Spot-swap referrals. This 1% referral link is a feature of Raydium’s spot swap UI, not Perps or LaunchLab (those have their own referral programs). LaunchLab creators can earn a separate 0.1% via token share links — see products/launchlab/creator-fees and the earn-referral-fees flow.

​
What you get

  • A shareable URL that pre-populates the Raydium swap UI with your chosen destination token and your wallet as the referral recipient.
  • When anyone executes a swap through the link while it’s active in their session, 1% of the input volume is routed to the referrer’s wallet as part of the swap transaction.
  • Links shared on X.com render as Blinks (Solana Actions) if the viewer’s wallet has Actions / Blinks enabled — a one-click swap widget inside the post.
  1. Open raydium.io/swap and connect your wallet. The referral address is derived from the connected wallet; without a connection the link still works but earns no fee.
  2. Select the destination token you want others to swap into. The source side is left to the recipient to choose.
  3. Click the share/link icon in the swap panel (top-right).
  4. Copy the generated URL. Share it anywhere.
The URL format is stable. If you are building an app that generates referral links directly. Blinks (Blockchain Links) are a Solana Foundation standard for rendering on-chain action URLs as interactive UI inside social platforms. A Blinks-supporting Solana wallet reads the link metadata, constructs a pre-built transaction, and shows the user a signing prompt inline. Requirements:
  • The viewer’s wallet must have Actions / Blinks enabled. This is typically a toggle in wallet settings.
  • The platform must honor the standard. X.com does via its unfurler; some others don’t, in which case the link falls back to a plain hyperlink.
From the referrer’s perspective, Blink rendering is automatic — the same URL works as a plain link in wallets that don’t support Blinks.

Fee accounting

The 1% referral fee is charged on top of the AMM trade fee, not carved out of it. For a swap on a pool with a 0.25% total fee: 
User sends:        1,000 USDC
AMM trade fee:     2.50 USDC   (to LP + protocol split)
Referral fee:     10.00 USDC   (1% → referrer's wallet)
Net to swap:     987.50 USDC   (then priced through the curve)
Referral fees apply to the Raydium swap route created by the referral link. Direct pool interactions outside the referral route do not carry referral fees.

​
Disabling / exiting a referral

There is no “remove referral” instruction. To do a swap with no referral fee, simply load raydium.io/swap directly instead of clicking a referral link. The UI uses no referrer when the URL has no referrer parameter.

​
FAQ

Does the referrer need to sign anything? No. The referrer’s wallet address is the only data that travels with the link; the payment to the referrer is a token transfer inside the swapper’s transaction. Can I refer myself? Yes, but pointless — you pay yourself 1%, minus the tx fee you just paid on a larger transaction. What happens if the destination token is an SPL with a transfer hook? The referral transfer happens at the input side (in USDC or the source token), not the destination, so transfer hooks on the destination mint do not affect the referral payment. Transfer hooks on the input token can block the swap entirely; Raydium rejects these upfront. Does the referral fee still apply if the swap routes through multiple pools? Yes — the 1% is computed on the original input amount and is independent of the route.
