When users start leveraging the GARD Protocol's [dApp](https://www.gard.money) through your unique referral link you will be able to track conversions simply by connecting the Algorand Account address we've associated with your referral link to the GARD [dApp](https://www.gard.money). Once you have your wallet connected, navigate to the "Account" page, and click on the "View Referrals" button located at the bottom:

Referral button at the bottom of the "Account" page.

Once clicked, you will be on a page that allows you to track your referrals in realtime! (note: if a new user comes to the GARD dApp through your unique link but doesn't deposit any collateral, you will see a new referral but no GARD minted, etc. like below).

**Strategies** Once users have been activated with custom referral links, the potential to earn is limitless. There are various tactics our most successful referral partners have at their disposal including but not limited to: * **Content Creation**: Users who write content or even leverage AI writing engines like CopyAI can create content that fills the void of keyword arbitrage in the Algorand universe. Building content that answers frequently asked questions about Algorand governance, DeFi composability, the latest governance measures, or even how to participate in DeFi governance through protocols like GARD can greatly benefit referral partners who include their unique referral links as call to actions. * **Governance Enrollment**: Governance enrollment is a special time where many people are moving their ALGOs and ALGO derivatives around in an effort to respond to previous governance measures and to maximize their yield. Capturing attention during this time (typically \~2 weeks) and helping to educate AlgoFam on the opportunities at their fingertips can be a compelling reason for new users to take advantage of your unique referral link. * **Community Engagement**: If you see a user on Twitter, Reddit, Discord, or elsewhere in the Algorand community asking for help now's the perfect time to shine! Take pride in helping new users get started or navigate their DeFi journey. After helping to answer some hard questions, simply drop your unique referral link and let them know about the benefits of taking the plunge into Algorand DeFi on GARD with your unique link. At the time of writing this, we are offering 5 GARD for the referring party and 5 GARD for the referred party coming to our platform for the first time through a unique referral link. See [Official Program Details](https://www.algogard.com/news/gard-affiliate-referral-program.html) for the most up to date information about the different incentives currently being offered. * **Benefits of GARD**: There are many benefits to using GARD that we could use your help educating the AlgoFam community on, including: * Receive a **liquid asset**, GARD, without selling your ALGOs or forfeiting your potential governance rewards. GARD may then be used freely in the ecosystem. DeFi strategies can achieve significant additional returns. * **Extra DeFi rewards** so you will receive a higher APR than if you were to participate in regular governance. * Borrow against ALGOs (committed) to governance or ALGO derivatives like gALGO. * **Audited** and running safely for 3+ quarters * Compatibility with **Ledger and Fireblocks**. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
