Who is the partner program for?
The program is for people and teams who can introduce a crypto project that is actively considering marketing support.
- Independent advisors: refer a founder or team whose needs fall within our work.
- Agencies and studios: make a direct introduction when a client needs a complementary Web3 marketing capability.
- Ecosystem contacts: connect a project team that has asked for relevant support.
A useful introduction starts with permission. Tell the project contact who we are and ask whether they are open to an introduction; do not send private contact details without consent. Include a short description of the project, its current priority, and the person who will make the decision. That gives us enough context to assess fit without asking you to sell a service on our behalf.
The partner relationship is distinct from a delivery contract. If the project wants to explore options, we discuss scope directly with its team. You can also review how we work and the areas covered by our marketing services before making a referral.
How are referrals attributed and commissions paid?
Attribution and payout terms are agreed in writing before you make the introduction. The written record removes ambiguity about who referred the project and what qualifies for commission.
| Confirm before the introduction | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Referral source and project contact | Identifies the introduction clearly |
| Eligible work and commission basis | Defines what the commission applies to |
| Payout method and timing | Sets expectations for settlement |
Our Referral Ledger records the agreed referral, the date of the handoff, and the relevant terms. When the project proceeds, we use that record to check the agreed commission basis and keep the partner informed about the referral status. We do not publish one rate or payout schedule for every partner; the applicable terms must be explicit before the referral is made.
The project team remains free to decide whether to proceed and what work to commission. Partner compensation is separate from the client's campaign scope and payment. For payment options and general billing information, see payment methods; for a broader overview of costs, see pricing.
What should you prepare before referring a project?
A concise, consent-based introduction is the best starting point. Share enough information to establish fit, then let the project team and our team handle the service discussion.
Use this handoff checklist:
- Permission: confirm that the contact is open to an introduction.
- Project context: give the project name, website or public profile, and relevant chain or product area if known.
- Need: describe the marketing priority in the contact's own terms, such as launch planning, visibility, or community engagement.
- Decision path: identify the person who can discuss scope and the preferred way to connect.
- Referral record: confirm the attribution and commission terms with us before sending the introduction.
Do not promise a specific campaign result or imply that a platform will approve a placement. Your role is to connect the right people and provide context, not to make delivery commitments for us. If the project is still comparing options, point them to the relevant service overview or invite them to contact us for a fit conversation. A referral is useful even when the first discussion ends with a clearer scope rather than an immediate campaign.
Where does a referral end and delivery begin?
A referral opens a conversation; it does not determine the client's final scope. We review the project fit, discuss its needs directly with the team, and document any delivery work separately.
The partner handoff can include:
- A warm introduction by email or another agreed channel.
- A brief context note that the contact has approved sharing.
- A follow-up confirming that the connection was received.
Platform approvals, listing reviews, placement availability, and display decisions remain with the relevant third party; we cannot promise those outcomes through a referral. Our commitment is limited to the agreed introduction and the written partner terms, not to a platform decision or a client's choice to purchase.
To start, send AEOTech a short note with the project, its marketing need, and confirmation that the contact welcomes an introduction. We will run an Intro Fit Check, confirm whether the referral is suitable, and put attribution and payout terms in writing before you connect the parties.
Frequently asked questions
How much commission does a partner receive?
There is no public standard commission rate on this page. We confirm the applicable rate or basis in writing for the referral before you make the introduction, along with which work qualifies and how attribution is recorded.
What counts as a referral?
A referral is a consent-based introduction to a project contact who is open to discussing relevant marketing support. Before the handoff, we record the source and agree the terms. A contact name sent without permission or context is not a useful introduction.
When are referral commissions paid?
Payout timing is set in the written partner terms for that referral; this page does not state a universal schedule. Confirm the timing and payout method before connecting the project so both sides know what to expect.
Can I refer a client without managing its campaign?
Yes. The partner role can be limited to making an introduction. If the client chooses to discuss work with us, we handle the scope conversation directly with its team; any partner commission remains governed by the referral terms agreed in writing.
