# 🐧 Referral System

Invite frens, grow the colony, earn more $GOTCHI.

The Colony program referral system is designed to reward both the inviter and the invited, because surviving the icy wilds is better with company.

#### &#x20;How It Works

1. **Unlocking Your Referral Code**\
   Once you adopt your first penguin, the **Referral Tab** becomes available in your dashboard. A unique referral code is automatically generated for you.
2. **Sharing Your Code**\
   Send your code to frens. When they mint their first penguin using your referral, the system links you together.

**Inviter Reward**:\
You’ll earn **5% of all $GOTCHI claims** made by anyone who joined using your code. This is passive income stack your referrals and grow your share.

**Invitee Bonus**:\
Anyone who joins with a referral code receives a **5% bonus** on their **first reward claim**.

#### 🧊 Notes

* Referral earnings will be sent once every two weeks.
* There is no limit to how many people you can refer.
* All rewards are paid in $GOTCHI, directly to your wallet.
