Affiliate Rewards
Our platform runs an Affiliate Rewards program to incentivize partners—bloggers, influencers, media outlets—to bring new, active Users and Projects on-board. Affiliates earn a share of every $8lends mint generated by their referrals under the PoL, EAB and PoR mechanisms.
Reward Split
C is the User/Project’s cashback percentage.
1−C: the Affiliate’s (or Platform’s) percentage of the mint.
Here:
Project/User share: C × Δ$8LENDS.
Affiliate share: (1−C) × Δ$8LENDS if the User / Project was referred.
Platform share: (1−C) × Δ$8LENDS if there is no valid referral (this effectively covers our acquisition cost).
Whenever ΔL $8LENDS are minted for a referred User or Project, the distribution is:
Process Flow
Referral linkage
A User or Project clicks an affiliate link or uses a promo code.
Backend records the pairing: account → affiliate.
Minting event
When PoL, EAB or PoR awards are calculated, the system computes Δ$8LENDS for the User/Project.
It then applies the split above, crediting both the User/Project and the Affiliate in their off-chain wallets.
Invalidation
If a stages is deemed void (e.g., loan never funds), both User and Affiliate allocations are burned, in line with PoL/EAB logic.
Claim & unlock
Affiliate tokens unlock under the same conditions as User tokens—only after the stage is confirmed successful.
All reward calculations remain off-chain for gas efficiency; final $8LENDS issuance is synchronized on-chain via the bonding-curve contract (see § 7.1).
Benefits
Transparency & Simplicity: Affiliates see one clear percentage (1−C) tied directly to actual platform spend—no multilayer hierarchies.
Flexible Marketing Levers: Adjusting a single parameter C lets us dial affiliate incentives up or down without touching core PoL/EAB/PoR math.
Fair Compensation: Affiliates reliably earn meaningful rewards for driving both Users and Projects to the platform.
