Referral Links
Customers do not have referral links as they are user only accounts but they can opt-in to receive their unique referral links by scrolling to the bottom of the ‘My Account’ page and clicking the ‘Become an Affiliate’ button at the bottom of the page and following the prompts.
Affiliates have two (2) referral links inside the DApp. One to share with customers and another to share with affiliates. The customer referral links directs the user to the customer website that covers everything they need to know about MetFi DAO minus the MetFier Rewards program. Clicking the affiliate referral link directs the users to the affiliate website that contains additional information about the MetFier Rewards program.
Each affilliate wallet that purchases an NFT receives a username that is applied to both of their referral links. Your username is the same for both links and it connects your account to other NFTs in the matrix and creates a primary relationship and position in the matrices.
When someone clicks either of your referral links and fully loads the MetFi DApp for the first time your username is stored on their device’s browser. If they purchase an NFT in the same browser, your username is the referer, they will be placed in your matrix and you receive instant BUSD rewards.
The referral links cannot be overwritten in the same device browser even after clicking another referral link at a later time. Doing so will default to the first referral link that was used to fully load the MetFi DApp making the first referral link they clicked the referer even if they terminate the first browsing session or clear cookies. After the user buys an NFT the referral link is cleared from the device and they will be able to use another referral link on the same device and browser.
You can change your username at any time, and as often as you like, however doing so also changes your referral link. If you have previously shared your referral link before changing it, the old referral link will no longer work and you will no longer be the referer if a person clicks it to enter the MetFi DApp.
Changing usernames has no impact on any members that are already in your matrix. As stated above, once an NFT is placed in a matrix it is forever locked in that matrix and will remain permanently connected to your NFT, no matter how many times a username is changed.
Two other methods of binding an NFT to your NFT and your matrix are to gift an NFT (Gifting NFTs) using the internal gifting feature in the DApp, and the other is for an NFT purchaser to type your username if prompted to enter one while completing their first NFT purchase.
