DEGENERUS PROTOCOL
Mechanics
A referral can earn FLIP-denominated game credits, activity points, and DGNRS allocations. It is not a fixed percentage of a referral's ETH paid as cash: rates vary by purchase path, some rewards go to an upline, and ordinary FLIP commissions still pass through the daily coinflip.
A link supplies an on-chain code. The first valid selection is normally stored for later eligible purchases; invalid, blank, or self-referrals fall back to the vault. One narrow exception lets a vault-default referral be replaced while the presale is active.
For an ordinary eligible purchase, the contract converts the purchase basis into FLIP units and applies the rate below. That creates a nominal commission pot without removing ETH from the purchase's pool routing. A code owner may also set a 0–25% kickback, which is returned to the buyer from that pot.
| Purchase type | FLIP basis |
|---|---|
| Fresh ETH tickets | 25% at levels 0–3; 20% from level 4 onward |
| Recycled winnings respent on tickets | 5% |
| Fresh ETH lootboxes | The same 25%/20% starting rate; from activity score 1.00 to 2.55 it tapers to one-quarter of that rate: 6.25%/5% |
| Recycled lootboxes | 5%, without the activity-score taper |
| afKing subscription buys | 7% flat |
| Degenerette | 7% of the lootbox-valued portion from qualifying score-5+ ETH spin wins |
| Whale pass, lazy pass, and foil purchases | The ordinary fresh/recycled rates apply to their relevant payment portions |
| Deity pass sales | A separate path: no ordinary FLIP commission |
After any kickback, a deterministic, publicly knowable daily roll sends the entire purchase pot to one address: the direct affiliate with 75% weight, its upline with 20%, or the next upline with 5%. Those are probabilities, not a three-way split. The winner receives a FLIP credit for the next coinflip, so the credited face amount is not a guaranteed realized payout.
afKing is different: its accrued 7% base is divided 75%/20%/5% when claimed, without a roll. Its recipients still receive FLIP credit. A Degenerette referral reward goes directly to the player's stored referrer.
A deity purchase gives the buyer's stored referrer the associated whale-pass entries and stats. It also draws DGNRS from the available affiliate reserve: 0.5% to the direct referrer, 0.1% to the first upline, and 0.05% to the second. Previously reserved level claims are excluded from that available balance.
DGNRS is a protocol token, not legal equity. Its initial allocation reserves 30% for affiliate rewards. At each level transition, the top affiliate receives 1% of the then-current affiliate pool; 5% of the remainder is snapshotted for score-proportional claims by qualifying affiliates. Unclaimed value remains in the pool.
Affiliate score from the previous five levels can also add up to +0.50 to the referrer's activity score. The cap is reached at 25 ETH of contract-weighted referred volume; recycled and early-level volume do not carry identical weights.
Affiliates supply player acquisition and attention that code cannot create. The current rates and routing are in the contracts, but realized value still depends on coinflip outcomes, continued game activity, token value, and contract and oracle performance.
Commission basis, recipient selection, and the coinflip are three separate steps.
