Referral Programme

Earn sats for every
friend you invite

Share your link, and when the people you invite are active on SatsEarn, you earn a sat commission on the platform's base reward for their activity. Paid tiers earn a higher rate β€” and Founders earn the most.

Sharing earns you sats on sats

Share your link with anyone β€” no Bitcoin experience needed.When people join and get active, you earn commission sats on their activity, on top of what you stack yourself.On paid tiers it keeps paying, with no cap.

A Bit of History

It started with a faucet

πŸ’§
June 2010
The Genesis Faucet
  • Developer Gavin Andresen launched the first Bitcoin faucet.
  • Solve a captcha, paste an address β†’ receive 5 BTC free.
~5Β’ per BTC then
πŸ•
May 2010
Pizza Day
  • Laszlo Hanyecz bought two pizzas for 10,000 BTC.
  • Worth about $41 at the time; it proved Bitcoin could buy real goods.
First commercial BTC use
🌐
2011–2013
The Faucet Boom
  • Hundreds of faucets appeared as Bitcoin spread worldwide.
  • Per-visit payouts shrank from whole coins to tiny fractions.
100s of faucets

2014–2017
Scaling Broke It
  • Network congestion pushed on-chain fees to $5–$50+ per send.
  • Sending someone a few sats cost more than the sats were worth.
Fees > payouts
⚑
2018
Lightning Arrives
  • The Lightning Network brought instant, near-free Bitcoin payments.
  • Sending 1 sat becomes practical again.
<1 sat fees

2026
The SatsEarn Era
  • The same spirit β€” earn Bitcoin without buying β€” rebuilt Lightning-native.
  • Earn real sats via tasks, quizzes, streaks & referrals.

Why Lightning Matters

What killed faucets β€” and what fixed them

Early faucets broke because on-chain fees dwarfed the payouts. Lightning is what makes earning real sats practical again β€” and it's what SatsEarn pays you over.

Transaction fee
On-chain: $1 – $50+
⚑ Lightning: < $0.01

⚑ Lightning: < 1 second

⚑ Lightning: 1 satoshi

⚑ Lightning: Fully viable

You're early β€” and you don't have to buy in

The faucet generation didn't need to be rich or technical. They just showed up. SatsEarn brings that back β€” stack real sats by being active.

The 10-Year Challenge

Stack consistently, for a decade

Not a payout forecast β€” a consistency challenge. The faucet generation's edge was just showing up. See how sats add up if you keep stacking.

Your consistency, in sats

Set a monthly stacking pace and watch it compound through habit over ten years. This counts sats accumulated only β€” it makes no claim about what those sats will be worth in future.

How It Works

Three simple steps

No cost to start, no purchase required. Invite people, they get active, you earn.

1

Share your link

Every account gets a unique referral link. Share it on social, in your content, or with anyone curious about earning Bitcoin β€” no prior knowledge needed.

2

They join & earn

When someone signs up through your link and starts completing tasks, quizzes, and other earning methods, they're an active referral.

3

You earn commission

You earn a percentage of the platform's base reward for your referrals' commissionable activity β€” paid in sats, straight to your balance.

The Mechanics

How sharing actually works

A bit more detail on the link, attribution, and when commission lands.

One unique link

Your dashboard gives you a single referral link. There's nothing to configure β€” it's ready the moment you have an account.

Automatic attribution

When someone signs up through your link, they're permanently linked to you as their referrer. No codes to enter, no follow-up needed.

Earn on activity, not signups

Commission accrues as your referrals complete commissionable actions β€” not just for joining. Active referrals = ongoing sats.

Then it matures, like all sats

Each commission entry verifies for 24 hours, locks for a 15-day maturity period, then becomes available to withdraw β€” the same flow as everything you earn.

How the sats reach you

Every commissionable action your referrals complete pays you a fixed share of the admin base reward β€” automatically, over Lightning. The more active your network, the more you stack.

Maya is on the Crown tier (20%)

She shares her link with friends β€” most had never owned Bitcoin before

1
10 friends sign up through Maya's link and start using SatsEarn (this is the Γ—10).
2
Each friend completes about 30 commissionable actions a month (this is the Γ—30).
3
At a 10-sat base reward, Maya earns her 20% on every action = 2 sats per action. So: 2 sats Γ— 30 actions Γ— 10 friends.
Maya's estimated monthly commission
600 sats

Illustration using the calculator's logic β€” actual numbers depend on the real base reward and how active her referrals stay. If Maya upgrades to Founders (30%), the same network earns her 900 sats/month.

Free vs Paid

Why paid tiers earn more

Everyone can refer. Paid tiers simply earn a higher rate with no ceiling.

Free tiers Β· Basic–Gold
5%
  • Flat 5% commission on the base reward
  • Cumulative lifetime caps that rise as you auto-upgrade: Basic 20 referrals / 2,000 sats, up to Gold 100 / 10,000 sats
  • Once you hit the cap, commission stops
  • Free forever β€” a solid way to start
Paid tiers Β· Platinum–Founders
10–30%
  • 2Γ— to 6Γ— the free-tier rate (10% Platinum β†’ 30% Founders)
  • Uncapped β€” unlimited referrals, no earnings ceiling
  • Commission keeps paying as long as referrals stay active
  • Founders also earn from the Rotation on unattributed signups

Founders get extra: the Rotation

Founders don't just earn the top 30% rate. New users who join SatsEarn without a referrer are shared out evenly across the founding cohort as crew members β€” so Founders earn commission on people the platform brings in, not only those they invite themselves.

FAQ

Common referral questions

The things people ask most before sharing their link.

Every account gets one unique referral link in your dashboard. When someone opens it and creates an account, they're permanently attributed to you. Share the link and any signups through it are tracked to you automatically β€” nothing to set up.
Commission is a percentage of the admin-set base reward for each task your referral completes β€” set by your tier, not theirs. Example at a 10-sat base reward: Platinum (10%) earns 1 sat per task; Founders (30%) earns 3 sats. You only earn when your referral is genuinely active, not just for signing up.
It follows the same flow as all earned sats: a 24-hour verification window (Pending), then a 15-day maturity lock (Maturing) with its own countdown, then it becomes Available to withdraw. Each entry matures independently, so commission unlocks on a rolling basis.
Free tiers have cumulative lifetime caps (Basic 20 referrals / 2,000 sats, up to Gold 100 referrals / 10,000 sats). All paid tiers β€” Platinum through Founders β€” are uncapped: unlimited referrals, no earnings ceiling.
No. Your link doesn't expire and a referral stays attributed to you for as long as they use SatsEarn. On a paid tier you keep earning on their activity indefinitely; on a free tier, until you hit your lifetime cap.
You can refer genuine people β€” real friends and family with their own accounts and activity. Self-referral is not allowed: extra accounts for yourself, bots, or fake accounts are treated as abuse and result in forfeiture of affected balances and possible account action.
