet.
Payouts are sent to your wallet on a regular schedule once your pending balance clears a small minimum, to avoid tiny transactions.

Rules

Anyone who opens your referral link and then creates a new Swiv account. The attribution is set once, when they sign up — it can’t be changed afterward.
No. Self-referrals are blocked, and referrals only earn from fees that are actually collected — so there’s nothing to farm by referring your own accounts.
Referrals only apply to brand-new sign-ups. Someone who already has a Swiv account can’t be referred, and an existing user clicking a link won’t be re-attributed.
Yes — your username is your referral code. If you haven’t set one, you’ll be prompted to before your link is active.
