Earn Koins & refer partners
Referrals are how partners earn Koins: a 500-Koin bounty for every partner you refer who joins and lists, credited to your universal wallet. Platform actions — completing your profile, adding listings, engaging with reviews — earn badges and XP instead: since 31 July 2026 actions never mint Koins (the same rule that has always applied to gamification).
Ways to earn Koinslink
The referral bounty is the one action-triggered Koin payout: +500 Koins for each new partner you refer, credited when they publish their first listing. Referral Koins are EARNED Koins — spendable across the platform AND Kash-convertible for withdrawal under manual-review payouts (purchased Koins, by contrast, are spend-only). In India, amounts display as Sikka; the underlying unit is always Koins.
Platform actions do not pay Koins (policy since 31 July 2026; action grants credited before then stay in your wallet). What each action awards instead:
- check_circleComplete your profile — triggers a full badge re-check on your profile.
- check_circlePublish listings — First Listing and Portfolio Builder badges.
- check_circleGet verified reviews — Review Collector badge progress (one count per listing per reviewer).
- check_circleRespond to reviews within 48 hours — Review Champion badge progress (later replies still publish but are not credited toward the badge).
Your earn historylink
The Earn page also lists your real history — every server-recorded event, newest first, idempotent (an action can never double-count). Events dated before 31 July 2026 show the Koin amounts the retired action program credited, including capped rows; action events since then appear as badge credits with no amount — they count toward badges, never your wallet.
Achievements & badgeslink
The same page tracks milestone achievements — First Listing, Portfolio Builder, Review Collector, Review Champion, AI Explorer, Agent Deployer, Super Referrer, Revenue Milestone — each shown as locked or unlocked from your real activity, alongside your XP, level, badge count, and streak.
Achievements are recognition, permanently: they carry badges and XP only and will never pay Koins — that is platform law, not a pending feature. Badges are awarded server-side from real records the moment their triggering event lands, with a monthly reconciliation on the 1st for the badges that have no dedicated event (Super Referrer, Agent Deployer, AI Explorer).
Refer a partner (500 Koins)link
The Partner Referral Program pays 500 Koins for every partner you bring to Kariant. The bounty is server-enforced with two conditions: your referred partner must create an account AND publish their first listing before the 500 Koins credit. A signup alone does not pay out.
- 1In the partner console, open Koins and go to the Earn page.
- 2Copy your personal referral link from the Partner Referral Program card.
- 3Share the link with prospective partners — email, DM, or anywhere else.
- 4When someone joins through your link, they appear in your Referral History with a live status: pending, signed up, then converted/rewarded.
- 5Once they have both created an account and submitted a listing, 500 Koins credit to your wallet automatically, and the referral shows the amount rewarded.

Everything you earn credits to your universal wallet, and the Koins dashboard shows your balance, transactions, and tier status. Koins are closed-loop platform currency — spend them on Boost, affiliate rewards, and other partner features.
Frequently asked questions
Do platform actions still pay Koins?expand_more
No. Since 31 July 2026, actions like completing your profile, publishing listings, and engaging with reviews award badges and XP only — never Koins. Action grants credited before that date stay in your wallet. The 500-Koin referral bounty is a commission, not an action reward, and is unchanged.
When exactly do I get the 500-Koin referral bounty?expand_more
Only after your referred partner has both created a Kariant account and submitted a listing. This double condition is enforced server-side — a signup without a listing stays at "signed up" status and does not pay out.
How do I track my referrals?expand_more
The Referral History panel on the Earn page shows every referral with its date and live status — pending, signed up, or converted/rewarded — plus the Koins credited once the bounty lands.
Can I cash out the Koins I earn?expand_more
Yes — earned Koins (referral bounties and pre-2026-07-31 action grants) convert to Kash on the Kash page and withdraw to your bank under manual-review payouts (cash-out is live since 2026-07-20). Purchased Koins are the spend-only class: full platform spend power, never cash.
