# Referral Program
Earn commission when friends you refer trade on Aster Perps.
### How It Works
1. Go to the Referral page and generate your referral link.
2. Share your link with friends.
3. Earn commission on every trade they make.
The default 10% commission can be split between you and your referred friend. For example: keep 5% for yourself and pass 5% back to your friend as a discount on their fees — or adjust the split to suit your sharing strategy.
**Note:** High-volume traders can apply for an upgraded commission rate via [this form](https://forms.gle/7iwxjFw38ojiyVJu6). Approved affiliates receive 20% commission from referred VIP 1 users and 10% from VIP 2 and above.
### **Payouts and tracking**
* All rebate rewards are calculated in real time and transferred to your Aster account by the following day.
* The statistics shown on the referral page have a 1-2 hours delay.
* Rewards are paid out in the same asset your referee used to pay their trading fees.
* You can view your full rebate history on the [Referral page](https://pro.asterdex.com/referral).
### **Terms**
* Rebate rates are calculated daily at 00:00 UTC and updated at 09:00 UTC.
* Referral relationships are valid for 365 days by default (Aster may extend this at its discretion).
* No limit on the number of people you can invite — only new users who sign up via your link are eligible.
* Liquidation fees, self-trade volume, and zero-fee trade volume are excluded from commission calculations.
* Self-referrals (inviting yourself via multiple accounts) are not permitted. If detected, all rewards will be revoked.
* Custom referral codes that are offensive, misleading, or harmful may result in removal from the program.
* Referrers are responsible for understanding the legal implications of promoting leveraged trading in their region.
* Aster reserves the right to modify rates, rules, or cancel the program at any time.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.asterdex.com/program-and-rewards/referral-program.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
