The Referral Engine allows approved GASCOIN submitters to earn points by referring new users to the platform. When someone you referred gets their first submission approved, you earn a 100-point welcome bonus. You also earn 2% of all points your referred users accumulate — ongoing passive income capped at 10,000 points per month.

Who can use the referral system

You must have at least one approved submission to generate a referral link and earn rewards. Users without any approved submission can see the referral page but the link generation is locked until they complete a successful submission.

Your referral link

Your referral link is unique to your wallet address and is deterministically generated — it never changes. The format is: https://gascoin.com/submit?ref=XXXXXXXX where XXXXXXXX is your 8-character referral code.

Share this link anywhere: X, Telegram, Discord, text message, or any other platform where people might be interested in getting their gas money back.

How a referral conversion works

Someone clicks your referral link
Their browser stores your referral code for 7 days (the attribution window)
They submit a gas receipt using the platform
Their submission passes all 10 verification gates and is approved
The system detects your referral code on their submission and checks eligibility
If eligible, a 100-point welcome bonus is awarded to your wallet. You also begin earning 2% passive income from their future points
Points are credited automatically. No admin action needed for referral points

How Grok protects the referral system

Every referral point award passes through Grok before it lands in your wallet. Grok runs four checks: ring detection (catches A→B→C→A circular referral schemes), wallet trust scoring (new or low-trust wallets get extra scrutiny), velocity analysis (flags accounts earning referral points faster than normal), and AI verification for high-value or suspicious awards. If Grok flags an award, it is held for manual review instead of being credited automatically.

Referral rules and limits

Referral dashboard metrics

The referral page dashboard shows: Total Clicks (how many times your link has been clicked), Unique Visitors (unique devices), Conversions (approved submissions through your link), Conversion Rate (unique clicks that resulted in an approved submission), and Points Earned (total referral points to date).

Referral leaderboard

The bottom of the referral page shows the top 10 referrers across the entire platform ranked by total conversions. This leaderboard is public — no wallet connection required to view it.

When referral rewards are skipped

A conversion is marked "skipped" rather than "pending" when eligibility rules prevent a reward:

Skip Reason	What It Means	Reversible?
Self-referral	You submitted using your own referral link	No — permanent
Referrer not approved	You had no approved submissions when the conversion occurred	No — permanent
Monthly cap reached	You hit 20 conversions in the rolling 30-day window	Resets after 30 days
Monthly points cap reached	You hit 10,000 points in referral rewards this window	Resets after 30 days
