# Discounts, Referrals & GoldPass

## Discounts

Below is a breakdown of the discounts that can be applied during the public zNode sale. If you qualify for these discounts they will be automatically applied at checkout.  

| **Type**             | **Discount** | **Description**                                                                                                                                       |
| -------------------- | ------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Community Badgez** | up to 10%    | Partners and partnered communities will have a special badge. Members of these communities can claim the community badges to earn up to 10% discount. |
| **Validation Tasks** | 5%           | Completing 5 validation tasks will grant users a 5% discount.                                                                                         |
| **Intel Discount**   | up to 20%    | Any Intel discount earned from previous testnet epochs participation will be applied.                                                                 |
| **Referrals**        | 10%          | By using referral links or codes users will receive a 10% discount.                                                                                   |

{% hint style="info" %}
All available discounts are stackable, with a **total discount cap of 20%**. For example, if you get 10% from a referral link, 7% from Intel discount, and 5% from Badgez, only **20%** will be applied when purchasing the zNodes, not 22%. 
{% endhint %}

## Referrals

The Rivalz referral program rewards users who invite others to join the network. Participants can earn a 10% commission from zNodes purchased through their referrals.

#### How to Get Started

1. **Create a Referral Code**: Visit [the Rivalz referral page](https://rivalz.ai/referral-program), choose a unique code, and assign it.
2. **Share Your Link**: Copy your code or referral link to share on social media or with friends.
3. **Earn a Commission**: You earn a 10% commission when referrals purchase nodes.

{% hint style="info" %}
Users will be able to claim their commissions after the zNode Sale.
{% endhint %}

## GoldPass

During Epochs 1 and 2, we distributed **GoldPasses** to the Rivalz Community. Each GoldPass allows users to purchase a guaranteed Tier 1 zNode. If users haven't purchased the Tier 1 zNode during the Wave 0 sale, they can do so during the Public zNode sale.

{% hint style="info" %}
No additional GoldPasses will be distributed for the Public zNode Sale.
