Your mining rate isn't fixed — it grows with your network. Referrals are the single biggest lever most miners haven't fully used yet, so here's how the mechanics actually work.
The bonus is permanent, not one-time
A lot of referral programs pay out a one-off bonus and stop there. PLX Network's works differently: every active referral adds a lasting boost to your PLX/hr rate. It doesn't expire, and it doesn't reset — it just keeps compounding as your network grows.
Active vs. inactive matters
Your Referrals tab shows a live split between active and inactive miners in your network. Only active referrals — people currently running mining sessions — contribute to your rate bonus. If a referral goes inactive, their bonus contribution pauses until they start mining again. This is why the "Active miners" ring on your dashboard is worth checking regularly, not just your total referral count.
There's no cap
Some platforms limit how many referrals count toward your bonus. PLX Network doesn't — every active miner you bring in adds to your rate, whether you have 5 or 500.
Practical ways to grow your network
- Share your referral code directly with people who'd actually use it — conversion matters more than volume
- Check in on inactive referrals; a quick nudge is often enough to bring them back to active status
- Use the share button on your Referrals tab to generate a link instead of typing your code manually
Combined with badge bonuses and your base rate, an active referral network is the fastest way to meaningfully move your PLX/hr number over time — and unlike badges, it keeps growing as long as you keep inviting.
