Referrals live in the Telegram bot, under the 💰 Referrals button on the main menu. They are not in the web terminal and not in the extension. You earn from two levels: a share of the fees paid by people who join through your link, and a smaller share from the people they invite.
Your rates are shown on the Referrals screen and are read live from your account when you open it. They depend on your tier, so this page does not quote numbers — the screen is the source of truth.

​
Claiming your code

Before you can invite anyone you need a code. Tap + Claim Referral Code and reply with the one you want.
  • 4 to 20 characters, letters and numbers only.
  • It has to be unused — if someone already has it, you are told and can pick another.
Your code is permanent. Once claimed it cannot be changed or released, so choose one you are happy to hand out for good.
With a code claimed, the Referrals screen shows your invite link:
Opening it starts the bot with your code attached. When that person registers, they are attributed to you. Attribution happens only at registration. Someone who already has a Ballista account cannot be credited to you by clicking your link later, and nobody can be moved from one referrer to another. This cuts both ways: send your link to people before they sign up, not after.

​
What the screen shows

Tiers move with your own lifetime trading volume, so the rates you see can go up as you trade. Partner accounts are marked as such on the same line.
