# Referral Program The DeSpeed Referral Program is designed to reward users for sharing the benefits of DeSpeed with their friends and family. By participating, you can earn Bytes that contribute to your overall rewards in the DeSpeed ecosystem. ### **How the Referral Program Works** **1. Earn Referral Bytes**: When you refer a friend to DeSpeed, you can earn 10% of their total Bytes as long as they are an active referral. {% hint style="info" %} **What is an Active Referral?** An active referral is a user who has completed at least 15 internet speed tests using the DeSpeed Validator. Since the DeSpeed Validator conducts 4 tests daily, this means your referral must remain active for at least 4 days to become eligible. {% endhint %} 1. **Referral Milestone Bonuses**: As you refer more friends, you can achieve referral milestones that grant additional bonus Bytes: * **10 Active Referrals**: Earn an extra 5,000 bonus Bytes. * **20 Active Referrals**: Earn an extra 10,000 bonus Bytes. * **30 Active Referrals**: Earn an extra 20,000 bonus Bytes. * **50 Active Referrals**: Earn an extra 40,000 bonus Bytes. * **99+ Active Referrals**: Earn an extra 75,000 bonus Bytes. Sharing your referral link is relatively easy! Simply access your unique referral link from the DeSpeed validator extension or your account dashboard. You can share it through social media, forums or email to invite others and earn more rewards. ### **Fair Referral Rules** To maintain a healthy and fair ecosystem, DeSpeed enforces specific referral rules. Engaging in fraudulent activities or attempting to manipulate the referral system may result in penalties, including removal from the rewards program. We encourage all participants to follow the rules and contribute positively to the DeSpeed community. --- # Agent Instructions: 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.
