Referral System
Invite people to join the QuikDB network and track verified referrals. The current programme may apply a referral percentage to eligible rewards, but registration, verification and a displayed balance do not guarantee a payout. Review the current programme terms before sharing a financial claim.
How It Works
- Get your referral code - Generated automatically when you register
- Share with friends - Give them your 8-character code
- They apply it - During or after registration
- Verification is recorded - The programme applies the current referral rules after the device qualifies
CLI Commands
Generate Your Referral Code
Your code is created automatically during registration, but you can view or regenerate it:
quikdb referral generate
View Your Referral Stats

Apply Someone's Referral Code
Two ways to use a referral code:
During registration:
quikdb device register --referral-code KPYKTZ0U
After registration:
quikdb referral apply KPYKTZ0U
Replace KPYKTZ0U with the actual referral code.

Common Questions
Can I change my referral code?
No, referral codes are permanent and tied to your wallet address.
What if I forgot to use a referral code?
You can apply one after registration using quikdb referral apply CODE.
How many people can use my code?
Unlimited. Your code works for as many referrals as you can get.
When do I get my bonus?
The recorded referral percentage updates after verification. Any payment remains subject to the current programme terms.
Can I refer myself?
No, you cannot use your own referral code.
Do referrals expire?
No, once verified, referral relationships and bonuses are permanent.
Troubleshooting
"User already referred" error
You can only apply one referral code per wallet. Once set, it cannot be changed.
"Invalid referral code format"
Codes must be exactly 8 uppercase alphanumeric characters. Check for typos.
"Referral code not active"
The code may be invalid or from an inactive user. Verify with the person who gave you the code.
"User not registered"
You must complete quikdb device register before applying a referral code.
Best Practices
