# FAQ & Examples

### Examples

#### Example A: Simple Team

* Alice (Leader) invites Bob → Bob becomes Member.
* Bob invites Carol → Carol is Bob’s Referee, but under Alice’s team.
* When Bob trades: Alice earns 40% of the fee.
* When Carol trades: Alice earns 40% of the fee.
* Bob earns 0% from Carol.

#### Example B: Referral → Member Coexistence

* Zoe referred Dan months ago (Referral Program).
* Zoe later joins Alice’s team as a Member.
* When Dan trades:
  * Zoe still receives her referral share (from Dan’s own trading, as before).
  * Alice (Leader) receives nothing from Dan’s trading fees.

Any new users Zoe invites now become Referees under Alice’s team; Alice earns from them; Zoe does not.
