Polymarket Referral Payouts — Daily Distribution
About this dataset
PolyScalping reconstructs Polymarket's Referral Rewards distribution end-to-end from on-chain Polygon Transfer events on the dedicated Referral distributor wallet. Every payout since the programme launched is captured — 89,324 payouts to 5,810 unique recipients between 2026-03-25 and 2026-06-05.
System contracts (the pUSD contract, USDC.e contract, Disperse, the distributor wallet itself, Polymarket Treasury, V2 exchange contracts, sponsor-rewards contracts) are filtered out before aggregation so the totals reflect real recipients only. Denominated in USDC / pUSD (1:1 USD).

Monthly Referral distribution timeline
Frequently asked
What does this referral payouts distribution page show?
Lifetime, daily, monthly totals for every Polymarket referral commission payout — aggregated from on-chain Polygon Transfer events emitted by the referral distributor wallet. Polymarket pays referrers a share of the gross trading fees their referees generate during the first 180 days: 30% from direct referrals (users who signed up via your link) plus 10% from indirect referrals (users brought in by your direct referrals). For wallet-by-wallet rankings, the full programme rules, and the 180-day boost mechanics see the referral leaderboard.
How is the daily total computed?
We sum every Transfer event from Polymarket's referral distributor wallet on Polygon, bucketed by the day of the on-chain block timestamp. System addresses (pUSD/USDC.e contracts, Disperse, the distributor wallet itself, treasury, V2 exchange contracts, sponsor-rewards contracts) are filtered out before aggregation so the totals reflect real referrer wallets only.
Why are there so few referrer wallets compared to LP or maker?
Polymarket gates referral eligibility behind $10,000 in lifetime trading volume — you can't qualify as a referrer until you've crossed that threshold. That eliminates virtually every drive-by user; only established traders participate. The result is a referrer pool on the order of a few thousand wallets (vs. 80k+ for LP and maker, 200k+ for Holding Rewards). The median referrer's lifetime earnings are correspondingly higher — referrers are pre-selected to be active, network-connected traders. See the leaderboard for the full per-wallet ranking.
Where does this data come from?
On-chain Transfer events on Polygon, scanned daily by the PolyScalping reward-ledger cron at ~02:00 UTC. We watch each Polymarket distributor wallet directly — no third-party aggregators, no scraping. System addresses (the pUSD contract, USDC.e contract, Disperse.app, distributor wallets themselves, treasury, V2 exchange contracts, sponsor-reward contracts) are filtered out before aggregation so the totals reflect real recipients only.
How often does the data refresh?
Once a day. Referral payouts settle daily at midnight UTC via on-chain Transfer events; our cron picks up the new events at ~02:00 UTC and the page revalidates hourly via Next.js ISR.
