# referrals · InstaClaw docs

> apply to be an ambassador, share your link, and every friend who signs up through it gets 25% off their first month while you earn $10 each time one of them becomes a paying customer.

the best way anyone finds out about an agent that actually runs is from someone whose agent actually runs. so we pay for that. this page is how the referral program works, in full, including the parts that involve a person on our side.

## how do i join?

open instaclaw.io/ambassador from your dashboard and apply. the form asks for a wallet address on Base, a few sentences about who you would share this with, and any social handles you want us to know about. applications are read by a person, so approval is not instant; once you are approved, the same page turns into your referral dashboard.

## what does my friend get?

25% off their first month. when someone signs up through your link and chooses a plan, the discount is applied at checkout automatically; they do not enter a code. it cannot be combined with a promo code on the same checkout, and it applies to the first month only.

## what do i get?

$10 for every referral who becomes a paying customer. it is counted the moment their first payment goes through, once per person, and it shows up on your dashboard the same day.

## what is my link?

`instaclaw.io/signup?ref=` followed by your code. the dashboard shows it with a copy button. share it however you like; the code is what ties the signup to you.

## what does the dashboard show?

four numbers: people who signed up through your link, how many of them are paying, what you have earned that has not been paid out yet, and what you have earned in total.

## how do payouts work?

earnings accrue as pending. a person on our side pays them out and marks them paid, and the date shows on your dashboard when that happens. we ask for a wallet address on Base when you apply so that earnings have somewhere to go. payouts are not instant and this page does not promise a schedule; if one is ever set, it will be written here.

## what this page does not promise

a payout schedule, a cap on how many people you can refer, or that applications are approved. if you are not approved, the page tells you, and you can ask us why at help@instaclaw.io.
