# How dymi's Referral Program Works

> dymi gives 120 star sand to the person who invites a friend and 80 star sand to the new user. Here's exactly how the referral system works, what star sand buys, and how to share your code.

dymi's referral program gives you 120 star sand when a friend signs up with your code, and the friend receives 80 star sand. The program is simple, has no payment commissions right now, and helps both new and existing users get more free chatting time.

Star sand is the in-app currency on dymi. You spend it to send messages to AI characters. Without star sand you cannot chat, so every successful referral directly extends how long you and your friend can talk to characters that remember past conversations.

## What exactly do you and your friend receive?

When someone signs up using your personal referral code:
- You (the inviter) receive 120 star sand.
- Your friend (the invitee) receives 80 star sand.

These amounts are fixed. Payment commission is currently disabled, so there are no cash rewards or percentages of purchases. The only benefit is extra star sand for both parties.

Each user can only be attributed to one inviter. The system automatically rejects self-invites and any attempts to game the rules.

## How to find and share your referral code

Open the dymi app and look for the referral section — usually under your profile or a dedicated "Invite friends" tab. There you will see your unique referral code and a shareable invite link.

You can send the code or link through any messaging app, social media, email, or even in person. The friend simply enters the code during signup or uses the link, which automatically applies it. Once they complete signup, both accounts are credited instantly.

The process is designed to be frictionless. No forms to fill out after the initial signup, and the star sand appears in both balances without needing to claim it manually.

## What can you actually do with the star sand?

Star sand is spent one unit per message when chatting with characters. Different characters may have different costs, but the principle is the same: more star sand means more messages and longer relationships with characters who remember your history together.

The 120 star sand from a successful referral typically translates into dozens of additional messages depending on the character and model chosen. The 80 star sand given to new users gives them a meaningful head start instead of hitting a wall after the free trial messages.

## Common questions about the dymi referral program

**Can I use multiple referral codes on one account?**
No. Each invitee can only be attributed to one inviter. The first valid code or link used during signup is the one that counts. Later attempts to add another code will be rejected.

**Is there any cash or commission for referring paying users?**
Payment commission is currently disabled. The program focuses exclusively on star sand rewards for both the referrer and the new user.

**What happens if I try to refer myself?**
Self-invites are automatically rejected by the system. The accounts must be genuinely separate.

**Do referrals expire?**
The program has no stated expiration on the codes themselves, but it is always best to use a fresh link or code so the system can properly attribute the signup.

## Why the referral program matters for users evaluating dymi

When comparing AI companion apps, free credits that actually last matter. dymi's model of giving both sides star sand creates a direct incentive to bring friends into the same ecosystem. Because characters on dymi remember past chats and feel time passing, the extra messages from referrals help build longer, more consistent relationships instead of resetting every time you run out of credits.

Users who invite 3–4 friends can quickly multiply their available chat time without spending money. At the same time, new users start with enough star sand to properly test memory features and model choices rather than making a decision after only a handful of messages.

Core takeaways
- Inviters receive exactly 120 star sand per successful referral; invitees receive exactly 80 star sand.
- Star sand is spent on every message sent to AI characters — more sand equals longer conversations with characters that remember you.
- Payment commission is currently disabled; the program is purely about free chat credits.
- Each new user can only use one referral code, and self-referrals are rejected.
- Your personal code and link are found inside the app under the profile or invite section.

If you value memory that lasts past one chat and want a practical way to earn more free usage, the referral program is one of the most direct routes. Share your code with friends who might enjoy talking to characters that feel alive across days and weeks.
