   • If the auction takes place on another website, then the reward goes to the wallet address that is designated by the developer of that website.
     * Websites that want to claim this reward must call the createBidWithReferral function on the upgraded contract and pass the reward recipient as the _referral parameter.

3. Auction Reward - Optional and controlled by individual DAOs
