Partner Referral Program
A referral rebate system that rewards partners, trading interfaces, and integrators who build on Flash by earning rebates from trading activity generated through their builder code.
Overview
When users trade through a partner's front-end, trading interface, or integration, the partner earns a percentage rebate on the trading fees generated. This creates a sustainable incentive for developers and businesses to build on Flash and drive volume to the protocol.
Builder codes are assigned to partner accounts and tracked on-chain via the token_stake account. Each trade executed through a partner's builder code automatically calculates and attributes the appropriate rebate.
How It Works
Every trade on Flash generates fees. When a trade is routed through a partner's builder code, the protocol calculates a rebate based on the partner's tier and credits it accordingly. The rebate rate is stored directly in the partner's token_stake account, ensuring consistent and efficient processing at execution time.
The system handles all order types including market, limit, and trigger orders. Anti-spoofing protections are built in to ensure rebates are only attributed to the legitimate referring partner.
Rebate Tiers
Partners earn rebates based on their staking level. Higher tiers require staking more FAF tokens in the token_stake account.
1
20,000 FAF
2.5%
2
40,000 FAF
3%
3
100,000 FAF
4%
4
200,000 FAF
5.5%
5

Builder code accounts receive a higher rebate rate than standard referral tiers, reflecting the value that integrated partners bring to the protocol.
Referral rewards cap for large stakers. If a referred user stakes above 40,000 FAF, referral rewards for that user will be disabled.
24-Hour Rebate Limits
To maintain sustainability and prevent abuse, rebates are subject to a rolling 24-hour cap. These limits differ based on account type:
Standard Referral Accounts
1,000 USD
Builder Code Accounts
Custom (set per partner)
Once the cap is reached within a 24-hour window, additional trades will still execute normally but will not generate further rebate credits until the window resets.
Rebate Distribution
Rebates are recorded in the partner's token_stake account as claimable_rebate_usd on every qualifying transaction. Every 12 hours, accrued rebates are settled from the pool into a separate rebate_vault. Partners can then collect their rebates from the vault at any time.
Rebates are denominated in USD.

FAQ
Who is eligible for the Partner Referral Program? Any partner app, trading interface, or integrator building on Flash. To receive a builder code, reach out to the Flash team directly.
How is my rebate tier determined? Standard referral tiers are based on the amount of FAF staked in your token_stake account. Builder code accounts are assigned a custom tier by the Flash team.
Can I upgrade my tier? Yes — stake more FAF to move up through the standard tiers. To apply for a builder code with a custom rate, contact the Flash team.
When do I receive my rebates? Rebates accrue per trade and are settled into the rebate_vault every 12 hours. You can collect from the vault at any time after settlement.
