Referral & Affiliate Program
Overview
The GX Exchange Referral Program rewards users who bring new participants to the platform. Referrers earn up to 40% commission on all revenue generated by their referrals — not just trading fees, but every revenue stream on GX Exchange. All payouts come from the GX Treasury. Your referrals pay standard fees, not more.
How It Works
- Generate a unique referral link from your GX Exchange dashboard
- Share the link with friends, followers, or community members
- When a new user signs up through your link, they are permanently linked to your account
- You earn up to 40% of all revenue they generate across every product on GX Exchange
