# How it works

To create a referral code:

* Go to <https://trade.lif3.com/referrals>
* Click on the Affiliates tab
* Create a referral code using any combination of letters, numbers and underscores

Note that referral codes are case sensitive.

Once you've created your code, click on the copy icon next to the code to get your referral link, it should look something like this: **<https://trade.lif3.com/?ref=\\><your code>**.

You can share this link on any platform, e.g. Twitter, Telegram.

When a user clicks on your link, your referral code would be stored with the user's account.

When the user makes a trade they would receive a discount and you would earn rebates from their trading fees.

You will continue to earn rebates even if the user uses another device later on as the referral code is stored on the contract the first time the user makes a trade.

The discounts and rebates will be distributed as FTM every Wednesday, your rebates history will be viewable on [**https://trade.lif3.com/referrals**](https://trade.lif3.com/referrals)

Note that the referral program is subject to change.

## 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.lif3.com/lif3-trade/referrals/how-it-works.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.
