Every trader on Speculate is a recruiter. Bring people onto the platform, and you get paid in XP — not just for the sign-up, but for every dollar of competition activity they generate afterward. The moment you join Speculate, you’re issued a unique 8-character referral code. Turn it into a shareable link by adding it to the app URL:
https://app.speculate.trade/?ref=YOURCODE
Anyone who signs up through that link joins your referral network permanently. From there, their competition activity is what drives your XP — not just the click.
Share your link straight to X with one tap, right from the app. No copy-pasting, no switching apps to post it yourself.

How XP is earned

You don’t earn XP for the sign-up alone — you earn it for what your referrals do. Specifically, competition buy-in volume: every entry fee a referred user pays into a competition adds to your cumulative referred volume. As that cumulative total climbs, you cross fixed XP milestones.

Referral XP milestones

Cumulative referred volumeXP awarded
$10+10 XP
$100+50 XP
$1,000+250 XP
$10,000+1,000 XP
Each milestone is awarded once as you cross it, so by $10,000 of referred volume you’ve banked 1,310 XP in total (10 + 50 + 250 + 1,000).

The bigger your network trades, the bigger your own XP total gets — indefinitely.

Tracking your network

Your referral network — who’s in it, and how much XP you’ve earned from them — is visible in the app at all times. No separate dashboard, no manual reporting: it updates as your referrals compete.
Referrals pay out in XP, not a discount on your own fees or a cut of anyone’s winnings. Growing your network is a path up the XP ladder, not a separate payout mechanism.
