# 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.
