earn 10% of every referee's $HELIX. — bootstrap-window only · already paid for in the contract · 4 weeks total · no cap on referrers.
01 · referee clicks your link
your wallet address rides in the URL as ?ref=0x…. site stores it in localStorage. their next HLP deposit passes it to the contract.
02 · they deposit during bootstrap
the contract emits 2× the base emissions during the 4-week bootstrap window. 10% of those emissions route to referrer[depositor] instead of address(0).
03 · vest unlocks 28d linear
both the referee and the referrer follow the same 28-day linear vest. you claim via claimReferralKickback() on the contract whenever you want.
04 · no cap per referrer
refer 1 person, refer 1000. kickback scales linearly with deposits. only the bootstrap window caps things — once the $1M cap fills or 28 days pass, the multiplier drops to 1×.
05 · pure onchain attribution
no off-chain attribution service, no tracking pixel. the referrer field is part of the hlpDeposit() calldata. impossible to spoof, impossible to censor.
06 · founders pre-locked
founder seed of $250k USDC is not eligible for the kickback (referrer = address(0)). prevents founders self-referring to capture emissions.
