# BW Referral System

Bloackwise uses an on-chain referral system built with `veBW`. Users will be able to generate a referral to share with others in order to earn a 5 to 12% share of the fees each time a trade is made using the referral link. The rate depends on the tier reached by that referrer — the more volume you generate, the higher the tier. Users of the referral link will benefit too — they earn lottery tickets (tranches based on volume) that will give them access to a weekly lottery.

* *Referees*: Users who are trading through a referral link can accumulate tickets that will entitle them weekly participation in a lottery.
* *Referrers*: Anyone who creates a referral link on Blockwise has the ability to become a referrer. In order to receive a share of the fees generated by each of their swaps, the referrers can then share the link with users.

The referral system is open for everyone — users and protocols.
