This document outlines the creation of a comprehensive Referral Program designed to drive user growth and engagement on the Gluu platform. The program will reward users with "Gluu Points" for actions that result in successful network expansion, such as generating clicks on referral links and prompting views of shared collections. These points will function as a versatile in-platform currency, redeemable for discounts on monthly subscription fees, rental service fees, and future trade fees.

Goals

The primary goal is to build a self-sustaining and effective growth engine by leveraging our existing user base. We will create a referral system that rewards tangible engagement, not just activity. The project aims to increase qualified new user sign-ups, enhance interaction with core features, and improve user retention by offering a flexible and valuable rewards currency.

Objectives

The team will design and implement a system that enables a user to:

• Access and share a unique referral link.
• Track the status of their invitations, including clicks and views.
• Earn points for specific, engagement-driven actions.
• View their current point balance in a centralized "Rewards Wallet."
• Utilize their points as a credit to reduce costs across multiple platform touchpoints.
• Receive a free month of service for successfully referring a new paid subscriber.
