Our Referral System has proven to be quite successful. We continue to refine it and have found that it significantly improves new user retention.
Acquiring new users is important but keeping those users around is equally important. Our referral system has proven to do a really good job of this as the Referral Dashboard frontend that we built allows existing users to see exactly who has signed up through their referral links, track their activity on the Hive blockchain and encourage them to get more active.
To make all of this work, we have several layers of infrastructure:
Tracking on-chain data related to the onboard via HAFSQL - how many posts, threads, comments, etc. they've made as well as other relevant data in our Accounts API (access to our HAFSQL node is opened up in Phase 2 of this roadmap)
Affiliate link structure (we modeled this after Amazon's Affiliate link structure. Where if a user clicks on a blog post / thread you've shared, then it will give you the referral credit if they signup to Hive within 30 days of clicking your link). This deeply incentivizes sharing your Hive content outside of the ecosystem and aiming to get as many clicks on it as possible
...
As you can see, laying the groundwork by releasing our other APIs is critical for adding successful features like this to our open source contributions to Hive.
The APIs for our referral system to be opened up are currently in development. We'll release them soon.
