Affiliate program

Every Sigmate user, free or paid, is an affiliate by default. Share your link, earn USDC on Solana when referrals subscribe. 50% of every referral's first full-month plan, 20% of every subscription after that, for life. The $7 trial does not pay a commission and does not count as the first payment.

How you earn#

When someone clicks your affiliate link, signs in to Sigmate for the first time, and later subscribes to a full-month plan (Starter $39, Pro $59, or Alpha $99), you earn a commission on that payment.

First full-month purchase: 50%. Your referral's first non-trial subscription pays you half. A $99 Alpha subscription earns you $49.50.
Every renewal and upgrade: 20%. After that first payment, you keep earning 20% on every future full-month payment from that referral, forever, as long as they keep paying.

The $7 trial is excluded

The 7-day Starter trial is a conversion tool, not a commission source. It pays no commission and does not count as the first payment. If your referral does the trial and then upgrades to Starter, Pro, or Alpha, that full-month subscription still triggers the 50% first-purchase rate.

No caps, no time limit

Lifetime commissions mean lifetime. If someone you referred three years ago renews Alpha in year four, you still get 20%. Sigmate does not expire the attribution.

Your affiliate link#

The affiliate page in your dashboard shows your full link, for example:

https://sigmate.xyz/?ref=your-slug

Custom slug

Every user starts with a random 8-character slug. You can rename it once you find one you like. Constraints:

Length. 3 to 32 characters.
Allowed characters. Lowercase letters, digits, dash, and underscore. No spaces, no dots, no uppercase.
Unique. Must not be taken by another user. If the slug you want is taken, the dashboard returns a conflict and asks for another.

You can rename your slug as many times as you want. Renaming does not invalidate attribution on visitors who previously clicked the old slug, but new clicks only count against the current slug.

How attribution works#

The flow is designed to be simple and fair.

A visitor lands on any page with ?ref=your-slug. The browser stores the slug locally.
When that visitor connects their wallet and signs the Sigmate sign-in message for the first time, Sigmate attaches the attribution. One attribution per user, permanent.
Every paid subscription from that user, forever, credits a commission to your affiliate account.

What does not count

Self-referrals (your own wallet signing in with your own slug) are rejected. Users who signed in before clicking your link cannot be retroactively attributed: Sigmate only attaches attribution on a user's first sign-in.

Unlocking and claiming payouts#

Commissions go through four states:

Locked. The commission was earned but is still inside the 7-day holding window. Locked commissions cannot be claimed yet.
Claimable. The 7-day window has passed. You can click Claim to request a payout at any time.
In review. You clicked Claim. The Sigmate team is preparing the USDC payout. Typical settlement time: under 48 hours.
Paid. USDC has been sent on-chain to your wallet. The commission row shows the transaction signature, which you can verify on any Solana explorer.

The 7-day holding period

Commissions unlock 7 days after they are earned. This window exists to protect the program against chargebacks and rapid abuse patterns. Payments on Sigmate are USDC on Solana and are not reversible, so the hold is shorter than on most traditional affiliate platforms.

Claim button

The Claim button on the affiliate dashboard bundles every currently-claimable commission into a single claim. After you click, those commissions flip to In review. We send USDC to the wallet you signed in with unless you set a separate payout wallet in the future.

How to actually earn#

The affiliate program is designed for a few patterns in particular:

Trading communities. Drop your link in Telegram or Discord groups where people already care about Solana signals. Even a short pinned message can convert.
Content creators. Tweet threads, YouTube reviews, Substack posts, Reddit threads. Lifetime 20% means every subscriber compounds.
Landing pages. Build a simple review or comparison page for Solana signal services. Link your affiliate URL from there. SEO works especially well for lifetime commission programs.
Friends first. Paying users have the highest conversion on referrals from people they trust. Start with traders you know.

Rules#

No paid ads bidding on the "sigmate" brand name. You can run paid ads elsewhere.
No fake reviews or misleading claims. Be honest about what the product does.
No spam. Unsolicited DMs, comment bombing, or mass-tagging strangers is grounds for account suspension.
No self-referring with alt wallets. The team can see on-chain funding patterns and will revoke commissions tied to transparent self-dealing.
Sigmate can adjust rates or terminate the program with notice. Active commissions already earned at a given rate stay at that rate.
