# Giving Back to the Community & Affiliate Program
Wherls isn’t just building a platform — it’s cultivating a movement. A key part of our mission is ensuring that value generated within the ecosystem is shared with the people who help it grow. Through reward programs, affiliate incentives, and long-term community support, Wherls is committed to decentralizing both opportunity and ownership.
🤝 **Giving Back to the Community**
* **Creator Royalties:**
Artists and content creators earn passive royalties every time their NFTs are resold on the marketplace.
* **Airdrops & Incentives:**
Active users, stakers, and early adopters receive airdrops and bonus rewards during key growth milestones.
* **Community Grants (Planned):**
Wherls will allocate a portion of treasury funds to support new creators, developers, and educators who want to build on or promote the platform.
* **Participation-Based Rewards:**
Token holders who actively vote, promote, or contribute to the community may earn special NFT badges, token bonuses, or governance rights.
📈 **Affiliate & Referral Program**
To fuel organic growth and community-led expansion, Wherls offers a robust affiliate program with two layers of rewards designed to benefit both everyday users and committed promoters. Whether you're referring friends or bringing in large contributors, you’ll earn in $WHERLS tokens based on transparent, on-chain tracking.
🎯 **1. Multi-Level Referral Rewards**
Wherls users earn passive income by inviting others to join the platform. The multi-level referral program provides decreasing but persistent rewards across five levels:
| |
|---|
| Referral Level | Reward |
| Direct (Level 1) | 10% |
| Level 2 | 5% |
| Level 3 | 3% |
| Level 4 | 2% |
| Level 5 | 1% |
**Example:**\
If your direct invite earns $100 from staking, you receive $10. If their invite earns $100, you earn $5, and so on down five levels.
💰 **2. Direct Referral Bonus (Volume-Based Rewards)**
For affiliates who drive larger transaction volumes or onboarding packages (e.g. NFT bulk purchases or staking commitments), Wherls offers bonus-based milestone rewards:
| |
|---|
| Referred Volume | Bonus Reward |
| Direct $5,000 | $500 |
| Next $10,000 | $1,000 |
| Next $25,000 | $2,500 |
| Next $50,000 | $5,000 |
| Next $100,000 | $10,000 |
Note: These bonuses are cumulative — the more volume your direct referrals generate, the more you earn.
Through these programs, Wherls ensures that its community isn’t just using the platform — they’re profiting from its growth and becoming co-owners of its success.
