# Detailed Referral Program Flow

To achieve a network effect without speculative tokenomics, we use a fair referral program for DAO donations. Anyone can create a cross-chain referral code and earn commissions. In this model, the referrer receives a percentage, and the referral gains a discount.

* All referral codes are cross-chain, allowing the same code to be used for contract creation on every supported chain.
* To minimize gas expenses, codes are initially created on Arbitrum and then transferred to other supported chains.
* Each referral code has an owner (admin) and a payment address where commissions are automatically transferred.

**Referral Code Creation**

* Switch to Arbitrum to create a referral code.
* Submit a transaction specifying all chains where you want the code created. You can provide your own code or have one generated automatically.
* Wait for bridge confirmations.
* Switch to each target chain and confirm code creation. Once confirmed, you can share the referral link and earn commissions.

**Referral Code Cross-Chain Update**

* If you did not initially send your referral code to a particular chain, you can do so anytime - for example, when a new chain is supported.
* Switch to Arbitrum.
* Submit a transaction to send the code to the target chain.
* Wait for bridge confirmations, switch to the target network, and submit a transaction to confirm.

**DAO Donation with Referral Code**

* When a referral uses a link containing a referral code, it is automatically stored in their browser.
* When creating a contract with a one-time DAO donation, the referral code is recorded in their personal CryptoLegacy contract. The contract automatically retrieves the payment address and sends ETH to it.
* All future timeout updates will automatically send commissions to the current payment address.
* If the referral makes a lifetime NFT DAO donation, the commission also goes directly to the payment address.

**Changing Owner and Payment Address**

* You can change the owner and payment address for your referral code on each chain at any time. Payments always route through the permanent referral code.
* Submit a transaction on each chain where you want to update the owner or payment address.

**Custom Discount and Commission**

* The DAO can assign increased discounts and commission rates to specific referral codes on each chain.
* The DAO typically does this for valuable community members.

**Default Discount and Commission Management**

* The DAO, along with its multisig, manages default discounts and commission rates.
