Referral Program
This program was activated February 1, 2026
XNET Foundation Referral Program rewards approved sales representatives for sourcing new deployments and venues. Referral incentives are structured differently depending on whether a site is self-onboarded by the client or managed by a third party.
Definitions
Operator Bucket: the standard pool where Epoch Rewards are emitted from.
Foundation Grants: a separate incentive bucket used to fund ecosystem growth incentives.
1) Client Self-Onboarding (Direct Operator)
In this path, the client completes onboarding directly with XNET (creates wallet, registers devices, adds certificates, configures Passpoint, and receives token payouts).
Flow
Client pays the standard brownfield onboarding fees to XNET.
Client receives 100% of device earnings from the Operator Bucket (Epoch Rewards).
Sales representative receives 10% of device earnings from Foundation Grants, for up to 2 years from activation.
Key point: The client’s earnings are not diluted, referral rewards are funded via Foundation Grants, not the Operator Rewards Pool.
2) Third-Party Managed Onboarding (Managed Operator)
In this path, the client elects to have a third party manage onboarding and ongoing operations (device registration, Passpoint setup, payout administration, monitoring/maintenance).
Flow
Third-party manager pays the onboarding fee to XNET on behalf of the client.
XNET earmarks 10% of device earnings for the sales representative, emitted from the Operator Bucket (Epoch Rewards).
Remaining 90% of device earnings is emitted from the Operator Bucket (Epoch Rewards) to the third-party manager.
Third-party manager allocates a portion of its earnings to client(s) to support setup, conversion, and ongoing monitoring/maintenance.
Key point: In managed deployments, the referral incentive is sourced from the Operator Bucket (Epoch Rewards) and reduces the portion distributed to the manager.
