# WOM Referral Program Phase 1
**Where belief becomes capital — and connections pay.**
You already tell founders where to launch. Now you get paid for being right.
***
## What this is
WOM turns narrative into data and **pays creators for impact**. The **Referral Program (Phase 1)** pays the people who *spark* that impact — the connectors, deal brokers, and community leads who convince founders to run **WOM Campaigns**.
* **Who earns:** anyone with a WOM account and wallet-linked referral link.
* **What triggers:** a referred **founder/project lead** launches and funds a WOM Campaign.
* **What you earn:** **10% of WOM’s fee** from that campaign, paid on-chain after finalization.
* **Why it matters:** it weaponizes word-of-mouth - the thing crypto already runs on - and makes it measurable.
> Turn word-of-mouth into a revenue stream.
>
> Bring projects and creators to WOM and share the upside.

## Fee table
| Tier | Budget | WOM Fee | Your 10% |
| --------------------------- | ------: | -----------------: | ----------: |
| **Tier 1 — Startup Push** | $5,000 | **15% → $750** | **$75** |
| **Tier 2 — Growth Sprint** | $10,000 | **13.5% → $1,350** | **$135** |
| **Tier 3 — Ecosystem Play** | $15,000 | **12.5% → $1,875** | **$187.50** |
**When paid:** after the campaign ends and WOM’s fee is settled on-chain (typically at finalization).

## Payout examples
**Examples:**
* 🟣 You onboard one small project → you make **$270**.
* 🔵 You close 3 decent ones → **$570+** easy.
* 🟢 You bring in a few bigger ones → **$1K+** month, without touching code or charts.
> Every conversation you already have with a founder could be your next paycheck.
* **Tier 2 campaign** ($10,000 budget → $1,350 WOM fee) → **you earn $135**.
* **Three Tier 1s + one Tier 3** in a month → $75 + $75 + $75 + $187.50 = **$412.50**.
* **Quarterly bonus :** power referrers (>5 campaigns/quarter) may receive boosted % during promos.
#### 
## Terms & fair play
* We pay only for **qualified referrals**: the project lead must launch & fund a campaign **through your link**.
* **Self-referrals** (same wallet/org cluster) or fraud attempts are denied.
* WOM reserves the right to **deny or claw back** rewards for bots, farms, plagiarism, or brigading.
* Payouts are processed **post-finalization** to reduce abuse and align with impact.
#### 
## Roadmap — Phase 2 (heads-up)
We’ll add a **Creator Referral Pool**: a separate 10% of WOM fee revenue distributed to users who onboard *active creators/participants* (those who actually join campaigns). This completes the network-effect loop while keeping payouts performance-based.
> **WOM is permissionless attention infrastructure. If you can spark narrative, we’ll make sure you’re compensated for it.**
#### 
## FAQ
Do I need to hold 50k WOM to be a referrer?
No. The 50k WOM gate is for *creators who post*. Referrers only need a WOM account and wallet-linked invite.
When do I get paid?
After the referred campaign finalizes and WOM’s fee settles on-chain.
Can multiple people claim the same founder?
The reward goes to the **first valid referral link** used by the founder when they create the campaign.
Can I see what I’m owed?
Yes — your dashboard shows per-campaign status and a running total. On-chain payouts will match those numbers.
