# Affiliate intro Celestium ecosystem offers a powerful affiliate system on the blockchain. As a decentralized protocol infrastructure governed by a Marshall Islands for-profit DAO LLC, recommendations are the primary engine for protocol growth. To support this, 49% of the total CELT token supply is allocated to a decentralized affiliate program designed to incentivize user acquisition and reward active liquidity providers. ## Protocol Gating & Membership The core principle remains: the protocol is a gated ecosystem where new members join via invitation. Your permanent identity within the protocol is a soulbound, non-transferable Pass NFT. To become an eligible inviter and start building your team, you must first acquire a Pass and provide native tokens as liquidity for independent game operators. The threshold to unlock invitation rights is a deposit of at least 100,000 native tokens into the Liquidity Pool. ## Onboarding Options **The key idea: no one can join Celestium without an invitation from an active user.** To become an eligible inviter, you must first hold a membership Pass and have deposited at least 100,000 native tokens into the primary Liquidity Pool. From there, you have two primary onboarding options: * **1. Public Onboarding:** New members mint their own soulbound Pass NFT by specifying your wallet address as their permanent Inviter and a valid Parent address during the self-minting process. * **2. Partner Onboarding:** Trusted platform partners with specific authorization can onboard new members directly via the allowlisted minting function, establishing an immutable referral relationship automatically. ## Direct Commissions (Betting & Staking) Affiliates earn direct commissions from every bet placed and every staking action taken by users they onboard. Commission rates are configured at the protocol level and are paid out automatically in CELT. ## Service Bonus & Sustainability A tree-based service bonus rewards affiliates for building active, sustainable teams rather than one-off signups. Daily limits ensure long-term sustainability of the program. ## Daily Claim Limits Claimable rewards are bounded by per-day caps to smooth emissions and protect the treasury. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
