Recruiting farmers for DappFactory
Bring new farmers to the platform with your recruitment code. DappFactory pays for each one who qualifies, ranks the best recruiters for prizes, or both, depending on the round.
Recruiting is separate from project invites. A recruit joins DappFactory, not a project, and is counted once they qualify. You find your code, link and progress under Referrals → Recruit farmers.
Rounds
DappFactory runs recruitment in rounds, each with its own dates and terms. The header on Recruit farmers shows the current round, its status and what it offers.
| Status | What it means |
|---|---|
| Open | Recruits who qualify now count. |
| Paused | Recruits who join still count once the round resumes. Anything you've already earned stays withdrawable. |
| Closed | No new recruits count. Results become final on the settlement date, after late reversals are removed. |
| Settled | Prizes are paid and the round is over. It moves to Past rounds. |
The terms of a round never change once it opens. If DappFactory wants different terms, it starts a new round.
What a round can pay
- Per recruit. A fixed reward for every qualified recruit, up to a cap per recruiter. It clears after the round's clearing period and withdraws from Recruit farmers.
- Leaderboard. Recruiters are ranked by qualified recruits inside the season dates, and prizes go to the top ranks.
- Both. A smaller reward per recruit, plus prizes for the best recruiters.
What counts as a qualified recruit
A recruit counts once they meet every condition the round switches on: a linked Solana wallet, at least one connected social account, the set number of projects joined and the set number of tasks completed. Your recruits list shows each one's progress.
| Recruit status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Counted | Qualified inside the season. Counts toward your rank and any per-recruit reward. |
| Reversed | DappFactory reversed this recruit, for example for fraud. The reason is shown, and the recruit no longer counts. |
| Lapsed | Stopped qualifying before the season ended. When the round requires recruits to still qualify at the end, they drop off your count. |
| Rejected | Shares a wallet with you or with another recruit. Never counts. |
| Outside the season | Qualified outside the leaderboard's dates, so it doesn't count toward your rank. |
The leaderboard
Your card shows your rank, your counted recruits, how many more you need to move up, and the prize at your current rank. The standings list every recruiter by username. If two recruiters have the same count, whoever reached it first ranks higher.
- Cash is paid in the round's currency, USDC or SOL.
- Gadgets are paid at their cash value.
- Collectibles are editions from a DappFactory collection, sent to your wallet.
Getting paid
When a round settles, your final rank and prize appear on Recruit farmers. The round's contract pays a cash or gadget prize straight to your linked Solana wallet, and a collectible is sent there from DappFactory's collection; without a linked wallet the prize waits for you. Winners of $2,000 or more give tax details before payout and are responsible for their own tax. The official rules for each round are linked from its leaderboard.
