Commission Rate & Model
The Bitfinex Affiliate Program operates on a Revenue Share (RevShare) model. Affiliates earn a percentage of the trading and margin funding fees generated by their referrals, extending up to three levels within their referral network. Specifically, affiliates receive 18% from direct referrals (Level 1), 6% from Level 2 referrals, and 2% from Level 3 referrals.
Additionally, the program offers commission multipliers based on certain criteria, such as verification status and holdings of UNUS SED LEO tokens. For instance, holding over 500 USDt LEO equivalent can apply a 1.1x multiplier to the commission rate.
