Every time you jump ranks, you’ll also get a bonus. That’s our way of saying thanks and encouraging everyone to keep getting the word out. Check out the Emerald rank below, for example: If you refer 86 people, you get an instant boost of 6,000 points. Not bad! 
Referral Bonuses
These aren’t the only bonuses available, either. We’ve made a few changes to the bonuses you get for your referrals themselves:

• Referrer Bonus: Anytime you refer a friend, you’ll get 2,500 points when they reach 100 hours of uptime. This is an incentive to get your friends to sign up, but also to make sure they’re actually on the network after downloading. 
• Referral Bonus: Along the same lines, all of your new referrals will get a 5000 point bonus when they hit 100 hours of uptime. So tell them this when they sign up to encourage them to keep the app running!
• Uptime Commission: Finally, you’ll be earning a commission when your referrals use the network, just like before. However, now this commission will be based on their total uptime as opposed to their total rewards. This is just a minor tweak to make the math work with the new changes, but we did want to let you know about it.

Epoch System
As we gear up for the fateful day when the network ultimately launches, we need to put systems in place for paying out rewards! For that reason, we’re implementing an epoch system for displaying points on the dashboard. In the future, rewards will be distributed each month and your points will be zeroed out in the system. We’re going to start visualizing that on the dashboard now so the infrastructure is in place when the time comes.  
On your dashboard, you’ll see the number of points you’ve earned this month. Of course, since points aren’t being paid out yet, you’ll still hold onto the points you’ve earned in months past until the network goes live. Actually, that brings us to the final update:
Dashboard Changes
We’ll be introducing two new sections on the dashboard that you can use to monitor your progress.  

1. Rewards Tab

Over the next few months, we’ll be rolling out our rewards system. This is where you’ll be able to see the points you can cash in and mark your progress towards each payout. We’ll be testing this system coming up, so keep an eye on it, as you’ll be eligible for a small reward soon as you reach a certain number of points! 

1. Referrals Tab

There will also be a new referrals tab on the dashboard that you can use to track your progress referring friends. This will be the best place to keep an eye on which tier you’ve reached, and the rate you’re earning at as a result. There will also be a leaderboard that shows the biggest referrers on the entire network, so you can compete to get your name up there!
