Affiliate & Referrals
Overview
Paradex offers two ways to earn: our standard Referral Program for all users, and the Token-Aligned Program (TAP) for high-volume affiliates.
Referral Program
Earn 10% commission on XP earned by your referred users each week.
Must refer at least $10k+ in volume to qualify. Self referrals will not be eligible for XP based commissions.
Token-Aligned Program (TAP)
TAP is a separate rewards program with a dedicated pool of 1.0% of the fully diluted token supply designed for Affiliates that are uniquely positioned to help grow Paradex’s user base and mindshare. This rewards pool is in addition to the standard XP program and TAP Affiliates earn from both programs simultaneously.
Potential Affiliates should apply via the TAP Application Form if they meet the following criteria:
- Have a large social media following or subscriber base (e.g. 5,000+ followers / subs)
- Run or are closely affiliated with one or more trading / alpha groups
- Are otherwise positioned to have an outsized impact on Paradex growth or mindshare
The TAP program officially starts on Wednesday October 8, 2025 and the first TAP Points distribution will be Wednesday October 22, 2025. Note that this program is not linked to Paradex XP season 2.
Referee Benefits
To reward your referees for using your referral code, Affiliates can select a points share rate between 10% (default minimum) and 100%. You can choose your rate on the affiliate dashboard that will be launched shortly.
