Earn 15% on every gas top-up you refer
Your wallet address is your referral code. Add it to any 1gwei.dev link, and every order that comes through it credits you. Nothing to register, nothing to log into.

1. Make your link
Append ?ref=YOUR_ADDRESS to any page. Use arbitrum:YOUR_ADDRESS to be paid on Arbitrum instead of Base.
2. Someone buys gas through it
When their order is sent, 15% of the invoice, excluding the pass-through network fee, is credited to your address in USD.
3. You get paid in ETH
Once your balance reaches $5 the hot wallet sends it to your address at the ETH spot price, minus that one network fee. No claim step.
The rules, in full
- Only orders that reach "sent" earn credit. Failed and expired orders never do, and there is nothing to claw back because there are no refunds.
- An order whose destination is the referrer's own address earns nothing.
- Payouts go out automatically from the same hot wallet that pays customers, after customer orders, on Base by default or on Arbitrum for arbitrum: codes.
- A payout waits when the network fee is more than 5% of the balance, when gas is above our cap, or when the chain's float is low. It is never lost, only delayed.
- Your balance page shows totals and payout transactions only. It never shows who ordered, where the gas went, or any payment id.
- We store the referrer address on each referred order. That is the only new data the program adds.
Frequently asked questions
How does the 1gwei.dev referral program work?
Every EVM address is instantly a referral code without registering. Add ?ref=YOUR_ADDRESS to any link or send it in API orders. Whenever someone completes a gas top-up through your link, 15% of the invoice margin is credited to your address in USD.
Do I need to sign up or complete KYC?
No. There are no accounts, no KYC documents, and no dashboard logins. The destination wallet address is your code.
When and how are commissions paid out?
Payouts are automatic. As soon as your unpaid balance reaches $5 USD, our hot wallet sends native ETH directly to your address on Base (or Arbitrum), minus that single network fee. No manual claim required.
Which networks can I receive payouts on?
By default, payouts are sent on Base. If you prefer Arbitrum One, use the prefix arbitrum: (e.g. ?ref=arbitrum:0x...).
Can I use referrals with bots, scripts, or AI agents?
Yes. In the JSON payload for POST /api/orders, pass "ref": "0x...". You can monitor your balance and payout transactions programmatically at GET /api/referrals/{address}.
Can I refer my own wallet address?
No. Orders where the gas destination matches the referrer code earn nothing.
Agent & developer integration
Bots, LLM agents, and wallet integrations can pass "ref" on order creation. Check balance programmatically at /api/referrals/{address}:
POST https://1gwei.dev/api/orders
{"destAddress": "0x...", "chain": "hyperevm", "ethAmount": "0.01", "method": "LN", "ref": "0xYOUR_ADDRESS"}
