# How to Qualify

To start earning referral commissions, a few conditions must be met:

* **Referred User Activity**: When someone signs up with your referral link, they need to deposit and trade at least $100 on Yamata for you to begin earning commissions from their fees. This requirement ensures that referred users are active traders, and it prevents abuse of the program. Until the $100 trading threshold is met by the referred user, no referral commission is generated.
* **Minimum Earnings for Payout**: Your accumulated referral rewards must reach a minimum of $20 (in YMTA value) before you can claim a payout. If your referral earnings are below $20, they will continue to accrue until you hit the threshold. This minimum payout ensures that transactions and distributions remain efficient (avoiding very small transfers).

These requirements help maintain a fair and efficient referral system for all participants.
