Badges, Tribes, and rewards
The GitHub sponsor badge
Holders of at least 10,000 tokens are a token's sponsors. The sponsor badge is a live image for your repo's README that shows them.
Setup is one tap. The app opens a pull request against your repo and merges it for you; once the badge is on your README, your token page shows Badge live. The Markdown one-liner is also available in the app for manual setup.
The image is rendered from live holder data on every view and links back to your token page on tribe.run.
Tribes: token chat
Tokens with chat enabled have a Tribe, a chat for their holders. Hold at least 10,000 tokens (0.001% of supply) and you are in. Membership is automatic, with no invites or caps. The creator is always a member. Sending messages requires a connected GitHub or X account, and the creator can ban members.
The same 10,000-token bar drives chat membership and sponsor status on the badge. Chat is available in both the mobile app and the web app.

Referrals and invites
This section describes referrals created by Tribe invite links and codes. External clients that send the public onchain swap use the separate permissionless integration referral, which is single-level and does not use the invite tree or its expiry.
New accounts are created in the mobile app. An invite is optional: use one during signup, or add your inviter once later in Settings → Manage account. Adding an inviter only affects future referral activity and cannot be changed.
Connect X and reach $150 in cumulative in-app buy and sell volume to activate your permanent, reusable invite link. Tribe tokens, external Solana tokens, and Robinhood tokens all count. The link keeps the same code; disconnecting X pauses it until you reconnect.
When someone uses your link or code they become one of your direct referrals. The people they invite are your 2nd referrals, and theirs are your 3rd.
Referred traders get a discount on their trades of Tribe-launched tokens. You earn a share of the fees from everyone in your referral tree; your cut comes out of the protocol share of their trades, after the discount.
| Relationship | Reward |
|---|---|
| Direct referrals | 30% on every trade they make |
| 2nd referrals | 3% on their trades |
| 3rd referrals | 2% on their trades |
| Launch allocation | 2,500,000 tokens when a direct referral launches a Tribe |
Everything pays out automatically, in SOL or tokens, straight to your wallet. There is nothing to claim. For each person you refer, your rewards and their discount run for 180 days from the day the referral is added.
Wallets and accounts
Sign in with email, Google, or Apple. Privy creates embedded EVM and Solana wallets for your account, and the same wallets sign on mobile and web.
Deposit SOL to your address, withdraw SOL or tokens to any Solana address, and export your EVM or Solana private key at any time through Privy's secure export flow. The key is never visible to the app.
New accounts are created in the iOS and Android app. The web app is for existing accounts: trade, chat, manage your portfolio, launch tokens, and track your rewards.
