Bitrune’s referral program rewards users who bring new traders to the platform. Referrers earn BITRUNE tokens proportional to their referees’ swap volume.

​
How It Works

Referrer shares invite code → Referee registers & trades → Referrer earns BITRUNE
  1. Every user receives a unique 6-character invite code at registration (e.g. A3K9F2).
  2. Share your invite code or link (https://bitrune.org?ref=A3K9F2) with friends.
  3. When your referee executes swaps, you earn BITRUNE proportional to their trade volume.
  4. Claim accumulated BITRUNE rewards via MuSig2 cooperative signing.

​
Invite Code

Each user is assigned a unique invite code at registration. The code uses uppercase alphanumeric characters (A-Z, 2-9), excluding easily confused characters (I, O, 0, 1). Your invite code and referral link are displayed on the Portfolio page.

​
Binding a Referrer

There are two ways to bind a referrer:

Via invite link

Visit Bitrune with a ?ref=CODE parameter in the URL. The code is captured automatically and applied when the user registers.

Manual entry

Already registered without a referrer? Enter an invite code manually on the Portfolio page. Binding is one-time and immutable — once set, it cannot be changed.
You cannot refer yourself. Attempting to enter your own invite code will be rejected.

​
Earning Rewards

When a referred user executes a swap, a trade rebate is calculated: 
rebate_amount = btc_volume × rebate_rate
  • btc_volume: The BTC value of the swap (in satoshis).
  • rebate_rate: BITRUNE per BTC, configured by the protocol (e.g. rebate_bitrune_per_btc).
  • The rebate is credited to the referrer, not the trader.
  • If the trader has no referrer, the BITRUNE remains in the protocol’s rebate reserve.

​
Claiming BITRUNE

Accumulated BITRUNE rewards can be claimed at any time via the Portfolio page.
