Catapult's referral program is a separate income layer that runs parallel to creator package returns. While your packages earn from trading fees, your referral network earns you commission on every package purchase your referred users make — including upgrades and renewals.
How referrals work
Every Catapult account gets a unique referral link. When someone signs up through your link and purchases a creator package, you earn a commission. The commission is paid immediately when the package is purchased — it doesn't depend on trading performance or session outcomes. It's a direct cut of the package sale.
Commission structure
Referral commissions are tiered based on your own package level. Higher-tier package holders earn higher referral commission rates. This creates an incentive structure where upgrading your own package also increases your referral income — a compounding effect for high-volume referrers.
Commissions are paid in the platform's settlement currency and can be withdrawn at any time with no lock-up period.
Package referrals vs trader referrals
Catapult's referral system focuses specifically on package referrals — you earn when someone you referred purchases a creator package. This is separate from any trading-activity-based referral mechanics. The package referral commissions are higher in absolute dollar terms because package prices are higher than individual trade fees.
Building a referral income stream
The most effective referral strategy combines audience (any following on Twitter, Telegram, or YouTube) with education. Referrals convert better when the person you're referring understands what creator packages are and why the ROI model is sustainable. Content that explains GBM, Hashlock, and the fee pool mechanics consistently outperforms generic "join and earn" promotions.
Tracking your referrals
The Catapult dashboard shows every referral, their package tier, and your earned commission in real time. You can see exactly who purchased, what tier they chose, and how much you've earned per referral. Commissions aggregate alongside your package earnings in the same withdrawal flow — one dashboard, one withdrawal process.
