## 💰 Commission Structure

### How Commissions Work

When your referrals trade, you earn a percentage of the platform fee (1% of trade volume).

**5-Tier Commission System:**
- **Tier 1** (Direct Referrals): **25%** of platform fee
- **Tier 2** (Their Referrals): **3.5%** of platform fee
- **Tier 3** (Third Level): **2.5%** of platform fee
- **Tier 4** (Fourth Level): **2%** of platform fee
- **Tier 5** (Fifth Level): **1%** of platform fee

### Example Breakdown

If your direct referral makes a 1 SOL trade:
- Platform fee: 0.01 SOL (1%)
- Your commission: 0.0025 SOL (25% of fee)

If their referral trades 1 SOL:
- Platform fee: 0.01 SOL
- Your Tier 2 commission: 0.00035 SOL (3.5% of fee)

**Key Points:**
- Commissions are tracked automatically
- Earnings accumulate in real-time

## ❓ Common Questions

**Q: Do my referrals need to trade for me to earn?**  
A: Yes, commissions are earned only when your network members actively trade on the platform.

**Q: What if my invite allocation runs out?**  
A: Request a tier upgrade through the community or admin. Active members with quality referrals are prioritized.

**Q: Can I see who I've referred?**  
A: For privacy, the dashboard shows counts only. Specific user data is not displayed.

**Q: Do commissions expire?**  
A: No, your earned commissions accumulate indefinitely until you claim them (Phase 2).

**Q: What if someone uses my code but doesn't trade?**  
A: You don't earn commissions from inactive users, but they count toward your network size for tier upgrades.

**Q: Is there a limit to earnings?**  
A: No limits! The more your network trades, the more you earn. Build a 5-tier network for maximum passive income.
