# Manager programs

Chamber runs a few programs that active managers can opt into. Most involve sharing fees with referrers or getting early access to new chains and features.

## Referral programs

Two separate referral programs exist. They're independent: you can enable either, both, or neither.

### Offchain referral program (performance + management fees)

A referrer earns a share of the **performance** and **management** fees generated by the depositors they bring in.

* Set in vault settings → **Manage Referral Program**.
* Two sliders: % of performance fees (0–100%), % of management fees (0–100%).
* Generates a referral link for that vault. Depositors arriving through the link are attributed to the referrer for as long as they hold.
* Optional toggle: **hide referral link from the vault page** (useful if you only want to share it directly).
* Disabled by default.

The sliders set **how much of your fee** goes to the referrer. The DAO takes its 10% protocol cut first, then the slider splits what's left. Example: 20% performance fee → 10% goes to the DAO → 18% (of profits) remains for the manager → 50% slider splits that 9%/9% between referrer and manager.

### Onchain referral program (entry fees)

A referrer earns a share of the **entry** fee paid by the depositors they bring in. Onchain, programmatic, and trackable.

* Set in vault settings → **Onchain Referral Program**.
* Two configs:
  * **Per-vault share**: override for this specific vault.
  * **Manager global default**: applies across all vaults you manage unless a vault overrides it.
* Share range: 0–100% of the entry fee.
* Disabled by default.

> Referral shares only take effect when **entry fees are enabled** for the vault. A vault with a 0% entry fee can't pay out an onchain referral share. There's nothing to share.

### Which program fits which use case

Offchain for long-term capital partners, onchain for wide-funnel referrals. Both can run in parallel.

## HyperEVM early access

HyperEVM (Perps + Spot) is a limited early-access program. Not every manager can deploy a vault there yet. Managers are onboarded in waves.

## DAO grants

The Chamber DAO occasionally allocates treasury funds to managers running strategies the ecosystem wants more of, e.g. a specific yield product, a market-making vault, or a new chain's anchor vault.

Proposals and past allocations live in [Governance](/governance-and-token/overview.md). If you have a vault idea that needs capital to bootstrap, start there.
