# For DeFi Protocols

If you run a DeFi protcol you can incrase the protocol volume by launching a web3 referral program on ShareMint. Lido were able to increase staked ETH on the platform by over $2b using their referral program.

Reward affiliates with a portion of the revenue they generate for the protocol or tokens.

There are several DeFi protocols who managed to increase their volume drastically by launching a referral program. You can find a number of case studies [here](https://blog.sharemint.xyz/defi-case-studies).
