# Referral Rewards

#### Revenue Share.  For Life.

When you refer a new user to Arcex, you will earn **25% of all the trading fees** they generate. This isn't a temporary promotion; it's a lifetime partnership. For as long as your referred users trade on Arcex, you will continue to earn.

#### Why 25% on Arcex is Better than 50% elsewhere

Our rewards are different because our platform is different. Most trading platforms have high internal costs that eat into the fees you pay. This means they can only afford to offer a small percentage back to referrers.

**Arcex was built for efficiency.** Our ultra-low operational cost basis (0-1 bps) means that for every dollar in fees generated, almost the entire amount is available to be shared. This allows us to offer a generous 25% referral share while other platforms can only offer a true 10-15%.

Let's see how this translates into real earnings for you. Here’s a comparison based on **$1,000,000** in trading volume from your referrals:

| Platform         | Your Earnings | Avg. Taker Fee | Total Fees Generated |
| ---------------- | ------------- | -------------- | -------------------- |
| Typical Platform | **$60**       | 0.06%          | $800                 |
| Arcex            | **$160**      | 0.06%          | $800                 |

*With the same trading volume and the same fees, you earn **2.5x more** on Arcex simply because our fee cost basis allows us to give more back to you.*

#### How it works
