# Referral Token Rewards

In addition to vault-based rewards and deposit bonuses, SmartVaults.ai includes a token-based referral incentive system.

This system distributes additional SVT tokens to participants who contribute to platform growth through verified referrals.

***

### **Referral Bonus Mechanism**

When a user deposits into a vault and receives bonus tokens:

* A **separate referral bonus pool** is created
* This pool is calculated as:

**Referral Pool = User Bonus Tokens × 50%**

Example:

* User Bonus: 1,000 SVT
* Referral Pool: 500 SVT

***

### **Multi-Level Distribution**

The referral bonus pool is distributed across **7 levels**:

* Level 1 → 40%
* Level 2 → 20%
* Level 3 → 15%
* Level 4 → 10%
* Level 5 → 7%
* Level 6 → 5%
* Level 7 → 3%

All distributions follow predefined allocation rules.

***

### **Vesting Structure**

Referral tokens follow the same vesting model as user bonus tokens:

* Duration: **12 months (365 days)**
* Release: **Daily linear unlock**
* Claim: Available at any time
* Unclaimed tokens remain accumulated

***

### **Eligibility Conditions**

Referral rewards are only generated under specific conditions:

* A valid referral must be set **before deposit**
* Applies only to the **first qualifying deposit**
* Each user can trigger referral rewards once at activation

***

### **Unassigned Rewards**

If a referral level is not occupied:

* The corresponding token allocation is **not distributed**
* Tokens are returned to the **treasury pool**

This prevents uncontrolled token emission.

***

### **System Purpose**

The referral token system is designed to:

* Support organic platform growth
* Incentivize network expansion
* Align user onboarding with token distribution

The mechanism is tied to real participation rather than passive reward generation.

***

### **Controlled Distribution**

All referral rewards operate within defined limits:

* Derived from the main airdrop allocation
* Subject to vesting constraints
* No unlimited or uncontrolled issuance

This ensures a structured and predictable emission model.
