# Earn with Referrals

## Referral bonuses, explained

When a user makes a purchase using your referral link, you will receive:

* **1.5%** of their purchase amount in **kWATT energy tokens**, which can be used toward future rentals or even sold on a Kadena DEX.
* **25%** of their purchase value credited toward your **Discord roles progress**, helping you unlock higher status roles for Galxe integration. 

Referrals are cumulative. All referral purchases contribute to your total tracked value for role advancement.

**Example Scenarios**

* **Referral Purchase: $100**
  * You receive **$1.50** worth of kWATT tokens.
  * You gain **$25** toward your Discord roles tracker - enough to earn the **Baby Chip** role.
* **Referral Purchase: $5,000**
  * You receive **$75.00** worth of kWATT tokens.
  * You gain **$1,250** toward your Discord roles tracker -enough to unlock the **Control Board** role. With these two referrals, your cumulative total is now $1,275 in the Galxe Chips.finance competition, qualifying you for both of those Discord roles.

**Referral Bonus for the Referred User**

The referred user also benefits by receiving **2.5%** of their **first purchase** credited back in kWATT energy tokens, which can be applied to their next rental.

## Final notes

The Chips referral system is more than just a way to earn extra tokens. It's a powerful tool to grow your mining potential while helping build the community. Whether you're inviting friends, sharing in crypto groups, or onboarding new miners, every referral adds value to your wallet and your standing in the ecosystem.

Even small referrals can add up. As your total referral value increases, you’ll unlock new Discord roles with additional perks and visibility. This is especially useful for users participating in Galxe campaigns or looking to stand out as active contributors in the Chips network.

If you're already benefiting from Chips, take the next step and share it with others. You'll earn kWATT tokens, advance through the role system, and play a key role in expanding the future of decentralized mining.
