ArtStar Referral and Cashback Reward Program

​

1. Design Philosophy

Core Challenge ArtStar platform is dedicated to building a high-quality art trading and investment community. Our core challenge is: how to cost-effectively and precisely attract high-net-worth collectors, excellent creators, and active investors while continuously stimulating user activity and trading enthusiasm on the platform? Target User Profiles We divide users into five main tiers to meet the needs of different groups:

• S-Tier (Art Giants / Institutional Cornerstones): Internationally renowned artists, top galleries, etc., providing quality art assets and brand endorsement for the platform.
• A-Tier (Veteran Collectors / Elite Creators): High-net-worth individuals, seasoned buyers, the stable trading force of the platform.
• B-Tier (Active Supporters): High-frequency trading and interaction participants, growing creators, injecting continuous vitality into the community.
• C-Tier (Potential Users / Regular Buyers): Small-amount, low-frequency purchasers with some purchasing power and influence.
• D-Tier (New Registrants / Observers): Newly registered users who haven’t traded yet, representing future growth potential.

Complete Business Cycle & Interaction Flow

• Get Exclusive Invitation Code: Any user on the platform (regardless of status) can generate their own exclusive invitation link with one click.
• Share & Register: Share the link to WeChat friends, groups, or social platforms; friends can easily register by clicking the link and selecting their identity (investor, collector, or creator).
• Verification & Auto Points: When a friend completes identity verification (KYC), the system immediately and automatically awards “Referral Points” to the referrer.
• Trading & Cash Commission: When a friend purchases art on the platform, the referrer not only upgrades their tier but also receives real USDT cashback.
• Upgrade & Privileges: As points accumulate, the referrer’s membership tier continuously upgrades, unlocking more platform privileges and higher earning multipliers, forming a perfect cycle: “Invite → Earn → Upgrade → Re-invite”.

Design Principles

• Architecture Compatibility: The scheme must seamlessly integrate with Supabase database and prepare for future Web3 identity (wallet address) binding.
• MVP (Minimum Viable Product) Oriented: Start with the simplest, most controllable approach in the early stage, avoiding over-engineering.
• Manual Review Priority: Strictly following meeting requirements, before automation tools mature, all critical decisions (especially high-net-worth user ratings) are made manually by the “Art Committee”.
• Single-Level Referral Model: Only reward direct referrers, firmly avoiding multi-level distribution (pyramid scheme) risks, simplifying logic.
• Dual-Track System: Clearly distinguish between Creator (artists/collectors) and Collector (investor users) tracks through labels.
• Precision Acquisition & Value Binding: Use high-incentive mechanisms to quickly attract high-value users like S/A-Tier; leverage multi-dimensional points system to encourage B/C/D-Tier participation and promotion, forming a positive cycle of “Contribution → Reward → Loyalty”.
• Smooth Evolution: Design a clear evolution path from manual review to data-driven, and then to on-chain reputation systems.

​

2. Core Architecture: User Pyramid Model

Users are divided into five tiers based on “Asset Value Contribution” (points/trading volume) and “Community Influence” (as tiering standards):

​

3. Points System & Earn Mechanism

The platform adopts the concept of “Total Points (ArtPoints, AP)”, where 1 AP = 0.05 USD. Total Points = Basic Task Points + Referral Points + Trading Points + Reputation Points. Points are non-transferable (Off-chain), stored in Supabase database. They determine the user’s pyramid tier and can be redeemed for benefits or token airdrops in specific activities.

​

1. Basic Task Points

• Wallet Registration: +100 AP (one-time only)
• Complete KYC Verification: +200 AP (one-time only, requires approval)

​

2. Referral Points (New User Rewards)

After a referred friend successfully completes identity verification (KYC), basic points are awarded based on the friend’s initial tier rating. Basic Rewards (by referred user tier):

• Refer S-Tier user: +10,000 AP (Art Committee review)
• Refer A-Tier user: +5,000 AP (Art Committee review)
• Refer B-Tier user: +2,000 AP (Art Committee review)
• Refer C-Tier user: +500 AP (Art Committee review)
• Refer D-Tier user: +100 AP (must complete KYC)

Referrer Bonus Rewards (by referrer tier): To incentivize active promotion from users at all levels, the referrer’s own tier provides additional bonus multiplier for referral points. (For example: A B-Tier user refers an A-Tier user, earning base 5,000 AP, plus B-Tier’s 15% bonus, totaling 5,750 AP)

• D-Tier referrer: +30% (1.3x)
• C-Tier referrer: +20% (1.2x)
• B-Tier referrer: +15% (1.15x)
• A-Tier referrer: +10% (1.1x)
• S-Tier referrer: No bonus

​

3. Trading Points (Consumption Mining)

When you purchase art on the platform, the system automatically awards points based on the transaction amount (USD). Higher tiers get larger point multipliers, encouraging users to upgrade:

​

4. Reputation Points

Users who actively participate in community interactions and make special contributions to the platform will receive additional points as rewards from the “Art Committee”.

​

4. USDT Cashback (Commission) Mechanism

Referring friends not only earns points but also direct USDT cash commissions. The platform uses a permanent lifetime tracking mechanism - one invitation, lifetime binding! Whether your friend buys today or next year, you earn commission on their purchases.

​

1. Tiered Cashback Rates

Based on the referrer’s historical cumulative referred trading volume (total spending by all referred users on the platform), a tiered cashback rate is implemented, perfectly aligning with the user pyramid model:

​

2. KOL / Gold Referral Ambassador Special Bonus

If the referrer is a platform-signed promotion ambassador (KOL) or a “Gold Referral Ambassador” certified by the “Art Committee”, they enjoy an additional +0.5% to +1.0% exclusive bonus on top of the standard commission rate! (For example: A mid-level referrer with 2.0% rate, if they have KOL status, can enjoy 2.5% to 3.0% cashback)

​

5. Business Process & Risk Control Rules

​

1. Referral Relationship Binding

• Unique Identifier: Each user generates a unique invitation code (Invite Code) and invitation link.
• Binding Logic: New users register through the link or manually enter the invitation code; once bound, it cannot be changed.
• Whitelist Mechanism: The “Art Committee” can authorize “Gold Referral Ambassadors” whose referred high-net-worth users enjoy fast-track verification.

​

2. Review & Anti-Fraud Process

• Regular users (Collector): Registered as D-Tier, system automatically awards basic points.
• Creators/High-net-worth users (Creator):
  • Status is Pending after registration.
  • “Art Committee” manually reviews background information and asset proof.
  • After approval, system/admin updates user tier (S/A/B/C), and one-time awards corresponding high referral points to the referrer.
• Anti-fraud mechanism: USDT cashback can only be withdrawn/settled after art transactions are fully confirmed and refund period (if applicable) has passed; if malicious order falsification or fake KYC is discovered, the platform reserves the right to freeze points and cashback accounts.
