1. Overview
TokenPortal is a global AI token aggregation and distribution platform. To accelerate market expansion, TokenPortal opens its Partner Program to individuals and enterprises worldwide, offering tiered progressive rebates based on monthly API consumption.
1.1 Principles
- Multi-supplier, real-time pricing: The same model may come from multiple suppliers with different margins. Actual rebate rates reflect real-time supplier pricing.
- Consumption-based rebate, monthly settlement: Rebates are calculated on bound customers' API consumption, settled monthly.
- Tiered progressive rebate: Higher monthly consumption → deeper rebate tiers. Calculated automatically.
- Two-tier distribution cap: Maximum 2 levels per local regulations.
2. Becoming a Partner
TokenPortal uses a two-tier progression: Promoter → Partner.
| Role | Requirement | Benefits | Withdrawable |
|---|---|---|---|
| Promoter | Apply to become a promoter | Tiered rebates + 3 business models | ❌ Rebates as API credits (spend only) |
| Partner | Individual: promoters with ≥ $300 monthly consumption; Enterprise: directly after enterprise verification | All promoter benefits + admin dashboard + sub-distribution + withdrawable + open API | ✅ Rebates to withdrawable balance |
Protection period: First 90 days after becoming a Partner — rebate rates +5pp on all tiers + auto-unbind disabled.
2.1 Path to Partner
Individual: User → Apply as Promoter → Refer customers → Monthly consumption ≥ $300 → Apply for Partner → KYC + agreement → Review → Partner
Enterprise: Enterprise verification → Apply for Partner directly (skip Promoter) → Review → Partner
2.2 Partner Exit
- Apply via admin dashboard → platform review
- On exit: stop new customer binding, unbind existing customers, settled rebates withdrawable, pending rebates settled based on current month
- Settlement completed within 15 business days → account demoted to regular user
3. Rebate System
3.0 The Single Model: The Tiered Rate Is Your Wholesale Discount
Your compensation is not a commission paid on top of the sale price — it is the discount at which you buy from the platform. "Rebate" and "plan margin" are two names for the same money; they do not stack.
Anchored on the Platform Guide Price (L):
rₘₐₓ = (L − Base Price B) / L maximum discount the platform can offer
r = min(tiered rate, rₘₐₓ) your effective discount on that ModelSKU
wholesale = L × (1 − r) what you pay the platform
your earnings = S − wholesale S = what the customer actually pays
platform net = S − your earnings = wholesale ≥ B
- S = L (sold at guide price) → earnings =
L × r— the classic "rebate" - S > L (marked up) → earnings =
(S − L)+L × r— markup plus rebate - S < L (discounted) → earnings =
S − L(1−r)— the discount you give comes out of your own earnings - S < wholesale → negative earnings; the platform still collects the wholesale price

3.1 Calculation Base
- Base = what bound customers actually pay (excludes partner's own consumption) — metered API
calls at the sales-spec price, platform plans at the plan's discounted price, your own plans at
your price. This same figure
Sboth determines your tier bracket and drives the earnings formula. - Excluded: promotional credits, free quotas, test tokens
3.2 Tiered Progressive Rebate Table
Progressive brackets like personal income tax — each bracket uses its own rate, weighted sum:
| Monthly Consumption (USD) | Rebate Rate |
|---|---|
| $0 ~ $700 | 15% |
| $700 ~ $1,500 | 20% |
| $1,500 ~ $3,000 | 25% |
| $3,000 ~ $6,000 | 30% |
| $6,000 ~ $12,000 | 35% |
| $12,000 ~ $20,000 | 40% |
| $20,000 ~ $40,000 | 45% |
| $40,000 ~ $70,000 | 50% |
| $70,000+ | Custom |
Example ($4,500 monthly): $700×15% + $800×20% + $1,500×25% + $1,500×30% = $105 + $160 + $375 + $450 = $1,090
3.3 Model Rebate Cap
- Actual discount = min(tiered rate, rₘₐₓ)
rₘₐₓ = (Platform Guide Price − Base Price) ÷ Platform Guide Price— anchored on the guide price, not the base price and not the supplier cost. Meaning: after giving this much away, the platform still nets its base price.- Example: supplier cost 45 / base markup 5% → base price ≈ 47.37; guide price 100 →
rₘₐₓ ≈ 52.6% - Updates in real time with supplier pricing; visible on the partner dashboard
- When
rₘₐₓ ≤ 0the model yields no rebate — the platform makes no margin on it, so there is none to share. This is correct behaviour, not a defect.
⚠ This clause previously read "determined by supplier cost vs platform base price", i.e.
(base price − supplier cost) / base price. That form algebraically collapses to the base markup rate itself (~5%) and is incompatible with the 15%–50% tier table. Superseded 2026-07-29.
4. Customer Binding
4.1 Binding
- Customers register via partner's referral link/code → auto-bound on first registration
- Channels:
referral_link/invite_code/sdk_app - First-bind priority: earliest registration binding wins
- Continuous attribution: no monthly renewal needed
4.2 Unbinding
| Scenario | Trigger | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Customer inactive 2 consecutive months | Auto | Unbound, returns to public pool |
| Customer requests transfer | Customer submits + platform review | Old binding released |
| Partner voluntarily releases | Admin dashboard action | Immediate |
| During protection period (90 days for Partners) | Inactivity does NOT trigger auto-unbind | Protected |
5. Secondary Distribution
| Item | Rule |
|---|---|
| Eligibility | Partners only |
| Level cap | Maximum 2 levels |
| Management fee | Level-1 gets 5% of level-2 team's monthly consumption |
| Fee source | Paid by TokenPortal platform (not deducted from level-2 rebates) |
6. Settlement & Withdrawal
- Partner initiates settlement via dashboard, flexible cycles (monthly to annual)
- Settlement completed within 3 business days
- Withdrawal: minimum $10, processed within 3 business days
- Tax: self-filed by partners
- Disputes: submit within 5 business days of settlement
7. Anti-Fraud & Violations
| Level | Behavior | Penalty |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Exaggerated claims, minor complaints | Written warning |
| Level 2 | Malicious pricing, induce unbinding, multi-account farming | Rebate deduction + 90-day new binding suspension |
| Level 3 | Fraudulent consumption, fake registrations, data leaks, 3rd+ tier | Permanent ban + rebate clawback + legal action |
Related account detection: same phone/document/payment/IP/ownership → flagged, consumption excluded.
8. Incentives
| Incentive | Condition | Reward |
|---|---|---|
| Protection period | First 90 days as Partner | +5pp rebate on all tiers |
| First-order bonus | First month consumption ≥ $700 | $70 test tokens |
