Partner rewards · policy v1
These rules describe how Apiary records attribution and testnet rewards. They are designed to keep each credit tied to a verifiable settlement and each payout tied to its signed wallet owner.
01
The last valid referral link or X-Apiary-Referral header captured before a wallet's first settled Apiary purchase is eligible. The relationship locks on that first settlement and cannot be reassigned. Existing buyers cannot be attributed retroactively. Self-referrals are rejected.
02
An active referrer earns the exact referral allocation proven by an eligible FeeRouter settlement. The current contract allocation is 20% of Apiary's 2.5% protocol fee, equal to 0.5% of eligible settled volume. A planned increase to 40% of that fee, equal to 1% of eligible settled volume, is pending governance activation and is not yet an active reward rate. It will apply only to eligible settlements after activation; earlier settlements and rewards retain their original rates and are not repriced. Seller proceeds are not reduced beyond the existing protocol fee. Direct-settlement products, including current Husher and bundle paths, can establish attribution but do not mint a reward.
03
Each credit remains pending for 14 days. Apiary may freeze a relationship or append a reversing ledger entry for refunds, duplicate settlements, abuse, sanctions risk, manipulated traffic, or other fraud. Credits are never silently edited; adjustments and operator decisions remain in the audit history.
04
At least 10.00 aUSD must be available. A request atomically reserves approved credits and can only pay the wallet that signed the session. Operators review the request, send one exact token transfer, and the server independently verifies its chain, asset, sender, destination, amount, and successful receipt before marking it paid.
05
Apiary currently settles on Robinhood Chain Testnet using the faucet-mintable aUSD test token. Test tokens have no cash value. Dashboard amounts and withdrawals are testnet accounting until Apiary separately announces a production network and updated terms.
Updated September 27, 2026; the existing program remains effective from September 22, 2026. The planned 1% rate is not active until governance execution and settlement verification are complete. Economic parameters are snapshotted on every reward; if on-chain governance and server policy differ, the settlement remains recorded but no reward is issued until it is reconciled.
