# Referral System

<div data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="/files/gCm480Tmp2cTHwVup67F" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

The EtherForge Referral System is designed to encourage community participation and collective growth. Players can introduce new users directly and receive rewards in **$USDC** based on their referral tier. The reward amount increases as players refer more qualified users.

## Referral Tiers

## Qualification Requirements

A referral is considered qualified when the referred player performs at least one on-chain action, such as:

* Purchasing a Forge Machine
* Making an in-game $GENESIS transaction

Notes:

* Referrals without any on-chain activity will not generate rewards.
* All referral rewards are paid directly in $USDC to the referrer’s wallet, with no minimum or maximum withdrawal limit.

## Objectives

The EtherForge Referral System aims not only to expand the player base, but also to incentivize loyal players to contribute to long-term ecosystem development. It supports natural and sustainable community growth while redistributing value to those who help grow the network.
