# Earning & Referrals

Users of the **Permission Agent Chrome Extension** can earn ASK through referral activity and milestone bonuses.

> ⚠️ **Disclaimer:** This page is for informational purposes only and does not constitute financial, investment, or legal advice. ASK is a utility token used within the Permission platform. It is not an investment product. See [Terms of Use](https://www.permission.ai/terms-of-use) for full details.

**Referral Earnings**

When you refer someone to Permission and they become an active user, you earn ASK tied to their ongoing activity within the ecosystem.

* **You earn 10% of the ASK your direct referrals earn** — automatically, on an ongoing basis
* As your referrals refer others and those users earn ASK, your earnings compound through the network
* Referral earnings are calculated monthly and deposited into your Permission Wallet on the **15th of each month**
* All earning opportunities are opt-in and presented clearly within the Permission Agent Chrome Extension
* Rewards are transparent and participation is always voluntary

**Milestone Bonuses**

As your referral network grows, you unlock additional ASK through milestone bonuses. Milestone thresholds and bonus amounts are disclosed within the Permission Agent Chrome Extension.

**Milestone Bonuses**

As your referral network grows, you unlock one-time ASK bonuses at the following thresholds:

| Milestone                                  | Bonus                                        |
| ------------------------------------------ | -------------------------------------------- |
| 5 direct referrals                         | 5,000 ASK                                    |
| 10 direct referrals                        | 10,000 ASK                                   |
| One of your referrals reaches 10 referrals | 10,000 ASK (you) + 5,000 ASK (your referral) |

Milestone bonuses are deposited into your Permission Wallet on the 15th of the month following the milestone being reached.

**Holding and Using ASK**

ASK earned through referrals and milestones can be held in your Permission Wallet or moved to a compatible external wallet for trading or redemption.

See [Trading & Liquidity](https://docs.permission.ai/ask-token/trading-and-liquidity) and [Contract Addresses](https://docs.permission.ai/ask-token/contract-addresses) for more.

**Security Reminders**

* Permission will never ask for your private key or wallet credentials
* Referral earnings and milestone bonuses are only accessible through your official Permission account
* For support, contact <support@permission.ai>

Permission reserves the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the referral program at any time, with or without notice. Continued participation in the referral program constitutes acceptance of any such changes. See [Terms of Use](https://www.permission.ai/terms-of-use) for full details.
