# Referrals

> The Priest.trade referral program allows traders and influencers to earn continuous cash flow by introducing new traders to the platform.

The Priest.trade referral program allows traders and influencers to earn continuous cash flow by introducing new traders to the platform.

## 1. How the Program Works

* **Your Referral Link:** Every connected user receives a unique referral code and link (e.g. `priest.trade/ref/CONGREGATION`).
* **Lifetime Tracking:** When a friend connects their wallet using your link, their address is permanently mapped to your referral account.
* **5% Fee Rebate:** You earn **5% of every trading fee** your referred traders pay across all perpetuals markets on Priest.trade.
* **No Fee Increase for Referees:** Your referees pay the exact same low trading fees. The 5% rebate is carved out of the protocol's share as an affiliate commission.
