Referrals are one of the four contribution sources in ORIGIN, the first season of Bitbase Points. Trading, holdings and consistency reflect a user's own participation, while referrals reflect the new participants a user brings to the community. This article explains how referral contribution is calculated, why only direct referrals count, and where to follow it.
How referral contribution is calculated
Referrers receive an additional 25% of the contribution of users they invite directly. Invited users keep their own contribution in full.
For example, if an invited user's contribution for a day is 100, their referrer receives an additional 25 in contribution for that day, while the invited user's contribution remains 100. Each counts toward its own share of that day's contribution, and that day's points are distributed accordingly.
Referral contribution is calculated daily. Each day an invited user takes part, their referrer receives the corresponding referral contribution for that day.
Direct referrals only
The referral bonus applies only to users a referrer invites directly and does not accumulate across tiers. When an invited user invites someone else, only that user's direct referrer receives the bonus.
This design reduces the incentive to build artificial referral networks. The bonus reflects the new participants a user brings in directly, not chains of referrals built up tier by tier.
How invited users take part
Once registered on Bitbase, invited users join ORIGIN automatically, like every other user. Their trading, holdings and consistency count toward their own contribution and are not reduced by accepting an invitation.
Invited users have access to the same products as all users. Bitbase lists 590+ crypto assets, and its products include:
Spot: 400+ spot trading pairs.
Futures: 760+ futures trading pairs, including USDT-margined and USDC-margined perpetual contracts, settled in USDT and USDC respectively.
TradFi: 220+ traditional-market instruments across US stocks, precious metals and ETFs.
Earn: Simple Earn in flexible and fixed terms; assets placed in Earn count toward holdings contribution.
Inviting and following referrals
Users can find their referral code or link in the Bitbase App, on the website or on the points page at bitbase.com/points, and share it with friends.
Referral contribution is shown on bitbase.com/points: Points Earned Yesterday shows the previous day's referral activity, and Points Records shows each day's distribution details.
Handling referral abuse
Bitbase monitors referral activity for abnormal patterns. Where fake referrals, wash trading, manipulation or other violations are confirmed, Bitbase may deduct the related points, adjust distribution results, or remove the accounts involved from ORIGIN.
Referral contribution is designed so that users who bring genuine participants to the community receive the corresponding contribution.
FAQ
Does the referrer's bonus reduce the invited user's contribution?
No. The 25% is added on top, and the invited user's own contribution counts in full.
Do indirect referrals earn a bonus?
No. The bonus applies only to direct referrals and does not accumulate across tiers.
When does referral contribution count?
Like other contribution, it is calculated daily, and each day's points are credited after 00:00 UTC the next day.
