Affiliate program
The affiliate program opens later.
Refer people who are new to HIPS, whether they build with AI inference or provide GPU capacity, and earn Commissions on what they pay for inference and on what HIPS pays them for GPU time, for a set period after they join.
Join early access and HIPS will let you know when the program opens.
Already have a HIPS account? Refer and earn will appear in the Console when the program opens.
We are inviting early-access interest while we develop the platform.

How it will work
- 01
Get your link and code.
Once you have passed identity verification, which always includes a face check, Refer and earn in the Console shows your referral link and code. There is nothing else to apply for.
- 02
Share them.
When someone new to HIPS arrives through your link, or enters your code when they create their account or make their first credit top-up, the referral is yours. The first referral recorded for a person is the one that counts.
- 03
They get a discount.
A customer you refer gets a discount on a first credit top-up of at least a minimum amount, added to their account as credit.
- 04
Referrals qualify.
A referral qualifies when the customer makes their first paid top-up, or the provider receives their first paid payout, and it passes HIPS's checks. Your Commissions become payable once enough of your referrals have qualified.
- 05
You earn Commissions.
For a set period after each referral, you earn a share of what the customer pays for inference and of what HIPS pays the provider for GPU time. Each Commission is held for a period before it can be paid, and is reversed if the payment it came from is refunded, disputed or forfeited.
- 06
You get paid.
Payouts run monthly once your balance reaches the payout threshold, to a bank account by default, through the payout methods HIPS uses for GPU earnings. Your account will show the methods that apply to you. Before anything is paid, you accept the Affiliate Program Agreement and connect a payout account.
Who can join
Anyone with a HIPS account who passes identity verification can take part, whether they buy inference, provide GPU capacity, or both. You can refer people who are new to HIPS: someone who already has an account, or who joins an existing team's workspace, cannot be referred.
Program rules
The Affiliate Program Agreement sets the full terms. Three rules matter most:
- 01
No self-referral.
You cannot refer yourself, another account of yours, or anyone acting together with you. Referrals are checked against verified identities.
- 02
No misleading or spam promotion.
Describe HIPS accurately, never promise prices, earnings or availability that HIPS has not published, and never send unsolicited messages.
- 03
No bidding on the HIPS name.
Do not buy search or social ads on the HIPS name, or on variations or misspellings of it.
HIPS may suspend your participation, end it, or close the program with notice, as the Affiliate Program Agreement provides. When the program or your participation ends, Commissions that are payable or pending are still paid; Commissions are forfeited only for fraud established after review.
Questions
- Do I need to spend anything to join?
- No. You need a HIPS account, and buyers, GPU owners and people who are both can all take part.
- Can I refer myself or my own team?
- No. Referrals of yourself, of another account of yours, or of someone who already has an account are not counted, and neither is a member invited into an existing workspace.
- When is a Commission paid?
- After its hold, once your Commissions are payable and your balance reaches the payout threshold, in the next monthly payout. Refer and earn shows your Commissions as totals and when they become payable.
- Can I see who I referred?
- No. Refer and earn shows your referrals only as totals, never one referral on its own, and never a referred person's name, email, account or what they paid or were paid. Until you have enough referrals in a role, it shows only how many you have.
- What happens if a payment is refunded?
- The Commission on it is reversed. The same applies to a disputed payment and to provider earnings that are forfeited.
- Where are the rates?
- This page shows each of the program's numbers once it is set. The Affiliate Program Agreement and Refer and earn show the terms that apply to you.
- What if someone I referred objects?
- A person you referred can object to HIPS using their data for the program, or have it erased. HIPS then stops counting their payments for you from that moment, and the Commissions already recorded stay as they are, subject to the Affiliate Program Agreement.
