What is Kariant Distribution?
Kariant Distribution is the free, affiliate-led amplification layer of Kariant. Creators, website owners, and affiliate marketers spread partner listings across the web through four channels — Embed, Email, Automated DMs, and Katalyst programs — with every click attributed and rewards paid in Koins.
What Kariant Distribution islink
Distribution turns any Kariant user — a website owner, influencer, creator, affiliate marketer, or referrer — into a growth channel for a Kariant partner. When a partner runs an affiliate/referral program (Katalyst), you can join it, get a tracked referral link, and spread that partner's listings wherever your audience is.
Every click routes through Kariant with attribution, so the affiliate earns on the results they drive and the partner receives qualified traffic and leads. The distribution mechanics themselves are free — there is no platform fee to join or run a program — and affiliate rewards are paid in Koins (displayed as Sikka in India).
The four channelslink
Distribution spans four channels, each carrying the affiliate's referral link and full click attribution:
- check_circleEmbed — place a listing card, a full listing detail page, or a curated collection of listings on any website using copy-paste iframe, HTML, WordPress, or React snippets. Cards and detail-page embeds are live; affiliate-built collections are in Beta.
- check_circleEmail — compose a branded email with embedded listing cards plus your referral link and send it through Kariant's built-in email engine, with open and click tracking. No separate email tool required.
- check_circleAutomated DMs — keyword-triggered direct messages deliver your referral link to interested viewers. Multi-channel broadcasts (Instagram, Telegram, WhatsApp) are live; the comment-keyword auto-trigger is coming.
- check_circleKatalyst — the engine behind it all: partners create affiliate/referral programs with event-driven reward rules and tiered multipliers. Rewards settle in Koins today; cash settlement is on the roadmap (targeted July 2026) and is labeled until it ships.
Who it is forlink
Distribution serves both sides of the same flywheel. Partners get their listings carried across sites, inboxes, and social audiences they never had to reach — at zero upfront cost, rewarding affiliates only on results. Affiliates and creators get a catalog of real business listings to promote, professional embed and email tooling, and Koin rewards on the conversions they generate.
Distribution is distinct from two neighbors: Kariant Outreach (partner-run, ICP-targeted sponsored messaging to buyers) and the Distribution Ad Network (KDN), which serves paid partner campaigns across publisher sites with CPM/CPC billing. Distribution itself is affiliate-led and free.
