Who it's for

Built for the privacy-and-crypto corner of the internet.

The program rewards the people whose audience already cares about what they do, not what they buy.

Privacy journalists
Covering VPN shutdowns, exit-jurisdiction case studies, or surveillance-capable payment rails. The /r/<code> cookie lets you attribute without ever logging a reader email.
Crypto educators
Teaching wallet hygiene, IP-obfuscation when transacting, or "leave no on-chain + off-chain link" workflows. SpinGate is a vendor your audience can fund without ever touching a card.
VPN-review channels
YouTube, Twitch, Mirror — long-form Slack / build-log coverage. The recurring share makes the second-month audience follow-through as valuable as the first.
Newsletters with a web3 readership
Issue roundups, weekly digests, paid Substacks. One standalone URL in the header outperforms an inline ad — and the 30-day tail means renewals keep accruing.
Recurring commissions

Earn every time your audience connects.

First-month commission on every conversion, lower-rate recurring share on renewals. Super-Affiliate tier unlocks the highest split + featured placement.

Settling on testnet
Every commission math layer is wired end-to-end against Sepolia USDC. Same bps schedule, same payout cadence, same dashboard — just on testnet rails until the mainnet flip.

  • Same dashboard — clicks, conversions, accrued payouts.
Coming next

At the mainnet flip

No partner-side change required
When mainnet goes live, payouts settle on the live network in your chosen currency (BTC, ETH, USDC). Your referral code, your dashboard, and your earnings math carry over unchanged.
  • Same referral URL — /r/<code> still stamps the cookie + 302s.
  • Payouts switch from Sepolia USDC to live USDC (or BTC / ETH).
  • No resubmission, no new terms — approval rolls forward.
