# AFI Points & Referral Program

AFI Points reward users for being active participants in the AFI ecosystem — whether by minting `afiUSD`, referring others, or joining through a referral.

**Season 1 is LIVE.** 

AFI is currently in **Private Beta**, and you can participate only if you have an **access code**.

#### **Access Codes**

* You can **enter AFI only through an existing access code**.
* Once you join, **you’ll receive your own access code** to share with others.
* **Deposits and afiUSD minting are available exclusively to access code holders.**

  > *Without an access code, you won’t be able to deposit or mint during the Private Beta.*

You can currently earn points through:

* **Minting afiUSD**
* **Referral Program**

Each activity has a base points payout, with additional referral points and referral boosts applied where applicable.

#### Base AFI Points <a href="#base-afi-points" id="base-afi-points"></a>

Deposit your stablecoins and mint `afiUSD` to earn base AFI Points.

* **Base Multiplier:** `1×`
* Points accrue based on the **amount of `afiUSD` minted** and the **duration** it remains active on-chain.
* These are your **core points**, independent of referrals.

#### Referral Points <a href="#referral-points" id="referral-points"></a>

Invite friends and earn **bonus points** whenever they participate.

* You earn **10% of the total base points** your referrals generate.
* These are **additional points** — your referral keeps all of their own base points.
* Referral codes are **permanent** once applied.
* The more active your referred users, the more points you accumulate over time.

#### Referral Boost <a href="#referral-boost" id="referral-boost"></a>

If you join AFI using someone’s referral code, you receive a **5% boost** on all **base points** you earn.

This bonus applies automatically and remains valid throughout the season.

#### Example <a href="#example" id="example"></a>

Let’s say:

* **User A:** earns 100 base points
* **User B:** earns 200 base points
* **User C:** earns 300 base points

Referral chain: A → B → C

#### **Points Breakdown**

| User | Base AFI Points | Referral Points     | Referral Boost      |
| ---- | --------------- | ------------------- | ------------------- |
| A    | 100             | 10% of B’s 200 = 20 | -                   |
| B    | 200             | 10% of C’s 300 = 30 | 5% of own base = 10 |
| C    | 300             | -                   | 5% of own base = 15 |

Each component — Base, Referral, and Boost — is tracked separately in the dashboard.
