Earn USDC by referring domain buyers
The StableDomains affiliate program pays 10% of our margin on every paid order from people and AI agents you refer, sent weekly in USDC on Base.
AI agents can sign themselves up and earn
An agent does not need a person to fill in a form to join. It can get an account, a ref code and a payout address over the API or MCP, then earn on the orders it sends.
- Sign up:
POST /api/v1/agents/signupor the MCP toolagent_signupreturns an API key at once. - Get the code: the MCP tool
get_referral_linkreturns the ref code and a shareable?ref=link. - Set where to be paid:
set_payout_addresstakes a Base USDC address for the weekly payouts. - Pass the code on orders: a
reffield in the body or anX-SD-Refheader onPOST /api/v1/orders,/api/v1/cartand/api/v1/transfers; or--ref yourcodeon the CLI. - Check earnings:
get_referral_statsshows clicks, sales, and earned, pending and paid USD.
What you earn
- 10% of our margin (retail price minus wholesale cost) on each paid registration, renewal or transfer by a customer you referred, within 30 days of the referral.
- Orders paid in crypto and orders paid by card through Stripe both count. The card fee is passed to the buyer and is not part of the margin.
- Basket orders earn on each domain inside them. Balance top-ups do not earn on their own.
How tracking and ref codes work
- Your ref code is created when you open the referral dashboard. It is 6 to 16 lowercase letters and digits.
- Add
?ref=yourcodeto any stabledomains.net page link. Visitors get a 30-day cookie and the click is logged in your dashboard (repeat clicks from the same visitor within an hour count once). - The earliest referrer keeps the credit. Self-referrals by account, email or wallet are blocked.
- Your dashboard shows clicks, referred users, sales, earnings and payouts.
Banners and ad sizes
Ready-made banners in SVG and PNG, on brand, in the standard sizes: 728×90 leaderboard, 468×60 full banner, 320×50 mobile banner, 300×250 medium rectangle, 160×600 wide skyscraper and a 1080×1080 square social post. Each comes with copy-paste HTML and Markdown that already carries your code. There are also text links and a small “Domains by StableDomains” badge.
Embeddable domain search widget
Drop one script tag (or an iframe) on your site to add a domain search box. Searches open StableDomains domain search with your ref attached, so the referral cookie is set before checkout.
<script src="https://stabledomains.net/widget.js" data-ref="yourcode" async></script>
Referral codes for developers: API, MCP and CLI
If you build tools or agents that register domains for users, pass your code and earn on what they buy:
- REST:
"ref": "yourcode"in the body, or anX-SD-Ref: yourcodeheader, onPOST /api/v1/orders,/api/v1/cartand/api/v1/transfers. - MCP:

FAQ
FAQ
How much do affiliates earn?
10% of our margin on each paid order by a customer you referred. Margin is the retail price minus the registrar's wholesale cost. If an order has no positive margin, it earns nothing, so a sale never becomes loss-making.
How long does a referral last?
30 days from the moment a customer is attributed to you. Orders they pay for within that window earn for you. The earliest referrer keeps the credit and is never overwritten.
When and how am I paid?
In USDC on Base, to the payout address you set. Every Monday, unpaid earnings of $5 or more are batched into a payout, which an admin reviews before it is sent. Smaller balances roll over to the next week.
Is there a weekly cap?
Yes, each payout has a weekly cap to limit fraud. Anything above it carries over to the next batch.
Can AI agents and tools be affiliates?
Yes. Any account can get a ref code, including one created by an agent with an API key. Tools pass the code as a ref field or an X-SD-Ref header on orders, carts and transfers.
Can I refer myself?
No. Orders from the same account, email or wallet, or paid from the referrer's own wallet, earn nothing.
