FliteGrid pays **$50 for every hex** your referrals claim and bring online. ## How It Works 1. **Get a referral code.** Email to sign up for the program and receive your code. 2. **Share it.** Your referral enters the code when they claim their hex. 3. **Get paid.** For each hex your referral claims, once the sensor in that hex completes its first full paid month (deployed, online, and earning its own $50), a $50 referral payment is sent to the wallet on your account. ## The Details **Anyone can refer.** You don't need to be a deployer yourself to earn referral payments, though deployers tend to make the best advocates since they can show the setup working. **Paid per hex, not per person.** If your referral claims one hex, you earn $50. If they claim ten and bring them all online, you earn $500. Every hex they claim counts, including hexes they add later, so referring serious deployers pays accordingly. **Payment follows performance.** Each referral payment triggers only after that hex's sensor earns its own first monthly payment, not at claim time. This keeps the program pointed at real deployed coverage rather than claim-and-abandon signups. **Same payment setup as deployers.** Referral payments are made in USDC and are taxable income, so a wallet address and W-9 are required before payout. The network grows one rooftop at a time, and most of the best rooftops are found through people who know the area. If you've got reach into a community near an airport, a stadium, a university, or any other stretch of eligible airspace, and especially if you know property managers and businesses with access to many rooftops, this is the easiest money in the program.
