# Invites and teams

> **In short**
> Invite friends with your link. You both get a bonus when they join, and you earn every time they start a mining session, plus a smaller amount when their friends do. Milestones and weekly team goals add more.

## How invites pay

![How an invite pays, two steps deep.](diagram:invites)

| When | You get | Today's setting |
| --- | --- | --- |
| A friend joins and adds you as their inviter | A bonus, and so do they | 10 LIA each |
| A friend you invited starts a mining session | A reward, every time | 1 LIA |
| Someone your friend invited starts a session | A smaller reward, every time | 0.2 LIA |

New members also get **10 LIA** when they pick their username, and mine at twice the speed for their first 3 days.

## Milestones

The more friends you bring who actually mine, the bigger the bonus. Each milestone counts friends who have mined at least once, and pays once.

| Friends who mined | Reward |
| --- | --- |
| 1 | 2.5 LIA |
| 3 | 7.5 LIA |
| 5 | 15 LIA |
| 10 | 40 LIA |
| 25 | 120 LIA |
| 50 | 300 LIA |
| 100 | 750 LIA |

## Weekly team goals

Your team is the friends you invited. Each week (Monday to Monday, UTC) Lia adds up the $LIA they mined, and you earn as the team passes each goal.

| Your team mined this week | You get |
| --- | --- |
| 50 LIA | 15 LIA |
| 200 LIA | 60 LIA |
| 500 LIA | 150 LIA |

Your team also boosts your mining speed: each friend mining at the same time as you adds 5%, up to 50%.

## Why invites pay this way

Rewards follow activity, not sign ups. A friend who joins and never mines earns you the joining bonus and nothing more. A friend who shows up every day earns you something every day. That keeps invites honest: the way to earn more is to bring people who will actually enjoy Lia.
