Staking Referral Program

Overview

The Staking Referral Program rewards users who refer new GX stakers. When a referred user stakes GX, the referrer earns a bonus on top of the standard trading referral rewards.

How It Works

  1. Share your referral link (same link as the trading referral program)
  2. When your referred user stakes GX tokens, you earn a staking referral bonus
  3. Bonuses are calculated based on the amount staked and the duration

Reward Structure

Referee Stake AmountReferrer Bonus
1,000 - 9,999 GX1% of staking rewards earned by referee
10,000 - 99,999 GX2% of staking rewards earned by referee
100,000 - 499,999 GX3% of staking rewards earned by referee
500,000+ GX5% of staking rewards earned by referee

Key Rules

  • Staking referral bonuses are paid in USDC (same as staking rewards)
  • Bonuses are separate from and additional to trading referral rewards
  • The referral relationship is permanent
  • Bonuses are calculated on the referee’s net staking rewards (after any validator commission)
  • If the referee unstakes, bonuses cease during the unbonding period
  • Referrer bonuses come from the protocol treasury allocation, not from the referee’s rewards

Example

  • You refer a user who stakes 100,000 GX
  • Their annual staking reward: approximately 16,000 USDC (at 16% APY)
  • Your staking referral bonus: 3% of 16,000 = 480 USDC/year
  • Plus your trading referral rewards from their trading activity
