We released the first version of our affiliate program last week. You sent a lot of feedback, and this revision reflects it: the program now includes rebates, multi-tier affiliate fees and a partner program, and we are lowering the requirement for getting an affiliate code so you can start referring traders to BasedApp sooner.

Path to Billions

Crypto is entering a new phase. In the past month, the U.S. Senate passed the GENIUS Act, a landmark bill formally legitimizing US dollar-pegged stablecoins, and TradFi giants like Robinhood are moving in. The line between DeFi and TradFi is blurring fast. Yet crypto still lacks serious consumer apps built to compete with traditional finance rather than copy it. The focus has shifted from general-purpose chains to usable products that work out of the box and feel better than their TradFi equivalents. That’s where BasedApp comes in.

At BasedApp, we are building a bridge between crypto and everyday finance, letting users:

• Trade on Hyperliquid, a decentralised exchange protocol
• Spend instantly with a Visa debit card
• On-off ramp with bank accounts (Coming soon)
• Earn through a powerful affiliate network (the first of its kind in Crypto)

All in one app across web and mobile. We've built one of the best mobile apps on Hyperliquid, and we are not slowing down.

To grow, we’re not spending on ads or partnerships. Instead, anyone can share in BasedApp’s success through the BasedApp Affiliate Program. The multi-tier design is a core part of how we plan to reach the next billion users.

Our refreshed multi-tier Affiliate System

You earn affiliate fees on up to 3 degrees of connections. Anyone you refer can refer others, and you earn on that wider network too, tracked for the lifetime of every user you bring in. The diagram below shows how it works:

The tier distribution is as follows:

• T1: 60% of BasedApp fees
• T2: 9% of BasedApp fees -> Boostable to 12%
• T3: 3% of BasedApp fees -> Boostable to 4%

By using your affiliate code, your referred users will receive:

• 2,000 XP which counts towards future TGE
• 10% trading rebates on the fees. Distributions will be made on the 3rd day of each month, based on trading volumes calculated for the previous calendar month

How do I get my affiliate code?

Sign up on BasedApp and earn 5,000 XP (down from 50,000 XP last week), and a screen appears where you can create your affiliate code. Choose any name under 12 characters, with no special symbols.

BasedApp Partners

Based Partners adds extra rewards on top of the affiliate program. To get into the Based Partners program, either accumulate at least $5M in referred volume or be invited by the team.

Once you are on the program, you will be able to:

• Earn affiliate fees at no additional cost to your users
• A coupon applied to your affiliates to boost their earnings from their referrals. T2 referrals boosted from 9% to 12%. T3 referrals boosted from 3% to 4%.
• A BasedApp Gold card, worth $1500 USD, with $30,000 USD spending limit, no FX fees, and lounge access at airports.
• Access to discount codes for our BasedApp card program for your followers
• Partner token launchpools (on Hyperliquid) token allocations airdropped to your users (Coming soon)
• Access to team that will run trading competition for your following and sponsor the prize money

Why choose us?

We want to bring more people onto Hyperliquid and into crypto. The biggest centralised exchange has more than 100m users worldwide, and that is the scale we are working toward. We are building an app for buying, selling and trading crypto wherever you are, on the web or on the go, and a trading hub on Hyperliquid that takes people from their bank to trading crypto. Give us a try!

Key points:

• Capital efficiency: you keep your exposure to Hyperliquid. Trading on BasedApp earns Based XP on top of your Hyperliquid Points.
• Fees on BasedApp are comparable to a centralised exchange, and affiliates can earn more than they would in a centralised exchange's affiliate program. We share most of what the platform makes with affiliates.

Here, your extended network matters more than your immediate one. If your immediate network is strong, your extended network turns it into a flywheel.

Fair for all

We’ve been inspired by how Hyperliquid grew: through alignment rather than the extraction and zero-sum games common in this space. A collaborative PvE economy where the protocol, the users and the community grow together.

At BasedApp, we're carrying that spirit forward.

It’s our way of saying: if you help us grow, you deserve to share in the upside, not just today, but for as long as your network stays active. Distribution is our moat.

We are iterating fast, and we believe in taking the approach that makes the experience rewarding for all participants in the long run. Our DMs are always open, or drop by our Discord to chat with us!
