# Refer and earn

> Earn SOL commission across five levels of referrals.

```text theme={null}
/referral
```

Or tap **💸 Refer & Earn** in `/menu`. You get a personal link. Anyone who starts the bot through it joins your network.

## How the network works

Referrals go **five levels deep** (L1–L5). Someone you refer directly is L1. Someone *they* refer is L2, and so on down to L5.

When anyone in your network pays for a plan, you earn a **commission in SOL**.

<Note>
  Commission rates are set per referral and can change with promotions, so they are not listed here. `/referral` shows your live rates, your network size, and everything you have earned.
</Note>

## Tracking your network

`/referral` breaks your network into **total**, **paid**, and **unpaid** — how many people joined, and how many actually converted. `/status` shows the same summary line.

If you want to know the moment someone joins, keep the 🔗 **Referrals** toggle on in **⚙️ Settings**. Turn it off if a large network gets noisy — you still earn, you just are not told each time.

## Getting paid

Commissions are paid in SOL. Payouts are processed so that the same commission is never paid twice, and your referral balance is visible in `/referral` at any time.

## The free tier counts

Someone who joins on a free trial and pays later still counts as yours. Attribution is recorded when they start the bot through your link, not when they pay — so sharing the link with people who are only browsing is not wasted.
