The **Referral System** empowers users to grow their Airdrop Points and deepen their yield through trusted connections. Share your link, bring in allies, and watch rewards ripple across the community.

***

## How It Works

* **Invite Allies**
  * Every user receives a unique **referral code** upon joining (during either Alpha or Mainnet).
  * Share it widely: social media, Discord, community threads, personal websites.
* **Earn on Their Yield (Mainnet Only)**
  * When a referred user completes a stake (via Key NFT vesting), **you** earn **10% of their total KeyFi tokens** (base + bonus).

**During the Alpha Phase, referrers earn Airdrop points more quickly for each successful referral.**
{% endhint %}

* **Passive Accrual**
  * Referral rewards are calculated and **disbursed automatically** once the referred Key NFT finishes vesting.
  * No BNB required, earn simply by sharing.

## Why It Matters

* **Amplifies Growth**: Every new user expands the ecosystem and your passive earnings.
* **Aligns Interests**: You only benefit when your referrals are rewarded, encouraging thoughtful invites.
* **Boosts Engagement**: Users are more likely to stake and vest responsibly, knowing their inviter shares in the payout.
