Badges, Tribes, and rewards
The GitHub sponsor badge
Holders of at least 10,000 tokens are a token's sponsors. The sponsor badge is a live image for your repo's README that shows them.
Setup is one tap. The app opens a pull request against your repo and merges it for you; once the badge is on your README, your token page shows Badge live. The Markdown one-liner is also available in the app for manual setup.
The image is rendered from live holder data on every view and links back to your token page on tribe.run.
Tribes: token chat
Tokens with chat enabled have a Tribe, a chat for their holders. Hold at least 10,000 tokens (0.001% of supply) and you are in. Membership is automatic, with no invites or caps. The creator is always a member. Sending messages requires a connected GitHub or X account, and the creator can ban members.
The same 10,000-token bar drives chat membership and sponsor status on the badge. Chat lives in the mobile app.
Referrals and invites
This section describes referrals created by Tribe invite codes. External clients that send the public onchain swap use the separate permissionless integration referral, which is single-level and does not use the invite tree or its expiry.
Tribe 2.0 is invite-only. Invite codes are single-use, and you earn more by trading and by growing qualified volume on tokens you launch.
| Milestone | Invites |
|---|---|
| Trade 1 SOL | 1 invite based on lifetime trading volume |
| Trade 10 SOL | 2 more invites |
| 20 SOL qualified token volume | 1 more invite |
| 40 SOL qualified token volume | 2 more invites |
"Qualified token volume" is trading on your token by people outside your invite chain: not you, not people you invited or their invitees, and not the chain of people who invited you. Together, these milestones can unlock up to 6 invite codes.
Earned invites currently unlock 72 hours after you sign up; milestones you hit before then are delivered automatically when the cooldown ends.
Used invites come back. At the start of each week, Monday 00:00 UTC, if you traded at least 0.5 SOL during the previous week, your invites are topped back up to everything your milestones have earned. Accounts still in the 72-hour cooldown are not refilled; their invites arrive when the cooldown ends.
The invite system is new, and the milestones, amounts, and refill rules will likely change as we tune it.
When someone signs up with your code they become one of your direct referrals. The people they invite are your 2nd referrals, and theirs are your 3rd.
Referred traders get a discount on every trade. You earn a share of the fees from everyone in your referral tree; your cut comes out of the protocol share of their trades, after the discount.
| Relationship | Reward |
|---|---|
| Direct referrals | 30% on every trade they make |
| 2nd referrals | 3% on their trades |
| 3rd referrals | 2% on their trades |
| Launch bonus | 2,500,000 tokens of every token a direct referral launches |
Everything pays out automatically, in SOL or tokens, straight to your wallet. There is nothing to claim. For each person you refer, your rewards and their discount run for 180 days from the day they sign up.
Wallets and accounts
Sign in with email, Google, or Apple. Privy creates an embedded Solana wallet for your account, and the same wallet signs on mobile and web.
Deposit SOL to your address, withdraw SOL or tokens to any Solana address, and export your Solana private key at any time through Privy's secure export flow. The key is never visible to the app.
New accounts are created in the iOS and Android app with an invite code. The web app is for existing accounts: trade, manage your portfolio, launch tokens, and track your rewards.
