# Marinade Referral Program

## **How It Works**

### **1. Get a Referral Code**

Request approval from the Marinade team to receive a **unique referral link**.

### **2. Share Your Link**

Share your link with your audience. When users stake SOL through it, they join the program automatically.

### **3. Activate the Referral**

Users must **connect their wallet** and **stake SOL with Marinade Native**. Wallets are **permanently tied** to one referral only.

### **4. Earn Rewards**

Both partners and stakers receive **0.125% extra APY** (12.5 bps) on staked SOL. No cap on how much SOL can be staked.

### **5. Rewards Distribution**

Rewards are **automatically paid out** every epoch and can be **tracked in Marinade’s UI**.

***

## **Rewards Source**

The extra APY comes from **Marinade’s existing fees**, ensuring sustainable incentives for partners and users while maintaining decentralization.

***

## **Become a Partner**

To get a referral link, **reach out on** [**X**](https://x.com/marinadefinance).

Developers can integrate Marinade’s referral system using our **SDK** - visit our [**GitHub documentation**](https://github.com/marinade-finance/marinade-ts-sdk) for details.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.marinade.finance/partnerships/marinade-referral-program.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
