How does the Affiliate Program Work?
The dYdX Affiliate Program is designed to provide clear and attractive incentives for affiliates. Affiliates can earn commissions based on the taker fees generated by the users they refer to the protocol.
The program features a lifetime commission model, meaning affiliates continue to earn as long as their referred users keep trading on dYdX. Additionally, commissions are paid out instantly and automatically on-chain, ensuring real-time transparency and quick access to earnings without any delays. This all occurs in a fully automated and permissionless manner; the way it should be in DeFi.
To join the program, affiliates must meet specific eligibility criteria, including trading at least a $10,000 on dYdX. Standard affiliates can earn up to 15% of the taker fees from their referrals, with potential earnings of up to 3,000 USDC per referral within a 30-day rolling period.
How to get started?
In order to unlock your referral link, you need to have traded at least $10,000 on dYdX. This can be done with or without leverage.
For example, opening a 2000 USDC position with 5x leverage would make you qualify to become an Affiliate.
Go to referrals:
Go to https://dydx.trade/referrals and check under "Stats" whether you have reached $10,000 in volume
Note: In this case, it shows your current traded volume has not reached $10,000 yet. Wait until the required volume has been reached to unlock your affiliate link.
Generate link:
Once 10,000 USDC in trading volume has been reached, you can click the "Invite Friends" button on the right, to generate your unique affiliate link.
Spread the word
Share your affiliate link through various channels such as social media, blogs, and websites. You are free to try what you think will work best for you! Effective promotion strategies can maximize your reach and increase your earnings.
Monitor Your Performance: Use the affiliate dashboard to track your referrals, trading volumes, and earned commissions. This transparency allows you to optimize your strategies and maximize your rewards.
