To the OGs Who Shared Peanut Before It Paid Them
You shared Peanut 40,000 times. You didn't do it for points.
You Did This Without Being Asked
You've shared Peanut 40,000 times. Nobody ran a campaign. Nobody promised you anything. You did it because the app solved a real problem, and you wanted the people around you to have the same thing.
You explained it to a friend at a cafe in Buenos Aires. You forwarded an invite link in a WhatsApp group because someone was tired of losing money every time they swiped a foreign card. You sat next to someone in Sao Paulo and walked them through scanning a MercadoPago QR for the first time.
That's how Peanut grew. The community drove it. People told people because the product worked.
The Old System Didn't Match Your Generosity
Here's the truth: our first rewards system was confusing. Points, levels, unclear mechanics. You'd invite five friends and have no idea what you earned or when you'd see it.
The old system didn't reflect how much the community was giving. You deserved better.
That ends today.
Real Money, Not Points
The new rewards system is built around one idea: finally giving you what you've been giving us.
You invite a friend. They use the app and make payments. You earn a percentage of the revenue Peanut makes from their activity. Not a one-time payment. Ongoing, for as long as they use the app. And when your friends invite their own friends, you earn from those connections too. Your network compounds.
New users get two surprise rewards after they start using the app. $0.35 after their first QR payment, then $0.65 after their second. They don't know it's coming. It just appears.
Rewards come from real activity — funded by the revenue generated by the people you invited. The more your network uses Peanut, the more you earn.
Claiming is simple. Your rewards accumulate as a pending balance in the app. When you make a payment, you get prompted to claim what you've earned. The money moves to your spendable balance. No extra steps, no separate buttons to hunt for.
Most referral programs give a one-time signup bonus. Peanut rewards keep going — every transaction, not just the first.
No tiers. No caps. No confusion. You share, your friends use the app, you earn real money. For country-specific details, check out the Argentina page or the Brazil page where many of our most active users are based.
A Moment I Keep Coming Back To
There was a meetup in Buenos Aires where I watched a user pull out their phone and start teaching a friend how to pay at a corner store using the app. No prompting from us. No script. They just knew the product and wanted someone else to have it.
That's when it hit me: the people using this app care more about it than any marketing hire ever could. It changed how I think about what we're building and who we're building it for.
I've seen the same thing happen in group chats, in family dinners, across countries. People showing each other how fast the money moves. The stories from our community say it better than I can.
This One's for You
If you've been here since the beginning, if you shared before there was anything to earn, if you explained Peanut to skeptical friends and proved it by sending them money on the spot: this is yours.
Your early sharing built what Peanut is today. The new rewards system means that growth now compounds for you. Every person you brought in, every friend of a friend who joins through your network, it all counts.
Your referral link is ready. The people you've already invited are already part of your network.
Thank you. Seriously.
