WeWake's referral program isn't a one-time signup bonus. It's a continuous earning channel: every time someone buys WAKE through your link, you get 15% of their purchase in WAKE. Every time. No cap.

This article explains exactly how it works, what you earn, and how to turn referral rewards into compounding income.

How it works

You get a personal referral link inside the app. Share it wherever you want — social media, group chats, DMs, doesn't matter.

When someone clicks your link and buys WAKE, 15% of their purchase amount is credited to your balance in WAKE.

From there, you stake it — either for 6 or 12 months. After your lock period matures, you withdraw. That's the path: earn → stake → grow → withdraw.

That's it. No tiers, no levels, no minimum thresholds. One link, one rule: 15% of every purchase.

Real numbers: what 15% actually looks like

Let's walk through a concrete example.

Your friend buys $1,000 worth of WAKE. You receive $150 in WAKE on your balance.

You stake it at the 6-month lock (54.3% APY). After six months your referral reward alone has grown to roughly $231. Withdraw it, swap to USDC, done.

Go with 12 months instead (94.4% APY) — that $150 becomes $292! And that's from one friend making one purchase. Scale it.

Why it compounds

Here's where referrals get interesting. The WAKE you earn from referrals isn't stuck in some separate rewards wallet. It lands on your main balance — same as if you bought it yourself.

Which means you can stake it immediately. And staking rewards can be compounded. So the loop looks like this:

Friend buys → you get 15% in WAKE → you stake it → rewards accrue → you compound rewards → your stake grows → more rewards.

Every new referral purchase adds fuel. Every compound cycle accelerates it.

This isn't a theoretical model. The staking contract, the emission vault, and the referral crediting all run on-chain. You can verify every step.

What the fees look like

This was a common question early on — so let's clear it up.

The fees are small. When your referral buys WAKE, the purchase fee is 0.5%. When you swap WAKE to USDC after your stake matures, the project fee is 0.5% in WAKE. Max transaction cost: $0.00.

So on a $1,000 referral purchase, your $150 reward loses essentially nothing to fees. The yield is real.

How to get started

Open the app. Find your referral link. Share it.

There's no application process, no KYC gate for referring, no approval queue. If you have a WeWake account, you have a referral link.

The best time to share it is now — before listings, while the presale price is $0.0385 and the target listing price is $0.15. The earlier your referrals buy, the more upside for both of you.
