Referrals & Rewards

Invite people to ClawUp and both of you earn ClawUp balance as they get started. Rewards aren’t paid at sign-up — they unlock as your invitee actually uses the product, so the program rewards real activation, not empty clicks.

​

How it works

1. Grab your link. Open the Referral page in your dashboard. You’ll see your personal link — it looks like https://clawup.org/?ref=<your-code>.
2. Share it. Send it to friends, post it, drop it in a community.
3. They sign up through your link. The referral is attributed to you the first time they land via your link (first-click wins, see Rules).
4. You both earn as they progress. Each milestone your invitee reaches pays a reward to them and to you.

​

Rewards

Rewards are credited as ClawUp balance (your USD balance) and unlock as your invitee progresses — creating their first Claw, becoming an active chat user, and making their first top-up. Every milestone pays both sides: your invitee earns a reward for reaching it, and so do you as the inviter. The first-top-up reward for the inviter is an affiliate-style commission — a percentage of whatever the new user tops up, capped at a fixed amount — so it grows with real money in rather than paying out a fixed amount regardless of deposit size. Invite ten friends who each create a Claw and you earn that reward ten times over.

​

What can I spend rewards on?

Referral rewards land in the same balance you use to pay for everything on ClawUp, so you can spend them on:

• Running your Claws — hourly compute + storage billing draws from your balance (see Billing).
• Token Credits — buy ClawUp-managed model usage straight from your balance, no API keys to juggle.

There’s nothing extra to claim — earned rewards are spendable immediately.

​

Track your earnings

The Referral page shows your link, how many people you’ve invited, where each one is in the funnel (signed up → created a Claw → activated → topped up), and your total earned rewards.

​

Rules

• First-click attribution. The first inviter whose link a new user arrives through gets the credit, and it can’t be changed afterward.
• No self-referral. You can’t refer yourself.
• The first-top-up inviter reward scales with your top-up. It’s a commission that grows with real money in, so there’s no way to farm a large reward from a tiny deposit.
• Real activity only. “First top-up” means money you actually added to your balance (card or crypto). Spending existing balance on Token Credits is an internal exchange, not a top-up.
