How commission is shared
A commission has no money of its own. It divides the pool a fee sets aside, across six cells over two pathways.

What a commission is
The formula answers one question: when a fee is charged, who upstream of the person who paid it gets a share, and how much.
A commission is the rule for sharing the commission pool of one fee. The fee decides how much is set aside from each charge; the commission decides who gets it. It has no money of its own, so the first thing the form asks for is the fee.
Because it inherits the fee's resource (task, bonus, token claim or project) and chain, both are fixed the moment the commission exists.
What is in the pool
When a farmer pays a fee, the platform's share is settled first. Then the fee's commission rate is applied to the charge and that slice becomes the pool. Everything the formula shares out comes from the pool — nothing else — and whatever the pool does not pay out stays with you.
Who is paid: pathways and stakeholders
The platform walks up the paying farmer's referral chain on the project and pays the people it finds according to the formula.
- The direct pathway pays the farmer's own sponsor — the person whose invite they joined with — and the farmer themself. When that sponsor is a leader (an affiliate or influencer), the leader takes the residual and the chain stops there.
- The indirect pathway only applies when the sponsor is a regular farmer. It pays the leaders above: the nearest affiliate, and the nearest influencer above that, who takes the residual.
The six cells of the formula are direct → invitee, direct → farmer, indirect → affiliate, direct → affiliate, direct → influencer and indirect → influencer. Each cell carries a percentage of the pool in the network coin, and, where allowed, a token reward.

Assigned cells and residual cells
Three cells are assigned: you type the percentage, and the platform caps both each cell and their total.
Three cells are residual: the affiliate or influencer who leads the chain takes whatever is left of the pool after the assigned shares. You do not type a number for a residual cell. This is what stops a chain paying out forever — a leader absorbs the remainder and the walk stops there.
When a leader directly sponsored the paying farmer, that leader owns the residual and the chain stops at them. The platform team can switch this leader override off, in which case the leader is treated like any other upline.
If no leader is reachable above the paying farmer, there is no residual owner and the undistributed part of the pool stays with you. A banned member forfeits their share for that charge; a residual owner's leftover then falls through to you in the same way.
Token rewards
A cell can also grant points or tokens alongside the coin share. On a fee for a token claim or the project, token rewards are switched off automatically: a claim is the very thing farmers were earning points for, and a payout on it must not mint new points.
Starting from the defaults
A new commission's formula is pre-filled with the platform's default sharing formula. Edit any assigned cell before saving; the defaults are a starting point, not a requirement.
Naming it for affiliates
The instruction is what an affiliate reads when deciding whether the commission is worth promoting. Say what earns it — "bring farmers who complete the launch task" — rather than what it is called. The description is internal.
Editing
The name, description and instruction can change at any time. The formula can be replaced, and the replacement applies to the next charge, not to anything already collected. The fee, the resource and the chain stay as they were.
