Prize for Referred Traders

We’re also rewarding traders who are new to Perpetual Protocol!

The first 1,000 new traders to sign up through a referral link from 3am UTC, Feb 18 to 3am UTC, Mar 4 will receive a Perp-branded t-shirt by receiving a gift card to use in our merchandise store. No trades have to be made for the t-shirt.

More Details About the V2 Referral Program

To get started, create your own referral code by visiting referral.perp.com and connect with your MetaMask wallet via the Optimism Network. Click on ‘I am a referrer’, enter your referral code and then click on ‘Create’. You can then promote your referral code to increase your earnings.

The major benefit of joining our referral program is that you can earn PERP for bringing new traders to Perp V2!

The more trading fees your referred traders generate, the greater your rewards. To see how many PERP tokens you can earn, check out the table below. Earnings are based on the trading fees generated by your referred traders, which is then multiplied by a rebate percentage (based on your staked PERP) and we sum these figures across all of your referred traders. All referral rewards are calculated at 00:00 UTC each Sunday with PERP rewards being paid out via the Optimism network.

While the new program will be open to everyone, we’ll also be introducing two VIP tiers, which offer a rebate of up to 55% for referral partners who meet two requirements:

1. Exclusivity to Perpetual Protocol in the area of decentralized derivatives, and
2. Minimum fee generation from referral traders.

Note: Traders who want to trade directly with the contract will need to supply the “referralCode” argument to the position methods on the contract.

By using a referral code, referred traders enjoy a 20% rebate on their trading fees with a cap based on the number of PERP tokens they have staked (shown by the table below).

We want to thank everyone in advance for taking part in our referral competition and we wish you good luck. If you have any questions about the competition or our new referral program, please feel free to contact us via Discord!
