Phantom's Referral Terms already define a Creator Tier (escalated fee share, custom splits, per-campaign tracking, a Creator Agreement), and the new Growth Partnerships Lead is building the US influencer program "from zero to one". But phantom.com has no page for it: /creators, /affiliates, /partners and /referral all return 404, and the only referral page in the sitemap is the legal terms. A creator who searches "Phantom affiliate program" today finds terms, not a way in.

Why it works
Publish one /creators page: who it is for (crypto educators, trading and prediction-market creators, newsletters), what the Creator Tier offers in plain words, a short application (channels, audience country, topics), the promotion rules from section 12 (no paid search on "Phantom", disclose the relationship), a brand kit link and a library of approved claims for spot, perps and predictions. Route applications to the partnerships team with a fit score, and link the page from the footer next to Press Kit.
Inbound applicants self-select and arrive pre-briefed, so the first hire spends time signing and supporting partners instead of cold-sourcing them, and every creator starts from compliance-approved wording.
