Short answer: Maestro’s referral program pays up to 25% lifetime commission on the fees of users who trade through your link. Sticky links credit first-time users, quick-buy links are token-specific and share the commission when the user already has a referrer, and payouts are manual per chain.
Two link types, two attribution rules
A sticky referral link credits you with the fees of every user who starts the bot for the very first time through it. The attribution only applies to first-time users, so an existing user cannot be moved onto your account by clicking your link.
A quick-buy link is token-specific: when someone clicks it, they land on that token’s report and can trade immediately. For a brand-new user it behaves like a sticky referral. For a user who already has a referrer, the 25% commission is split in half with the original referrer.
How the numbers are counted
The referral menu shows a referral ID, a link, the number of referred users and the active ones, and the referral percentage. The referred-users count only includes people who started the bot through your sticky or quick-buy link, not existing users who traded through a quick-buy link.
Creators with a large, active audience can ask Maestro’s marketing contact for a custom percentage, according to the documentation.
Payouts are manual
Maestro does not pay earnings automatically. You set a fee wallet for each chain where you have earnings, choose to send the unpaid earnings from the referral menu, and complete the payment yourself. Gas costs are covered only within the limits shown in the payment menu.
That makes record-keeping your job: note the chain, amount and date of each payout for your own accounting.
