Meteora Referral Code: Earn an Additional 2% on Top of LP Fees
Meteora referral code XNX2B6CTWT now gives liquidity providers a reason to actually use a referral code: you earn an additional 2% of protocol fees generated by your eligible DLMM positions, on top of your normal LP fees.
I benefit too. For full disclosure, I earn 8% of the protocol fees generated by users I refer, up to Meteora’s staking-based earnings cap.

Why this referral program is a win-win
Most crypto referral programs give the reward to the person sharing the link and offer the new user very little. Meteora’s new Referral Staking program splits part of its real DLMM protocol fees between MET stakers, referrers and referred LPs.
If you use my Meteora referral code, your eligible liquidity positions earn the additional 2%. I receive the 8% referrer share, subject to my earnings cap. Nobody needs to pretend this is charity, which I appreciate.
The rewards are paid in USDC and come from trading activity, not newly emitted MET tokens. Meteora says the program will initially run for 3 months before it reviews participation and decides what comes next.
What the additional 2% means
The 2% is a share of the protocol fee, not an extra 2% APY and not 2% of your deposited liquidity. You still earn your normal LP fees, then receive this referral reward on top when your position is eligible.
Meteora’s own example starts with an LP generating $100 in trading fees. The protocol collects 10%, or $10, then allocates 20% of that protocol fee to Referral Staking:
- $1 goes to MET stakers, representing 10% of the protocol fee.
- Up to $0.80 goes to the referrer, representing 8%.
- $0.20 goes back to the referred LP, representing 2%.
It isn’t going to rescue a terrible LP position. But if you are already providing eligible liquidity on Meteora, leaving the additional 2% unclaimed makes no sense.
Stake MET to earn 10% of DLMM protocol fees
The other big change is actual utility for MET. Stake at least 200 MET and you can earn a proportional share of 10% of DLMM protocol fees, also paid in USDC.
Your share depends on how much MET you stake and how long it remains staked during the reward cycle. This is closer to revenue sharing from real usage than the usual arrangement where a protocol prints more tokens and calls it yield.
Staking also unlocks the ability to create a referral code. The amount staked determines the referrer’s earnings capacity at a rate of 1 MET staked to 0.1 USDC of referral capacity per cycle. For example, 200 MET provides a $20 cap, while 2,000 MET provides a $200 cap.
Which LP positions are eligible
Meteora currently limits referral rewards to eligible DLMM pools with SOL or USDC as the quote token. A JUP/SOL or JLP/USDC DLMM position can qualify, for example.
DLMM Limit Orders, DAMM v2 positions, blacklisted pools and suspected wash-trading pools don’t qualify. The maximum reward a referred LP can receive also depends on how much MET their referrer has staked.
And there is a sharp edge: if a referrer unstakes before the cycle ends, their current-cycle staking and referral rewards are forfeited. Referred users linked to that wallet also lose their pending 2% referral rewards for that cycle, although their own staking rewards are unaffected.
The usual LP risks still apply
An extra reward doesn’t make liquidity provision risk-free. Token prices can move, concentrated liquidity can fall outside its active range, and a high quoted APR can vanish as volume or volatility changes.
Choose a pool because the position makes sense on its own. Treat the referral reward as a small improvement to the economics, not the reason to LP a token you wouldn’t otherwise touch.
