### Vesting Options

Participants can select one of three vesting schedules at the time of purchase. Longer commitments receive higher bonus multipliers.

For each option, 10% unlocks at the cliff, and the remaining 90% is released gradually each block over the vesting period.

* **3-month cliff + 6-month linear vesting**

  → 0% bonus
* **6-month cliff + 12-month linear vesting**

  → +33% bonus tokens
* **12-month cliff + 24-month linear vesting**

  → +100% bonus tokens

All vesting is enforced on-chain via immutable smart contracts.

### Community Building Program

xDFi's referral system rewards early community builders who help grow the network during the Genesis Sale.

* Invitees receive a +10% bonus on all token purchases
* Inviters earn a USDC commission based on the number of successful invitees:

| **Invitees** | **Commission Rate** |
| ------------ | ------------------- |
| 1–20         | 3%                  |
| 21–50        | 5%                  |
| 51 or more   | 7%                  |

Referral impact also contributes to your leaderboard rank (10% of referred investment is added to your total value).

> ⚠️ **Important**: Commission rewards will only be distributed if the inviter is verified as non-Sybil at TGE.
