# Referral System

#### How does it work?

**Step 1:** Connect your wallet and get your unique referral link.

**Step 2:** Share your referral link with your friends

**Step 3:** Earn at least 8% performance fee (CIAN charges an 8% performance fee, with 8% of that 8% allocated as referral rewards) when each friend successfully deposits into CIAN

**Step 4:** If the friend you invited brings in other friends who make deposits, you'll earn an additional at least 3% performance fee as a reward

{% hint style="info" %}
When a friend you invite successfully makes a deposit using your referral link, the referral relationship will be established. Going forward, you’ll earn a share of the performance fees from all of your friend’s deposits on CIAN\

{% endhint %}

#### Referral Rewards

**Direct referral rewards:** When a friend you invited makes a deposit, you will receive a performance fee of at least 8% of their deposit

**Indirect referral rewards:** If a friend you invited brings in new friends who make deposits, you will receive an additional at least 3% performance fee from the deposits made by these new friends

**Referral points:** When the friends you invite earn CIAN points, you will also receive at least 2% of their points (this will increase to 20% during certain promotional periods)\\
