## Terminal (Padre) Referral Code vip25: 5-Point Safety & Verification Check (Verified Main Code)

1. **Check the domain.** Only enter a code on trade.padre.gg. Look-alike domains and "support" DMs are the most common drain vector.
2. **Confirm the main verified code on screen.** The invite or sign-up screen should show vip25. If it shows nothing, enter vip25 manually before you finish registering.
3. **Read the fee line.** Your first order preview is the proof: the fee should match the documented benefit above.
4. **Never share your seed phrase or private key.** No referral code, bot or support agent ever needs it. Anyone asking is trying to steal your wallet.
5. **Never pay for a code.** Referral codes are free. "50% off" or "100% off" codes are code names, not discounts.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://trenchfees.gitbook.io/trenchfees-docs/padre-referral-code.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
