Rewards & Affiliation
There are two ways to get paid on Superhero, and they work differently. One rewards you for
posting about Superhero on X; the other pays you a share of every buy made by people you
invited, four levels deep. They share a page in the app (/trends/invite).
Two programs, one page
| Superhero Rewards Program | Trading Affiliate Program | |
|---|---|---|
| What you do | Link your X account, post about Superhero | Create funded invite links, get people trading |
| Who pays | Superhero's backend, from a scan of your X posts | The bonding curve: 0.5% of every buy in your downline |
| Where the money comes from | A program budget | Protocol fees, split on-chain |
| Payout | Sent automatically to your connected wallet | You call withdraw() on the AffiliationTreasury contract |
| Gate | X account with at least 100 followers | 4 direct invitees who have each spent at least 10 AE |
| Rate | One rewarded post per UTC day, at your follower tier's rate | Uncapped per period |
| Claim window | None | The current 30-day payout period and the previous one |
| Can be switched off | Yes, at any time | No, it is contract logic |
The Superhero Rewards Program is an off-chain growth campaign, run at Superhero's discretion.
The Trading Affiliate Program is protocol mechanics. Every community-token buy carries a
1% spread; half goes to the community DAO and half to affiliation. That affiliation half is
split across up to four levels of inviters above the buyer. Rewards accumulate in 30-day
periods, and withdraw() pays the current and previous period, so withdraw monthly.
The affiliation split at a glance
Buyer pays AE for a community token
├── 99.0% → bonding curve reserve (redeemable by sellers)
├── 0.5% → community DAO treasury
└── 0.5% → affiliation system
├── 0.300% → level 1 (direct inviter)
├── 0.125% → level 2
├── 0.050% → level 3
└── 0.025% → level 4
(a level with no inviter is not credited)The 0.5% is added on top of the curve price rather than carved out of it, so a buy whose curve price is 1,000 AE costs the buyer 1,005 AE.
