STON.fi launches in-bot referral links — turn attention into real swap revenue
STON.fi now lets every user create a personal referral link inside its Telegram bot. When people use that link and swap on the DEX, the referrer receives a share of the actual swap fees (on-chain activity → fees → you). This is a genuine, transparent revenue path for creators, community builders, and everyday traders.
What changed — the product shift
STON.fi has added a simple in-bot flow so anyone can generate a unique referral link in seconds (open the official bot and run /reflink). That link tags on-chain swap activity to your wallet/address so your earnings are computed from real swap fees instead of opaque points or off-chain promises.
How the referral revenue actually works (short, technical)
Referral links map to a wallet/address and any swaps routed through those links earn the referrer a configured percentage of swap fees.
Fee mechanics are configurable and handled on-chain: STON.fi’s docs describe fee rates and the way fees are accumulated into vaults (one vault per token × referral pair) before distribution. This design keeps accounting transparent and auditable.
Why this matters (for creators, communities, and regular users)
Real economic alignment. Payments come from swap fees — actual protocol revenue — not from a marketing budget or off-chain credits. That means the better the trading activity your audience generates, the more you earn.
Low friction & scale. Generating and sharing a link is instant via the bot; distribution fits any channel (posts, threads, groups, DMs).
Built for longevity. Because the model links to on-chain volume and uses vaults/contract logic, rewards scale with real usage rather than being a short promo.
Security & transparency
STON.fi is a non-custodial AMM deployed on the TON network; smart contracts and protocol mechanics are public and auditable, so referral fee flows and vault accounting can be inspected on-chain. That means creators aren’t relying on closed spreadsheets — they can trace activity back to the source.
How to get started (practical steps)
Open the STON.fi Telegram bot: use the official bot channel or go to the bot and type /reflink to generate your personal link instantly.
Share your link in posts, groups, or direct messages — anywhere your audience is.
Track activity and read the protocol guide to understand fee calculations, vaults, and distribution timing.
Programs & extras to consider
If you’re building a community or have consistent content reach, look into STON.fi’s ambassador programs and campaigns — there are formal "Stonbassadors" incentives that layer additional rewards and support alongside the referral scheme. These programs make it easier to monetize community growth in a structured way.
Practical tips for creators
Make your onboarding short: include a one-line instruction and your referral link so friends can swap immediately.
Explain why swapping via your link matters (their trades help you earn, and swap mechanics are unchanged for the user).
Track which channels drive the most swaps and double down on formats that convert (tutorials, pinned posts, walkthroughs).
