What is Kariant Katalyst?
Kariant Katalyst, at katalyst.kariant.app, is a two-sided affiliate platform: businesses create and fund their own referral programs; affiliates join them, share tracked links, and earn Koin commissions on the conversions they drive.
Two sides, one platformlink
As an affiliate you browse the program marketplace, join programs that fit your audience, mint tracked links, and watch clicks, conversions, and commissions accrue in your dashboard.
As a program owner (a business) you create a program, fund its reward escrow, recruit and approve affiliates, review conversions, and manage creatives — all from the program management suite.
Some programs on the marketplace are run by Kariant itself for products listed on the Kariant catalog; others are created and run directly by the businesses behind them. Joining and earning work the same way for both.
How the surface is organizedlink
Discovery: /marketplace lists open programs, /search finds them by name or niche, and each program has its own detail page at /program/<id>. The public /leaderboard shows top-affiliate standings as an anonymized aggregate.
Affiliate workspace (sign-in required): /dashboard, /links (with /links/new to mint), /earnings, /payouts, and /analytics.
Program-owner workspace: /programs/mine, /program/create, and per-program management pages for affiliates, conversions, creatives, and analytics.
Program owners can also promote their program from /advertiser. Marketplace audience metrics — active affiliates, listed programs, conversion rates — are not published there yet; live figures will appear once marketplace reporting is available.
What rewards arelink
Commissions are paid in Koins, the Kariant platform currency (shown as Sikka in India), credited to your universal Kariant wallet. Every commission is paid out of the program’s pre-funded escrow — a program cannot promise rewards it has not deposited.
Kariant-managed cash settlement is not live yet: the platform runs in a closed-loop posture, and program owners who want to settle in cash do so with their affiliates directly, off-platform.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need an account to browse programs?expand_more
No — the marketplace, program detail pages, and leaderboard are open. You need a free Kariant account to join a program, mint links, and earn.
Is this the same as Kariant Distribution or Publishers?expand_more
No. Katalyst is where businesses run their own referral programs. Distribution shares Kariant listing links, and Publishers is the ad network for website owners — each has its own docs.
Are commissions real money?expand_more
Commissions are Koins credited to your Kariant wallet — spendable across the platform. Converting to withdrawable cash follows the platform-wide rules, currently in a closed-loop launch posture.
