# SOVDEX Referral Program

SOVDEX UI / Front-End Provider Referral Program

**You, as a developer, can create an app or website with a user interface / front-end for SOVDEX.** **When users use your front-end to trade on SOVDEX, you will earn part of the trading fees. Higher quality UI/UX will qualify for the highest percent of fees (up to 25%) based on:**

1. Implementation of all smart-contract features (all trading pairs, SVX staking/unstaking, burn subsidy enabled, etc..)
2. Implementation of quality UX features such as showing slippage, average price, price before transaction is executed, price after transaction will be executed, current mining rate / bonuses, etc.. (calculations are provided in technical section of whitepaper)
3. Implementation of charts. Higher quality charts with technical indicators like those available from TradingView will be given special consideration.
4. General UI/UX flow and usability.

**UI / Front End providers will also have the ability to pay for their users CPU.** This is completely optional and customizable. It can be limited to only trades of X value or greater to ensure you are getting enough of a fee to justify it.&#x20;

The SOVDEX UI / Front-End Provider Referral Program not only helps to rapidly expand SOVDEX’s footprint, it is also necessary for a decentralized exchange to truly be decentralized, and safe from regulations.&#x20;

Please refer to the etherdelta / sec lawsuit for further information regarding “DEX” regulations <https://www.sec.gov/news/press-release/2018-258>

When the party that created the smart-contract is centralized and also providing the order book (SOVDEX will not have an order book) or website / UI displaying orders (again, no orders on SOVDEX) there is a chance for regulators to step in. Doing everything in a decentralized way neutralizes the risk of regulations .
