How points are earned
Cheoma runs a points program on testnet that determines leaderboard placement and feeds airdrop allocation at launch. Points come from two families of actions:
Join Telegram (@cheomayield)+5 pts
Follow on X (@cheomayield_xyz)+3 pts
Daily tweet+2 pts
Social referral+3 pts
On-chain deposit referral (unique depositor, $20+)+3 pts
Telegram membership is verified automatically via the @cheoma_bot verification bot. On-chain deposit referrals are tracked from vault deposit events.
02 — Referrals
NFTs that earn while you sleep
Cheoma referrals run on ERC-721 NFTs. You mint a referral NFT with a unique code, share your link, and anyone who deposits through it becomes your referee.
- You earn 10% of the entry and exit fees from your referees' deposits (paid in USDC).
- 90% flows to The Gotgan treasury.
- Your referral NFT is transferable and tradeable — the code itself is an asset.
- Share links carry the code via URL (
?ref=CODE) and register automatically when a wallet connects.
