# Referral Program

<mark style="color:$info;">The OpenRWA Referral Feature is a powerful growth tool that turns your existing investors into brand ambassadors. By offering a "Give-Get" incentive, you can lower your acquisition costs while rewarding loyal community members.</mark>

<mark style="color:$info;">**How the Referral Loop Works:**</mark>

* <mark style="color:$info;">Admin creates a program with specific rewards.</mark>
* <mark style="color:$info;">Investor A (Referrer) shares their unique invite code.</mark>
* <mark style="color:$info;">Investor B (New User) signs up using the code and receives a discount coupon.</mark>
* <mark style="color:$info;">Investor B makes an investment using the coupon.</mark>
* <mark style="color:$info;">Investor A automatically receives a cashback reward based on a percentage of that transaction.</mark>
