# Getting Started with Dub

Dub is Bullpen's referral tracking tool for verified creators. Manage affiliate links and payouts directly from your creator dashboard.

Dub helps approved creators manage links, track conversions, and understand payouts in one place.

## How Bullpen referrals work

Bullpen offers two ways to earn as a creator:

1. **Bullpen Refcodes**\
   Share your personal refcode to give new users a trading fee discount. You also earn a share of trading fees from anyone who signs up with your code.
2. **Dub**\
   On top of refcode earnings, Dub lets you earn for driving traffic and new user sign-ups. You get paid for clicks, account creations, and qualified deposits through the Dub dashboard.

## Why use Dub?

Dub allows you to get paid for clicks and gives you visibility into how your referrals are performing:

* See exactly how many sign-ups, deposits, and conversions your links are driving
* Track commissions and upcoming payouts in real time
* Use analytics to understand what is working

### Getting Paid

Payouts are processed weekly through Dub. Make sure your payout details are filled out to avoid any delays.

### How conversions work

Conversions show as pending while we verify activity:

* When someone signs up and deposits through your link, the conversion stays pending for 14 days
* Once verified (minimum $20 deposit + 2 trades), your commission is confirmed

#### Payout Statuses

* **Pending**: Commissions are accruing and are not yet eligible for payout
* **Processing**: Payout has been initiated and usually lands within about four business days
* **Completed**: Funds have been deposited

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.bullpen.fi/rewards/affiliate-program/getting-started-with-dub.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
