Your Users, Your Fees: A Partner Program Built Into Consensus
The first transaction permanently binds a user to the partner they came through. From then on, every fee goes to that partner — enforced by consensus, not by a contract.
Anyone who has ever brought an audience to someone else's platform carries the same scar.
You build a community for years. You bring it into an app, a marketplace, a network. Then the rules change: the commission gets cut, the referral program gets "revised," the account gets restricted, the algorithm stops showing you to your own people. The audience you gathered turns out to be rented — from the platform.
Crypto, oddly enough, works the same way. Blockchains acquire users through wallets, exchanges, communities, influencers — and pay the people who brought those users nothing. All the value of acquisition flows to the protocol and to validators "in general." The one who actually opened the door doesn't get a single transaction out of it.
We decided this was wrong — and built the answer not into a marketing program, but into consensus itself.
How it works
In AYA Network, every partner has a gateway — their own node, through which their community enters the network.
The rule is single and simple:
The first transaction permanently binds a user's address to the gateway of the partner they came through. From that moment on, the fee of every transaction this user makes goes to the partner. Not to us. Not to "the network in general." To the partner.
Three properties make this rule unlike any referral program you have seen.
1. The binding lives in the chain itself. It is not a record in our database and not a line in a contract. It is part of the network's state, written once and forever — write-once by construction. We physically cannot "revise the terms": there is no mechanism that touches someone else's binding. No one has one.
2. The fee route is checked by consensus. A transaction whose fee is directed to the wrong gateway is simply invalid. Every node in the network will reject it. Neither an app, nor another partner, nor we ourselves can substitute the fee recipient. This is not a promise — it is a validation rule, as hard as a signature check.
3. Everything happens automatically. No referral codes. No dashboard where you "request a payout." No reporting period and no argument about the numbers. The fee reaches the partner the moment the transaction executes — because the ledger is the partner program.
The network grows along your line
Here is the property we like most.
When your user sends funds to a new person — someone who has never had an address in the network — the new address inherits your gateway. Your community grows naturally: a user brings a user, who brings the next one, and the entire line stays yours. Not because someone in a marketing department decided so, but because that is how the address-birth rule works.
You are not just bringing people in. You are growing a branch of the network — and the branch carries your name at the protocol level.
And what about the user?
The essential point: the binding concerns the fee route, and only the fee route.
The user delegates nothing and risks nothing. Their balance is their property, controlled only by their post-quantum signature (ML-DSA-87, NIST FIPS 204). The partner has no access of any kind to their users' funds — neither technical nor administrative. They earn fees from their users' activity, and that is all.
And even if a partner one day leaves the network — their users' payments do not stop for a second. The fee route falls back to the network default, no one touches any balances, and the user may not even notice the change. The network must work always; partner economics has no right to be a point of failure.
What it takes to become a partner
Almost none of what usually scares people.
Nothing to develop. The wallets are already published on the App Store and Google Play — your users download a ready application.
The infrastructure is minimal: a gateway node on a rented server, and a license. Typical costs are $5–10k, and those are your costs for your own infrastructure. You pay us nothing: no entry fees, no token sale, no "partner packages."
Launch takes a day. The node comes up in hours; by the evening of day one, your gateway is live.
The binding and fee-routing mechanism is already running in production — this is not a whitepaper and not a roadmap. We are now selecting the first cohort of partners: communities, fintech audiences, local markets.
Why we built it this way
Because a network where the one who brought the people owns the economics of those people is more resilient than a network where everything flows to the center. A partner does not need to take our word for it: their income is protected by the same consensus that protects user balances. We cannot change our mind. That was the point.
Your audience. Your branch of the network. Your fees. Written into the chain.
