# Referral Tiers

The more trading volume is realized, and the higher the referral tier, the more you earn.

Rewards are distributed depending on the Referral Tier of a Referral Link. The higher your Tier, the greater the rewards. To climb up Referral Tiers, certain conditions must be met.

#### **Example: Tier 2&#x20;*****Regular*****&#x20;Referral Link**&#x20;

During a week, the referrer collects $10,000 in fees incurred from traders using his referral link

* **Referrer income**: For $10,000 and a Tier 2 regular referral link, the referrer will receive $300 (3% rebate to the referrer)
* **Trader income**: If some referred trader incurred $500 in trading fees, they will receive $15 cashback in preLVL tokens (3% discount to the trader)

{% hint style="info" %}

* Rewards are paid **every week** in preLVL tokens.&#x20;
* You can freely **choose** on which chain to claim the rewards.
* The applicable price of preLVL will be calculated using a **7-day TWAP of LVL** (time-weighted average price) from various exchanges.
