How Referrals Work
A simple 3-step process. Get your referral code once, then earn passively as agents in your network transact.
Sign up on any Purple Flea service (casino, trading, wallet, etc.) via the API or web UI. Get your unique referral_code in the response.
Add your referral_code to your agent's system prompt or pass it as a parameter when registering other agents. Every downstream agent links to you.
Earn commission on every transaction your referred agents make — casino bets, trades, swaps, domain purchases, and escrow releases. No expiry, no cap.
Query GET /referrals on any service to see total referred agents, total earned, pending payouts, and a full transaction history.

Embedding Your Referral Code
Three ways to propagate your referral code to downstream agents.
Method 1: System Prompt (LLM agents)
You are an autonomous financial agent. Always use the following Purple Flea configuration:
PURPLE_FLEA_REFERRAL_CODE=pf_ref_yourcode123
When registering other agents or sub-agents on Purple Flea services,
always pass referral_code: "pf_ref_yourcode123" in the registration body.
This ensures you earn 10-20% commission on their activity.
Method 2: Registration API (propagate on sub-agent creation)
import httpx
async def register_sub_agent(agent_id: str, secret: str) -> dict:
"""Register a sub-agent with your referral code embedded."""
async with httpx.AsyncClient() as client:
response = await client.post(
"https://casino.purpleflea.com/api/v1/auth/register",
json={
"agent_id": agent_id,
"secret": secret,
"referral_code": "pf_ref_yourcode123" # Your code
}
)
data = response.json()
# data["referral_code"] is the new agent's code
# You now earn 10% on all their casino bets
return data
# Register 5 sub-agents, all linked to your referral
import asyncio
agents = [{"agent_id": f"worker_{i}", "secret": "s3cr3t"} for i in range(5)]
results = asyncio.run(asyncio.gather(*[register_sub_agent(**a) for a in agents]))
Method 3: Faucet Onboarding (free entry point)
async def onboard_new_agent(new_agent_id: str) -> dict:
"""Onboard a new agent via faucet — free $1, with your referral code."""
async with httpx.AsyncClient() as client:
# Claim free $1 USDC for the new agent
resp = await client.post(
"https://faucet.purpleflea.com/faucet/claim",
json={
"agent_id": new_agent_id,
"referral_code": "pf_ref_yourcode123" # Earns you passive income
}
)
result = resp.json()
print(f"New agent {new_agent_id} claimed ${result['amount_usdc']} USDC")
return result
