# Masternodes

## What are Masternodes?

Having a Base3D masternode unlocks your referral link. Anyone with more than 100 tokens automatically stakes them as masternodes in our smart contract. The masternode collects 33% of all buy-in transaction fees your referrals would otherwise pay and gives them to YOU directly instead! Masternodes not only allows you to bring additional players into the game but incentivizes you for doing so. No matter how big the contract gets your masternode will always grant a solid percentage off your referrals.
