Referrals
$1 for your invitee, up to $6 for you.
Referrals
The math
| Who | Amount | When |
|---|---|---|
| Invitee | $1 | Once their account reaches $2 of recharge or consume |
| Inviter | $1 base | Same trigger |
| Inviter | + 5% of invitee's lifetime API spend (capped $5) | Rolling |
| Inviter max | $6 (base + bonus cap) | — |
Conditions (all must pass)
- Invitee recharge OR cumulative consume ≥ $2
- Invitee account is ≥ 24 hours old
- Inviter ≠ invitee (self-referral rejected)
- Invitee signup IP isn't in the inviter's 30-day IP set
- Invitee's device fingerprint hasn't settled a referral in 24h
Getting your invite codes
Each account mints 5 codes at signup. Find them on the dashboard's Invites page. Each code is single-use.
When do you see the reward?
Reward lands in your paid balance shortly after the invitee's first $2 of activity. The 5% bonus portion accrues rolling as the invitee uses the API — you'll see it accumulate on your transactions page.
Why the $6 cap?
Keeps the incentive aligned with real usage without becoming a self-bootstrapping affiliate scheme. A committed invitee earns the full $6. A drive-by one still earns the $1 base, which is profit on our side given the trial credit we budget per signup.
