# Affiliate Terms

## Inviter Threshold

To qualify as an inviter, an address must:

* Hold a Celestium Pass NFT, and
* Have deposited a minimum of **100,000 CELT** into the primary Liquidity Pool.

Both conditions must hold at the time the invitee mints their Pass for the inviter relationship to be recorded.

## Bonus Rates

Two direct bonus rates apply at the protocol level:

* **Direct Staking — 7%** of all CELT deposited by your invitees into the primary Liquidity Pool.
* **Direct Betting — 0.5%** of the platform edge from every bet placed by your invitees.

## Service Bonus Limits

Service bonus claims are rate-limited per UTC day. The daily cap is the lower of:

* **10%** of your current LP principal, or
* the global maximum of **12,000 CELT**.

A zero LP principal yields a zero daily limit. Unclaimed daily allowance does not roll over to the following day.

## Monotony Guard

Service bonus balances recorded against your Pass can only increase. The contract enforces this rule and reverts on any update that would reduce a recorded balance.

## Atomic Execution

Direct bonus accruals are calculated and credited at the exact moment of the invitee's deposit or bet. There is no batched settlement window — accrual and attribution happen in the same transaction as the underlying action.

## Soulbound Status

Bonus accounting is anchored to the Pass NFT, which is non-transferable and non-burnable. Earned bonuses follow the Pass for the lifetime of the protocol.

> **V1 Legacy Terms:** balances accrued under the V1 program — both matching bonuses and direct bonuses — remain claimable from the V1 Affiliate Fund contract under the original V1 caps and rules. They are not migrated into V2 accounting and must be claimed on the legacy interface.

## Main Terms of Affiliate Member Lifecycle

The diagram below shows how a new wallet progresses from invitation through to qualified inviter status.

1. To enter the program a new member needs an invitation (mini permit token) from an existing active affiliate member.
2. Once they hold a Pass and meet the qualification requirements, they become an **active affiliate member** — eligible to claim direct bonuses on their own invitees' activity.
3. With sustained liquidity provision and downline volume, an active affiliate qualifies into the **binary affiliate** tier, which unlocks the full service-bonus mechanics described in [Service Bonus (Tree-Based) & Daily Limits](/affiliate-manual/affiliate-explanation/service-bonus-and-daily-limits.md).

> **Affiliation of new members is not mandatory.** A Pass holder may participate in the protocol — providing liquidity, betting, voting — without ever inviting another member. Affiliate rewards apply only to those who choose to invite.
