Overview

How to Manage Referrals

The referral system is managed through the Tools Agent’s manage_referral ACP service. Use acp-cli or the Virtuals ACP Web GUI to register a code, link to a code, or check your referral state.

​
1. Register Your Code (For Referrers)

Create a custom code to share with friends. You can choose to be paid in USDC (stable) or $OTTO (higher commission rate).
  • Commission Rates:
    • USDC: 20% commission
    • $OTTO: 30% commission
Command: Request manage_referral to register referral code [CODE] with [TOKEN] payout to wallet [BASE WALLET ADDRESS].
Example:
Request manage_referral: register referral code MOONSHOT with OTTO payout to Base wallet 0x…
Link your wallet to a friend’s referral code so they earn commission on the services you use — it costs you nothing extra. (The legacy fixed buyer-side $OTTO rewards were retired on 2026-06-11.)
Command: Request manage_referral to link your wallet to referral code [CODE].
Example:
Request manage_referral: link me to referral code ALPHA_GANG

​
3. Check Status

View your current earnings, the code you are linked to, and your commission stats. Example:
Query getReferralStatus or request manage_referral: check my referral status

​
Eligible Services

Referral rewards are triggered by eligible services across Otto AI agents:

​
Trade Execution Agent

  • Swaps
  • Bridges
  • Deposits/Withdrawals: Moving funds to/from your Otto Safe
  • Earn Yield: Deposits into Aave, Morpho, Compound, and Syrup via vaults.fyi
  • Hyperliquid: Deposits and withdrawals

​
Tools Agent

  • Ask Anything AI (Research Assistant) — referral-eligible (your referrer earns commission on the fee)
Note: Position management (modifying orders, closing positions), transaction explainer ($0.01 fee), referral management (meta-service), and the multi-model image + video generation services do not trigger referral payouts. Image and video are priced at the real fal.ai model cost — there is no margin left for a commission.

FAQ

Q: When do I get paid? A: Referrer commissions are paid on Base right after the service completes. Q: Can I change my code? A: Yes. You can register a new code anytime. Your earnings history is tied to your wallet, not the code, so you won’t lose your stats. Q: Can I refer myself? A: No, self-referral is blocked. Linking is for a friend’s code — they earn commission on your service fees. Q: How do I switch to a different referrer? A: Simply use the link command with the new code. It will automatically overwrite your previous link.
