4 min readDec 17, 2024

THORSwap is proud to present our very own Referral Program — a major initiative designed to reward users who help expand the THORSwap protocol. By sharing personalized referral links, influencers, community members, and key opinion leaders alike can all introduce newcomers to the world of decentralized, cross-chain swaps while earning commissions on a portion of swap fees.

Empowering the Community to Grow THORSwap

THORSwap’s Referral Program places the power of growth in the hands of the community. Whether you’re a long-time THORSwap power-user, a seasoned THORChain enthusiast, or just someone who believes in the future of decentralized finance, this new program allows you to:

Create Your Own Referral Link: Choose your existing THORName or register a new one to generate your unique referral link. This link serves as your gateway to a steady stream of commission rewards.
Earn Commission on Each Swap: Every new user who signs up through your link and completes a swap on THORSwap will earn you a share of the swap fees. Base referral rewards start at 10bps (0.1%) and scale up to a maximum of 20bps (0.2%) depending on vTHOR holdings.
Offer Rebate Discounts to Your Audience: Want to give back to your community or incentivize large traders? Simply reach out on the THORSwap discord to configure a portion of your affiliate commission as a rebate discount. This flexibility lets you tailor your referral offering, strengthening your brand and building trust with your audience.

How It Works:

Sign Up: Head over to app.thorswap.finance/referral to create your referral link.
Select or Register Your THORName: If you don’t have a THORName yet, register one at app.thorswap.finance/thorname.

⚠️Important: Affiliate THORNames MUST be 3–4 characters or shorter.

If you already own a compatible THORName, select it to use for referrals.

3. [OPTIONAL] Select your preferred asset: by default rewards are collected in $RUNE, if you wish to change to another asset — first assign the chain to your THORName.

For example, to collect fees in USDC (Ethereum) — first assign Ethereum address to your THORName, then select it and USDC:

⚠️NOTE: RUNE rewards are automatically collected with each swap and sent to your THORChain address. For preferred assets — rewards are sent to the chosen recipient address when the collected balance reaches 200x the gas fee required to send out.

4. Generate Your Referral Link: Once you’ve selected your THORName, your unique referral link will be generated. Share it via social media, newsletters, community forums, or any other platform you choose.

⚠️NOTE: to collect additional rewards, assign the Ethereum address to your referral THORName that holds the correct tier of $vTHOR, the additional basis point rewards will be automatically applied:

Time to spread the word — and let the cross-chain swaps commence!
