# Referral Program

The Sharp Referral System offers a structured way for users to benefit from expanding the platform's user base. Users can ascend through the tiers and increase their rewards by meeting referral and trading requirements.

## Overview

The Sharp Referral System is designed to reward users for referring new members to the platform. Users can earn a percentage of the fees paid by anyone who joins using their referral link.

## Eligibility

To be eligible and generate their own referral link, users must have a minimum trading volume of 1 SOL on Solana (0.1+ $ETH on Eclipse). Additionally, for referrals to count towards the next tier progress, they must also hit a trading volume of 1 SOL.

## Tier Structure and Rewards

* Tier 4: This base tier does not require any referrals but volume made on the platform (1+ $SOL on Solana and 0.1+ $ETH on Eclipse). All users start at this tier and will receive 10% of the fees that their referrals generate.
* Tier 3: Requires 5 referrals. Users in this tier will receive 15% of the fees generated by their referrals.
* Tier 2: Requires 25 referrals. Users in this tier will receive 20% of the fees generated by their referrals.
* Tier 1: Requires 50 referrals. Users in this tier will receive 30% of the fees generated by their referrals.

## How to Refer

Users can generate their referral link once they meet the minimum trading volume requirement of 1 SOL. They can then share this link with potential new users. As new members join and trade, the referrer will earn a percentage of the fees based on their current tier.
