Badge Earning Mechanism

SOULBOUND's earning mechanism is based on referral rewards, which are known as branching rewards. Branching reward means that you receive a percentage of the payment (depending on your SOULBOUND BADGE trait) whenever a new user uses your referral code to buy SOULBOUND BADGE.

This creates a hierarchy that motivates participants to recruit additional members to ascend trait levels and maximize potential referral payouts. At launch, the baseline referral reward percentage starts at 10% and can scale up to 14% for the highest badge trait levels.

Ongoing BADGE purchases and trading also confer staking rewards and protocol fee revenues shared among BADGE holders per the level of contribution. Together these incentives promote sustainable community growth and value accretion aligned with broad token holder interests.
