# How It Works

The Alpha One Referral Program rewards you for bringing in new users who actively trade on the platform. Every time your referral places a trade, you earn a portion of the platform’s 1% trading fee — paid out automatically.

You can build a team, track your earnings, and move up through reward tiers based on your total trading volume.

#### How It Works

* Whenever someone registers using your referral link and places a trade, you earn a commission.
* Rewards are paid out in real time and are based on a two-level structure:
  * 1st Level: Direct invites (Direct Referrals)
  * 2nd Level: Users invited by your direct referrals (Indirect Referrals)

As your team generates more and more volume, your tier climbs up and your earnings increase.<br>
