# Referral Codes

When you create an account on Vibe, two important things happen:

* You are prompted to enter a friend’s referral code.
* When your account is created, you automatically receive a unique referral code (which matches your account name), and an “account NFT” is minted at the same time.

## Friend’s Referral Code

It’s highly recommended to sign up using a friend’s referral code. If you don’t have one, try searching for the hashtag #vibecode on X when these become live.

Signing up with a friend’s referral code allows you to earn trading fee rakeback.

## How Do I Refer Someone to Vibe?

When you create an account on Vibe, your “account NFT” is minted, and you instantly receive a referral code tied to that NFT. This referral code is the same as your account name.

## Sharing Your Code

You can share your referral code in several ways:

* Tell it to someone. They then manually enter the refcode when creating their account.
* Use a unique link: \<COMING SOON>
* From your Vibe "My Account" page, directly share your referral code image to Twitter (X), allowing friends to scan your QR code.
* Your P\&L share cards also include your referral code and QR code.

There are three ways to do this:

1. During account creation, enter a friend’s referral code directly.
2. Before creating an account, click a friend’s referral link or scan their QR code.
3. If you already have an account, simply enter the referral code at \<COMING SOON>
