Refer more. Earn more. Referral boosts and bonuses are now live!
Today, we're excited to announce our new referral program, designed to align incentives and create powerful flywheels for both referrers and their networks. The new design introduces two new concepts: "Bonuses" and "Boosts", creating a win-win system that rewards everyone involved in growing Ostium.
Over the past few months, Ostium has experienced explosive growth, with trading volumes reaching new heights and our user base expanding globally. This success has been driven in large part by word-of-mouth referrals from our most passionate traders. We're now formalizing and supercharging this organic growth with a program that rewards you even more.
Bonuses: Rewards for Building Your Network
For referrers, our tiered bonus system creates a compelling incentive to grow your network. As a referrer, you'll earn "Bonuses", a percentage of the scores earned by traders you bring to Ostium. The more volume your referrals generate, the higher your tier climbs, and the larger your bonus percentage becomes.
There are five referrer tiers, each unlocking progressively larger rewards:
Your tier is determined by the all-time cumulative trading volume generated by your referrals, creating a permanent recognition of your contribution to Ostium. As you climb tiers, your new bonus rate applies to all future scores earned by your referees, creating a powerful incentive to continue growing your network.
Boosts: Enhanced Rewards for Being Referred
For those who join Ostium through a referral link, our program offers "Boosts", enhancements to your own personal trading scores. Your boost percentage is determined by your referrer's tier, creating an alignment of interests between referrers and their network.
As your referrer climbs tiers by expanding their network, your boost percentage increases accordingly. This creates a virtuous cycle where everyone benefits from network growth; referrers earn more through bonuses, and referees earn more through increased boosts.
Both boosts and bonuses are forward-looking, applying only to new scores earned after reaching a new tier.

Building Flywheels of Growth
This referral structure creates powerful network effects. Referrers are incentivized to bring active traders who will generate volume. Referees benefit from having well-connected referrers who continually grow their networks. And Ostium benefits from the organic, community-driven growth that comes from aligned incentives.
Getting Started
To start earning referral bonuses, simply share your unique referral link with your network. You'll start at Tier 1 immediately and can track your progress toward higher tiers in the referral widget accessible on the top right corner of the app.
For those joining through a referral, your boost will be applied automatically based on your referrer's current tier, which you can also track on the same referrals widget.
