Optimization Directions for the Base Chain Referral Mechanism

Here's an idea: Base should support a permanent, on-chain stored referral code system within applications.

How exactly would it work? Referrers can permanently receive a share of the transaction fees generated by the users they invite. This revenue is enforced directly by smart contracts to ensure transparency and trustworthiness.

There are many benefits to this approach—first, users' invitation actions become a long-term asset rather than a one-time onboarding reward. Second, this mechanism can significantly boost community-driven promotion because the benefits are ongoing and predictable.

From another perspective, on-chain referral codes can also reduce the platform's customer acquisition costs, as the incentives are distributed to each contributor. For the ecosystem, this is like building a self-reinforcing growth engine—early contributors continue to profit, and new users learn about the platform through referrals, creating a positive feedback loop.
