[Temperature Check] -- B2B Affiliate Program Kickoff

Summary

To foster Idle protocol’s growth, and reduce the initial onboarding barriers for integrators and partners, we would like to propose a referral program for B2B partners.

Despite the fact there are some direct (attractive yields/rewards) and indirect (fewer maintenance costs and increased capital resiliency) benefits in integrating Idle protocol into third-party services, we observed that adding an affiliate program would enhance new integrations.

The goal of this proposal is to set up an initial off-chain mechanism powered by the Pilot League.

Details

During phase 1, the Pilot League committee would collect a list of integration partners and track the Partner Deposited Assets (PDA) along the time.

Profit-sharing is triggered when a withdrawal event happens on partner funds, allowing the protocol to claim the accrued fees. The Pilot League shares the profits in $IDLE tokens, at the conversion rate available on the market.

Program Parameters:

• Program Budget: 50,000 $IDLE
• Program Manager: Pilot League committee
• Minimum threshold to execute the fee sharing: 500 $IDLE
• Vesting period: linear unlock in 3 months
