Referral Program

Web appLast verified 4 Nov 2026

The Referral Program pays you a share of the platform's part of the Synthetic trading fees paid by people you invited (direct referrals) and by people they invited (indirect referrals), from 15% and 1% up to 45% and 7% as your network grows.

How it works

You share your referral link. A friend who opens it and signs up becomes your direct referral; the people they invite become your indirect referrals. You can give part of your direct share back to your direct referrals as a Fee Discount. Earnings build up until you claim them to your Main balance.

Links and codes

• Link format: catapult.trade/r/CODE. The form catapult.trade/invite/CODE works too.
• A code has 3 to 32 characters: uppercase letters A to Z, digits, _ and -.
• You can keep several codes, rename them and delete them, but not the last one.
• You can choose to show your code on the sign-up form.

Which link counts. Before someone signs up, the last referral link they opened wins, for 30 days after that visit. Once an account is created on that device, the code is fixed and later link visits do not change it.

No referrer yet. If you signed up without a code, you can add a referrer within 1 hour of sign-up, while your account has no deposits, trades or referrals of its own. An existing referrer cannot be changed.

Tiers

Your tier sets both shares. It depends on the lifetime trading volume of your whole referral network, direct and indirect.

Tier	Network volume from	Direct share	Indirect share
Tier 1	$0	15%	1%
Tier 2	$1,000,000	20%	2%
Tier 3	$4,000,000	25%	3%
Tier 4	$10,000,000	30%	4%
Tier 5	$30,000,000	35%	5%
Tier 6	$70,000,000	40%	6%
Tier 7	$200,000,000	45%	7%

• Network volume is the amount paid into trades by your direct and indirect referrals, fees included, counted for every trade that paid you a reward. Only trading volume counts.
• Volume only grows, so a tier, once reached, is kept.

What you earn

You earn from the trading fee your referrals pay on Synthetic buys and sells (1% of the trade amount, as of 4 Nov 2026). Before your share is taken, the token creator's part comes out of that fee. On a Public token the creator earns 0.5% of the trade amount; a Private token has no creator part.

$$\text{base} = A \cdot f - A \cdot c$$

where $A$ is the trade amount, $f$ the trade fee rate and $c$ the creator share (0 on Private tokens).

$$E_{direct} = \text{base} \cdot s_1 \cdot (1 - d) \qquad E_{indirect} = \text{base} \cdot s_2$$

• $s_1$, $s_2$: the direct and indirect shares of your tier.
• $d$: the part of your direct share you give back as a Fee Discount (0 to 100%). Your direct referral's fee drops by $\text{base} \cdot s_1 \cdot d$.
• Indirect earnings come from Public tokens only.

Your direct referrals' profit fees also pay you your direct share, limited to the platform's part of that fee. The formulas and the calculator below leave this part out.

What does not count:

• Competition trades (Demo and Arena).
• The part of a trade paid with Bonus Balance.

Worked examples

Example 1: one trade. You are Tier 1 (15% / 1%). Your direct referral buys $1,000 of a Public token.

• Fee: 1000 × 1% = $10. Creator part: 1000 × 0.5% = $5. Base: $5.
• You earn 5 × 15% = $0.75.
• If the same trade were on a Private token: base $10, you earn $1.50.

Example 2: a month in Tier 1. Your direct referrals trade $50,000 (buys plus sells) on Public tokens; their own referrals trade $20,000.

• Direct: base 50000 × 0.5% = $250, earnings 250 × 15% = $37.50.
• Indirect: base 20000 × 0.5% = $100, earnings 100 × 1% = $1.00.
• Total: $38.50.

Example 3: Tier 3 with a discount. You are Tier 3 (25% / 3%) and give a 20% Fee Discount. Direct referrals trade $400,000 on Public and $100,000 on Private tokens; indirect referrals $300,000 on Public tokens.

• Direct base: 400000 × 0.5% + 100000 × 1% = 2000 + 1000 = $3,000.
• Full direct share: 3000 × 25% = $750. Discount to your referrals: 750 × 20% = $150. You keep $600.
• Indirect: 300000 × 0.5% × 3% = $45.
• Total: $645 for you, and your direct referrals paid $150 less in fees.

FAQ

Do my referrals pay more because of me? No. They pay the normal fee, or less if you set a Fee Discount.

Do I earn from 10000x Futures trades? The earnings above are from Synthetic trading fees. Futures trades of your referrals give you points.

Can I lose my tier? No. Network volume never decreases.
