Referral program¶
Invite a friend to Nexus: you each receive 50 ₽ on your Nexus balance once your friend has used 500 ₽ of paid balance. The bonus can be spent on model requests.
These are the standard program terms. Open More → Invite friends in the bot for the current amounts and monthly limit.
Invite a friend¶
- Open the Nexus bot and select More → Invite friends.
- Tap Share invitation, then Choose a chat in Telegram.
- Choose a recipient and send the invitation. You can edit the message before sending.
- Your friend must open your link before their first payment. If they do not have an account yet, the bot will guide them through registration.
My link and code contains your permanent link and code. Use this screen if you prefer to paste the link into your own message. The code is already part of the link: your friend does not need to enter it separately, and there is no separate code entry form.
Opening the chat chooser does not send an invitation. You still need to send the message, and your friend needs to open its link.
When the bonus is credited¶
After the invitation is accepted, your friend's spending from paid balance builds progress towards 500 ₽. Once the requirement is met and the bonus is not on hold, you each receive 50 ₽. Each friend can earn you this bonus once.
A top-up alone does not earn the bonus: your friend needs to use the paid funds. They do not have to spend the whole amount in one request or in one month.
The bot notifies both participants when the invitation is accepted and when the bonus is credited. It may also notify them if a bonus is put on hold or reversed. You can check progress in the bot even if a notification has not arrived.
What counts towards progress¶
Spending on requests counts when it is paid for with funds from an actual top-up payment. If the balance contains both paid funds and bonuses, only the eligible paid portion of spending counts.
The top-up amount, request count and total balance are not measures of referral progress. Open Invited for the actual progress amount.
What does not count¶
- The free trial.
- Promo-code bonuses and extra top-up bonuses.
- Gift credits and support-issued balance vouchers (
NXV-…). - Referral bonuses.
- Partner earnings converted to Nexus balance.
- Free service credits and other free bonuses.
A support voucher is different from a paid purchase activation code (NXP-…). Funds from that purchase count under the usual rules; any extra bonuses do not. See the bot guide for more about codes.
Spending funds transferred from another account does not increase referral progress. A separate balance adjustment does not by itself confirm a payment. If a transaction cannot yet be confirmed, the bonus may be put on hold until it is checked.
Check progress¶
Open More → Invite friends → Invited.
The main screen shows this month's rewards and bonuses earned, plus the total number of friends still awaiting a bonus. Invited shows your total invites, total bonuses and a card for each friend with their progress and the amount remaining.
A friend appears as User •••1234: only part of their Nexus ID is shown, without their name or Telegram contact. Use the page controls to browse a longer list.
Card statuses:
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Making progress | The requirement has not been met; the card shows how much remains. |
| Bonus received | The bonus has been credited; the card shows the amount. |
| We're checking the transaction | The bonus has not been completed. This can also happen when the monthly limit has been reached. |
| Bonus cancelled after a refund | The related payment was refunded or cancelled, and the bonus was adjusted. |
Monthly reward limit¶
The default limit is 5 friends earning you a bonus per calendar month. It counts friends who meet the requirement that month, rather than links sent, registrations or the two individual bonuses.
Rewards received: N / 5 appears on the main screen and in Invited. If the limit changes, the bot displays the current value.
A new calendar month starts at 00:00 UTC on the 1st. Your friend's accumulated progress carries over. If they start using Nexus in one month and meet the requirement in the next, the reward belongs to the month when they meet the requirement.
If your friend reaches the threshold after your limit has been used, the bonus is put on hold and shown as We're checking the transaction. A new month does not automatically credit that bonus or lift the hold. Contact support if the status persists.
Refunds and cancelled payments¶
If a related payment is refunded or cancelled, including through a payment dispute, your friend's progress is recalculated. If the requirement is no longer met, both participants' previously credited bonuses are reversed. The transaction history remains available.
Check Invited and your balance history for current amounts and statuses. Contact support through the bot if you need help.
Example¶
Your friend has used 420 ₽ of paid balance. They need 80 ₽ more to earn the bonus.
Another 80 ₽ of eligible spending brings their progress to 500 ₽. If your monthly limit has not been reached and the bonus is not on hold, you receive 50 ₽ and your friend receives 50 ₽ on their Nexus balance.
Free trial or bonus spending does not replace that remaining 80 ₽.
Frequently asked questions¶
Who can take part, and who can I invite?¶
Users with active Nexus accounts can take part. Neither you nor your friend can be an active member of the partner program. You cannot use your own link.
Your friend must open the link before their first payment and must not already be linked to another referral invitation or a partner campaign.
Can I invite someone who already has an account?¶
Yes. Having an account alone does not prevent participation. An invitation can be accepted if there has been no payment or paid top-up credit, and no referral invitation or partner campaign has already been applied. Both accounts must meet the conditions above.
An unpaid top-up request or free trial use does not prevent participation on its own. An invitation cannot be applied retroactively after payment.
Does my friend need to enter a code?¶
No. They only need to open the link and complete registration if prompted. The code is already included in the link.
Does the free trial count?¶
No. It lets your friend try Nexus but does not increase referral bonus progress.
Do promo codes and bonuses count?¶
No. Bonus credits do not count, including referral bonuses, gift vouchers and other free funds. The paid portion of a purchase activated with an NXP-… code counts under the usual rules.
Why did progress not increase after use?¶
Check that the invitation was accepted and that spending came from paid balance. Bonus spending and top-ups alone do not increase progress. We're checking the transaction means the bonus is on hold. Contact support if the reason is unclear.
When exactly will the 50 ₽ be credited?¶
When eligible spending reaches 500 ₽, provided the monthly limit has not been reached and the transaction is not on hold. Look for Bonus received and the credit in balance history.
Can I withdraw the bonus or transfer it to another user?¶
No. Referral bonuses are for using Nexus. They cannot be withdrawn as money or transferred to another user. Transfer balance moves only the remaining paid funds and leaves bonuses on the original account. The bot shows both amounts before the transfer.
What happens after I reach the monthly limit?¶
You can keep sharing your link, and friends can keep building progress. A new bonus will be put on hold when they reach the threshold. These rewards are not automatically carried over for payment next month.
When does the limit reset?¶
At the start of each calendar month in UTC. Progress carries over, but a previously held bonus is not credited automatically.
What happens after a refund or payment dispute?¶
Progress is recalculated. If the related payment no longer supports meeting the requirement, the bonuses are reversed. The history remains available.
Why does the status say “We're checking the transaction”?¶
The bonus has not yet been confirmed, or the monthly limit has been reached. Check the status in the bot and contact support if you need help. Opening the link again does not lift a hold.
The link was opened, but the invitation was not accepted. What should I do?¶
Finish registration if prompted and check the bot's response to the invitation. The link may be unavailable. Your own link, an earlier payment or an existing referral invitation or partner campaign can also prevent acceptance. An accepted invitation cannot be replaced with another link. If the response is unclear, contact support under More.
How is Referral different from Partner?¶
Regularly bring users to Nexus as a creator, community owner or product developer? See the separate partner program.
