Global mining pool ViaBTC has upgraded its Ambassador Program to offer lifetime referral rewards for miners. According to reports from ViaBTC, approved ambassadors earn a 20% lifetime commission for every new user they refer, while referred users receive a 50% fee-discount coupon valid for 30 days. The program is designed for those with established mining communities, content audiences, or industry networks to build a sustainable, long-term income stream. As market sentiment improves and Bitcoin's hashprice has risen significantly, bringing renewed activity to mining communities after a prolonged slowdown, the timing aligns with increased industry participation.
The program has already proven successful for existing community members. As reported by ViaBTC, one ambassador operates a small-to-medium-sized mining farm in Southeast Asia and has spent the past two years actively participating in Telegram mining groups. After joining the ViaBTC Ambassador Program, some of the miners he had previously helped signed up through his referral link. "I used to help people simply because I wanted to. Now the commissions help cover some of my own expenses," he noted, explaining how the program transformed his existing community work into tangible financial rewards. Another North American content creator with a modest YouTube following added his referral link to video descriptions, converting recommendations into tangible income without additional work. "For me, it doesn't involve any extra work. It simply turns recommendations I was already making for free into something that benefits both sides," he explained, highlighting how the program leverages existing influence rather than requiring new business development.
The 20% lifetime commission structure provides significant long-term value for ambassadors. According to ViaBTC, if a referred miner generates 0.01 BTC in pool fees during a month, the ambassador would earn 0.002 BTC at the 20% commission rate. At a BTC price of 70,000 USDT, that commission would be worth approximately 140 USDT. Actual earnings vary based on fees generated by referred users and cryptocurrency price fluctuations, but consistent community managers can build growing income streams. The program's 50% fee-discount coupon for new users provides an immediate incentive for referrals, making it easier to attract mining pool comparisons and first-time miners to the platform.
Founded in 2016, ViaBTC celebrated its tenth anniversary in 2026. As reported by ViaBTC, the platform now serves more than two million users across over 150 countries and regions. The company has maintained consistent hashrate rankings among the industry's highest across multiple cryptocurrencies throughout multiple market cycles, providing ambassadors confidence in recommending a competitive mining pool brand. During the past decade, mining hardware has advanced rapidly, mining difficulty and network hashrates have shifted considerably, and the cryptocurrency market has experienced multiple cycles. Throughout these changes, ViaBTC has remained one of the world's leading mining pools, with its hashrate consistently ranking among the industry's highest across multiple cryptocurrencies.
The program extends beyond prominent industry figures to include veteran miners, content creators, ASIC miner vendors, and service providers. According to ViaBTC, individuals who already possess valuable industry expertise and have earned audience trust can leverage their existing networks. The program requires no additional work for existing community managers or content creators, simply transforming existing influence into ongoing referral rewards through the 20% lifetime commission structure. ViaBTC also offers additional VIP services and partnership support to leading community influencers and high-hashrate clients, beyond the standard lifetime commission, providing enhanced benefits for those with substantial mining communities or industry influence.
