# How the affiliate program works

As a J Tools Partner you share one referral link. When someone arrives through it and later pays to use a tool, you earn a tier-based share of the platform fee on every successful paid transaction they make. Sign-up is wallet-only, approval is automatic, and everything is paid in SOL.

[**Join the affiliate program in the app →**](https://j.tools/en)

{% hint style="info" %}
Your commission is a share of the **platform fee** (the tool fee that J Tools charges), never the Solana network fee. That fee is the same one every paid tool charges, listed per tool on the [Fee schedule](/reference/fee-schedule.md). The size of your share depends on your tier. See [Commission tiers](/affiliate/commission-tiers.md) for the current rates.

## The flow at a glance

The program runs on three things: a link, a binding, and a balance.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Share your link

Connect your wallet once to register, then copy your unique referral link. It looks like `https://j.tools/?ref=YOURCODE`. Post it wherever your audience already is.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### A referred wallet gets bound to you

When someone opens your link, the `?ref=` code is stored in their browser for 7 days. The first time they connect a wallet, that wallet is bound to you as the referrer. One partner per wallet, and the first referrer wins. Details in How attribution works.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### You earn on their paid transactions

After that, every paid tool transaction from that wallet credits you a tier-based share of the platform fee. Earnings accrue in SOL and show up in your dashboard.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### You withdraw

Once your balance clears the minimum, request a payout. An admin reviews it and sends the SOL to your wallet. See [Withdrawals](/affiliate/withdrawals.md).
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## What you actually earn on

Commission is calculated from the platform fee of each successful paid transaction, not from the amount of SOL the user moves, and not from the network fee. The exact platform fee for each tool sits on the [Fee schedule](/reference/fee-schedule.md), and [Fees explained](/getting-started/fees-explained.md) covers how it differs from the Solana network fee. Your share scales with lifetime volume: the more platform-fee volume your referrals generate, the higher your tier and the larger your cut.

Tiers are lifetime and never reset. Crossing a threshold moves you up and you stay there. The exact percentages and thresholds are admin-configurable, so the live numbers come from the [Commission tiers](/affiliate/commission-tiers.md) page and your dashboard.

{% hint style="success" %}
Attribution is sticky. Once a wallet is bound to you it stays yours, so you keep earning on its paid transactions without the user needing to click your link again.
{% endhint %}

## A few things to know

<details>

<summary>How do I sign up?</summary>

Connect your wallet and sign a short message to prove you own it. No email, no password. Approval is automatic, so you can start sharing your link right away.

</details>

<details>

<summary>What counts as a referral?</summary>

A wallet that first connected to J Tools while your `?ref=` code was active in its browser. That wallet is bound to you as the first referrer, and only its paid transactions earn commission.

</details>

<details>

<summary>When and how do I get paid?</summary>

Payouts are in SOL, sent manually after an admin review. There is a minimum balance to withdraw, and you can have one request open at a time. Full rules live on the [Withdrawals](/affiliate/withdrawals.md) page.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Does J Tools touch my wallet?</summary>

No. You sign in with your wallet and we never ask for its key. Commissions are tracked against your wallet address and paid out to it.

</details>

{% hint style="success" %}
**J Tools is non-custodial.** We never hold your private keys and never ask for them. Every transaction is built in your browser and signed by your own wallet. If any page ever asks you to paste a private key, stop, close it, and let us know.
