## <mark style="color:yellow;">Referrals are organized into a 3-tier system ✨</mark>&#x20;

1. Tier 1 - Direct Referrals: Earn 30% of Nova’s 1% fee on every trade.
2. Tier 2 - Indirect Referrals: Earn 3% of Nova's 1% fee on every trade.
3. Tier 3 - Extended Referrals: Earn 2% of Nova's 1% fee on every trade.

💡 *See below for an explanation on how each tier works*

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Tier 1 (Direct Referrals) " %}
For referring people with your unique referral code - you will earn 30% of our fees from any users that came to Nova directly because of **you.**

**Example - Imagine you are Person A:**

* You (*Person A*) share your referral link with a friend, Person B.
* Person B signs up using your link and trades $10,000 in a day.
* Nova's Fee: $10,000 \* 1% = $100
* Your Commission (Person A) : 30% of $100 = $30
  {% endtab %}

{% tab title="Tier 2 (Indirect Referrals)" %}
Users who signed up using a referral link from a user and then share their own referral - you can earn 3% of our fees from their users too.

**Example:**&#x20;

* Person B shares their referral link with Person C.&#x20;
* Person C signs up and trades $10,000 in a day.&#x20;
* Nova Bot’s Fee: $10,000 \* 1% = $100&#x20;
* Your Commission (Person A) : 3% of $100 = $3
* Person B’s Commission: 30% of $100 = $30
  {% endtab %}

{% tab title="Tier 3 (Extended Referrals)" %}
Users who signed up using a referral link from an indirect referral (Person C) and then share their own referral - you can earn 2% of our fees from their users too.&#x20;

**Example:**&#x20;

* Person C shares their referral link with Person D
* Person D signs up and trades $10,000 in a day.
* Nova Bot's Fee: $10,000 \* 1% = $100
* Your Commission (Person A) : 2% of $100 = $2
* Person B’s Commission: 3% of $100 = $3
* Person C’s Commission: 30% of $100 = $30
  {% endtab %}
