Affiliate Program

Program Overview

OROKAI's affiliate program is one of the most innovative and generous in the crypto industry, featuring:

  • Multi-level earnings (3 levels deep: A → B → C)
  • TVL-based tier system (5 tiers: Basic to Legend)
  • Lifetime attribution (no time limits, no caps)
  • Flexible allocation (optimize your strategy at Pro+ tiers)
  • NFT transferability (sell your affiliate business as an asset)
  • All revenue sources (earn from cards, swaps, staking, bridges, on/off-ramp)

This program rewards both recruiters and network builders, incentivizing sustainable growth while maintaining our non-custodial principles.

Core Philosophy

Affiliates earn a share of OROKAI's revenue (not user funds). We grow together when the platform succeeds. No pyramid scheme—real value creation through software and services.

Tier Structure

OROKAI uses a TVL-based tier system to reward active participants, not just recruiters. The more capital you and your network manage through OROKAI, the higher your earning potential.

Complete Tier Breakdown

TierTVL RangeLevel A (Direct)Level B (2nd Level)Level C (3rd Level)Total MaxFlexible Allocation
Basic$0 - $10k10%0%0%10%No
Premium$10k - $100k15%0%0%15%No

VIP$1M - $10M22%6%2%30%±4 percentage points
Legend$10M+25%10%5%40%±6 percentage points

What Do Levels A, B, C Mean?

Level A: Direct referrals (people YOU invited) Level B: Indirect referrals (people your referrals invited) Level C: Third-level referrals (people invited by Level B)

Example Structure:

YOU (Legend Tier)

├─ Alice (Level A - you invited her directly)
│ └─ Bob (Level B - Alice invited Bob)
│ └─ Carol (Level C - Bob invited Carol)

└─ Dave (Level A - you invited him directly)
└─ Eve (Level B - Dave invited Eve)

When Carol transacts:
├─ Bob earns from Level A (his direct referral)
├─ Alice earns from Level B (if her tier allows)
└─ YOU earn from Level C (if your tier allows - Legend does!)

Flexible Allocation Explained

Starting at Pro tier, you can adjust percentage allocation between levels to optimize your strategy.

Pro Tier (±2 points):

Default: 20% (A) + 5% (B) = 25% total

Valid adjustments:

  • 22% (A) + 3% (B) = 25% (focus on direct recruiting)
  • 21% (A) + 4% (B) = 25%
  • 19% (A) + 6% (B) = 25%
  • 18% (A) + 7% (B) = 25% (focus on network building)

VIP Tier (±4 points):

Default: 22% (A) + 6% (B) + 2% (C) = 30% total

Example adjustment:

  • 26% (A) + 2% (B) + 2% (C) = 30% (max focus on directs)
  • 18% (A) + 10% (B) + 2% (C) = 30% (empower your network)
  • 20% (A) + 6% (B) + 4% (C) = 30% (balance)

Legend Tier (±6 points):

Default: 25% (A) + 10% (B) + 5% (C) = 40% total

Example adjustment:

  • 31% (A) + 4% (B) + 5% (C) = 40% (recruit-heavy strategy)
  • 19% (A) + 16% (B) + 5% (C) = 40% (Level B super-charged)
  • 25% (A) + 4% (B) + 11% (C) = 40% (deep network focus)

Why This Matters:

Different strategies for different users:

  • Influencers/Large audiences: Max out Level A (you recruit thousands directly)
  • Community builders: Boost Level B (your referrals are great recruiters)
  • Network effect maximizers: Invest in Level C (exponential growth at depth)

Changes are instant and can be adjusted anytime in your dashboard.

TVL Calculation

How Your Tier is Determined

Your tier is based on Total Value Locked (TVL) which includes:

Your Total TVL = Sum of your own deposits to OROKAI wallet and all below:

  • 100% of Level A deposits (direct referrals)
  • 100% of Level B deposits (indirect referrals)
  • 100% of Level C deposits (third-level referrals)

Calculated at: Moment of payout (real-time snapshot)

**Example:**

Scenario: Alice wants to know her tier

Alice's own deposits: $500,000

Alice's referral network:
├─ Level A (5 direct referrals):
│ └─ Bob: $200k, Carol: $300k, Dave: $100k, Eve: $150k, Frank: $50k
│ └─ Subtotal: $800,000

├─ Level B (referrals from Alice's Level A):
│ └─ Bob invited 3 people: $400k total
│ └─ Carol invited 2 people: $200k total
│ └─ Subtotal: $600,000

└─ Level C (referrals from Alice's Level B):
└─ Bob's referrals invited 5 people: $300k total
└─ Subtotal: $300,000

═══════════════════════════════════════════════
Alice's Total TVL:
$500k (own) + $800k (A) + $600k (B) + $300k (C) = $2,200,000

Alice's Tier: VIP ($1M-$10M range)
Alice earns: 22% (A) + 6% (B) + 2% (C) = 30% of OROKAI fees

Key Insights:

Network multiplier: Alice's $500k personal investment becomes $2.2M TVL through her network (4.4x multiplier)

Tier progression: Even small personal deposits can reach Legend tier through strong recruiting

Snapshot-based: TVL recalculated at every payout, so your tier can change dynamically

Note: If Alice's referrals withdraw funds, her TVL decreases and tier may drop (recalculated at next payout)

Multi-Level Mechanics

How Earnings Flow

Understanding how money flows through the affiliate structure:

Basic Principle:

User makes transaction → OROKAI earns fee → Affiliates share revenue → Paid in same token

Multi-Level Distribution Example:

Network Structure:

YOU (Legend: 25% A, 10% B, 5% C)

└─ Alice (Pro: 20% A, 5% B) [YOUR Level A]

└─ Bob (Premium: 15% A) [YOUR Level B, Alice's Level A]

└─ Carol (Basic: 10% A) [YOUR Level C, Bob's Level A, Alice's Level B]

Carol swaps $10,000 USDC → ETH
├─ DEX LP fee (0.05%): $5
├─ OROKAI routing fee (25% of LP): $1.25
└─ This $1.25 is available for affiliate distribution

Who Earns What:

1. Bob (Carol's direct inviter - Carol is Bob's Level A):
├─ Bob is Premium tier: 15% (A only)
├─ Bob earns: $1.25 × 15% = $0.1875 USDC

2. Alice (Bob's inviter - Carol is Alice's Level B):
├─ Alice is Pro tier: 20% (A), 5% (B)
├─ Carol is Alice's B-level (2 levels deep from Alice)
├─ Alice earns: $1.25 × 5% = $0.0625 USDC

3. YOU (Alice's inviter - Carol is YOUR Level C):
├─ You are Legend tier: 25% (A), 10% (B), 5% (C)
├─ Carol is YOUR C-level (3 levels deep from YOU)
├─ YOU earn: $1.25 × 5% = $0.0625 USDC

═══════════════════════════════════════════════
Total affiliate payout: $0.1875 + $0.0625 + $0.0625 = $0.3125
OROKAI keeps: $1.25 - $0.3125 = $0.9375 (75%)

Key Observations:

Relative position matters: Carol is Level A for herself, Level B for Alice, Level C for YOU

Token-native payouts: Earned in USDC because the original fee was in USDC

Cascading requires tier depth: Only Pro+ tiers benefit from multi-level structure

Flexible Allocation Strategies

Starting at Pro tier, affiliates can adjust their percentage allocation to optimize earnings based on their network's characteristics. This feature allows you to adapt your strategy as your network evolves.

Why Flexible Allocation Matters

Different affiliates have different strengths:

Strategy A: "Direct Recruiter"

  • You have a large audience (YouTube, Twitter, podcast)
  • You recruit hundreds/thousands of direct users
  • Your referrals don't recruit much themselves
  • Optimal allocation: Maximize Level A percentage

Strategy B: "Network Builder"

  • You recruit fewer people, but high-quality recruiters
  • Your referrals are excellent at building their own networks
  • Exponential growth happens at Level B/C
  • Optimal allocation: Shift percentage to Level B or C

Strategy C: "Balanced Growth"

  • Mix of direct recruiting and network building
  • Keep default allocation or minor adjustments
  • Optimal allocation: Stay near default or adjust based on data

Allocation Ranges by Tier

Pro Tier (±2 percentage points):

Default: 20% (A) + 5% (B) = 25% total

Valid Range:
├─ Level A: 18% - 22%
└─ Level B: 3% - 7%

Examples:
- 22% A + 3% B = 25% (recruiter-heavy)
- 21% A + 4% B = 25%
- 19% A + 6% B = 25%
- 18% A + 7% B = 25% (network-heavy)

Invalid:
- 23% A + 2% B = 25% (A changed by 3, exceeds ±2 limit)
- 17% A + 8% B = 25% (both exceed ±2 limit)

VIP Tier (±4 percentage points):

Default: 22% (A) + 6% (B) + 2% (C) = 30% total

Valid Range:
├─ Level A: 18% - 26%
├─ Level B: 2% - 10%
└─ Level C: 0% - 6%* (*if you shift 2pts away from C, it goes to 0%)

Examples:
- 28% A + 2% B + 0% C = 30% (max direct focus)
- 20% A + 10% B + 0% C = 30% (empower Level B)
- 18% A + 6% B + 6% C = 30% (deep network focus)
- 20% A + 8% B + 2% C = 30% (balanced adjustment)

Note: You can't go below 0% for any level, so adjust accordingly.

Legend Tier (±6 percentage points):

Default: 25% (A) + 10% (B) + 5% (C) = 40% total

Valid Range:
├─ Level A: 19% - 31%
├─ Level B: 4% - 16%
└─ Level C: 0% - 11%* (*if you shift 6pts away, 5% - 6 = -1% → 0%)

Examples:
- 31% A + 4% B + 5% C = 40% (influencer strategy)
- 26% A + 16% B + 0% C = 40%
- 19% A + 10% B + 11% C = 40% (deep network maximization)
- 25% A + 10% B + 5% C = 40%

Real-World Strategy Examples

Example 1: YouTube Crypto Educator (Pro Tier)

Profile:
├─ 500k YouTube subscribers
├─ Drives 5,000 direct signups (Level A)
├─ But viewers don't recruit others (small Level B)
└─ Monthly revenue potential: $8,000 from Level A

Initial setup (default): 20% A + 5% B
├─ Level A earnings: $7,500
├─ Level B earnings: $500
└─ Total: $8,000/month

After analyzing data → Adjust to: 22% A + 3% B
├─ Level A earnings: $8,250 (+$750)
├─ Level B earnings: $300 (-$200)
└─ Total: $8,550/month (+$550 = 6.9% increase)

ROI: Better optimization for their network type.
Example 2: Community Builder (VIP Tier)

Profile:
├─ Manages DeFi education Discord (10k members)
├─ Recruits only 50 direct users (Level A) - but they're power users
├─ Those 50 each recruit 20+ people (large Level B: 1,000+ users)
├─ Level B users also recruit (moderate Level C: 500+ users)
└─ Monthly revenue potential: $15,000 total

Initial setup (default): 22% A + 6% B + 2% C
├─ Level A earnings: $2,000 (50 users, high activity)
├─ Level B earnings: $9,000 (1,000+ users, moderate activity)
├─ Level C earnings: $4,000 (500+ users, low activity)
└─ Total: $15,000/month

After analyzing data → Adjust to: 18% A + 10% B + 2% C
├─ Level A earnings: $1,636 (-$364)
├─ Level B earnings: $15,000 (+$6,000)
├─ Level C earnings: $4,000 (unchanged)
└─ Total: $20,636/month (+$5,636 = 37.6% increase)

ROI: Massive optimization by empowering the strongest layer.

Dashboard Previews by Tier

Each tier sees progressively more detailed analytics. Here's what affiliates see at each level.

Basic Tier Dashboard

What Basic sees:

  • Own TVL + network TVL (aggregated)
  • Total referrals (Level A only)
  • Earnings breakdown
  • Top contributors
  • Progress to next tier

What Basic does NOT see:

  • Level B/C details (doesn't have access)
  • Individual transaction breakdown (only totals)
  • Advanced analytics

Pro Tier Dashboard

*What Pro sees (vs Basic):

  • Level B network visibility
  • Earnings breakdown by level
  • Flexible allocation controls
  • Individual Level A performance (who recruits best)
  • Basic analytics and recommendations

Legend Tier Dashboard

What Legend sees (vs Pro):

  • Level C network visibility (3-level deep)
  • Advanced analytics (health scores, viral coefficient)
  • Revenue projections
  • Individual network tree view (drill down to any user's structure)

NFT Transferability

Sell Your Affiliate Business

This is OROKAI's most innovative feature — the ability to sell your entire affiliate network as an NFT asset. This has never been done before in crypto affiliate programs.

How It Works

Every OROKAI account has a dedicated affiliate NFT that can be minted at any time. This NFT represents:

NFT Contents:

  • Your complete referral tree (all Level A, B, C users)
  • Smart contract rights to future earnings from this tree
**Key Mechanism:**
BEFORE Transfer:
├─ Alice owns NFT #12345
├─ Alice's referral tree: 100 Level A + 500 Level B + 2000 Level C
├─ Alice earns: $5,000/month from this network
└─ Alice's tier: Legend (based on her $15M TVL)

Alice mints and sells NFT to Bob for $200,000:

AFTER Transfer:
├─ Bob now owns NFT #12345
├─ Bob receives ALL future earnings from Alice's tree
├─ Bob's tier: Determined by BOB's own TVL (not Alice's)
│ └─ If Bob has $50k TVL → Premium tier (15% A only)
│ └─ If Bob has $20M TVL → Legend tier (25% A, 10% B, 5% C)
├─ Alice loses access to those referrals (permanent transfer)
└─ Alice keeps: Her own OROKAI account + can build NEW network

Why This Is Revolutionary

Traditional Affiliate Programs:

  • Earnings tied to your account forever
  • Cannot sell, transfer, or liquidate
  • If you stop promoting, earnings decay
  • No exit strategy
  • No asset value

OROKAI with NFT Transfer:

Affiliate network = liquid asset

Can be sold on open market (OpenSea, Blur, etc.)

Exit strategy for affiliates (cash out empire)

Inheritance / estate planning possible

Investors can buy performing networks

Creates secondary market for affiliate businesses

Valuation Framework

How much is an affiliate NFT worth? Market will decide.

Basic Valuation Model:

NFT Value ≈ (Monthly Earnings × 12-36 months) × Quality Multiplier

Transfer Process

Step 1: Mint Your NFT (One-Time)
├─ Go to Dashboard → Affiliate → [Mint NFT]
├─ Pay network gas fee (one-time, ~$10-50 depending on chain)
├─ NFT minted to YOUR wallet
└─ NFT ID: Unique identifier (e.g., OROKAI-AFF-#12345)

Step 2: List for Sale (Optional)
├─ List on OpenSea / Blur / LooksRare / any NFT marketplace
├─ Set your asking price (or accept offers)
├─ Include metadata: earnings history, network size, growth rate
└─ Buyers can verify on-chain before purchasing

Step 3: Transfer NFT (Permissionless)
├─ Buyer purchases NFT (peer-to-peer)
├─ Smart contract automatically:
│ ├─ Transfers referral tree ownership
│ ├─ Updates earning recipient to new owner
│ └─ Disables your access to those referrals
├─ No OROKAI approval needed (fully decentralized)
└─ Instant settlement (atomic transaction)

Step 4: Post-Transfer
├─ New owner receives earnings starting NEXT payout cycle
├─ Seller keeps: Pending unpaid earnings from BEFORE transfer
├─ Seller can immediately start building NEW network
└─ Referral tree users remain unaffected (transparent to them)

Risk Disclosures

Valuation Risk:

  • No guaranteed buyers (illiquid asset)
  • Market may value lower than you expect
  • Network earnings can decline (not guaranteed)
  • Buyer's tier affects earnings (if buyer is Basic, earnings drop)

Transfer Risks:

  • Irreversible (cannot undo after transfer)
  • Pending earnings before transfer still go to seller
  • Network may decay if new owner doesn't maintain relationships
  • Tax implications vary by jurisdiction (consult tax advisor)

Regulatory:

  • NFT sale may be taxable event in your jurisdiction
  • Some jurisdictions may restrict NFT sales
  • OROKAI does not facilitate sales (peer-to-peer only)
  • No buyer/seller protections from OROKAI (use escrow if needed)

Technical:

  • Must secure your wallet (losing NFT = losing income)
  • Smart contract risks (audited but not zero-risk)
  • Network congestion may delay transfers
  • Gas fees can be significant during high demand

Not a Pyramid Scheme

This section addresses the most critical regulatory concern: Is OROKAI's multi-level affiliate program a pyramid scheme?

Short answer: NO. Here's why:

Pyramid Scheme vs Legitimate Multi-Level Marketing

Pyramid Scheme (Illegal) Characteristics:

  • Primary income from recruiting (not product sales)
  • Requires upfront investment/purchase to participate
  • No real product or service (just recruitment)
  • Unsustainable (relies on infinite growth)
  • Most participants lose money
  • Emphasis on "getting rich quick"

OROKAI Affiliate Program (Legal) Characteristics:

  • Income from REAL revenue (users transacting on platform)
  • No cost to join (free to become affiliate)
  • Real product/service (non-custodial DeFi platform)
  • Sustainable (earnings tied to platform usage, not recruitment)
  • Most participants CAN profit (if they provide value)
  • Emphasis on building valuable networks
CriteriaPyramid Scheme (Illegal)OROKAI Affiliate Program (Legal)
Barrier to EntryMust buy inventory, pay membership fee, etc. Creates financial risk for participantsFree to join affiliate program. Free to use platform (non-custodial). Zero financial risk to become affiliate
Revenue SourceMoney flows from new recruits to old recruits. No external revenue source Zero-sum game (someone must lose)Money flows from USER TRANSACTIONS (swaps, staking, cards) OROKAI earns from providing real service (software) Affiliates earn % of OROKAI's earnings Positive-sum (value created via platform utility)
Product UtilityProduct has no value without recruitment structure Recruitment IS the productDeFi platform has standalone value (aggregation, AI, UX) Users would use OROKAI even without affiliate program Affiliates accelerate growth, but not the core value prop Product value independent of affiliate structure
Economic SustainabilityRequires infinite growth (exponential recruitment) Mathematically guaranteed to collapse Unsustainable by designRevenue tied to transaction volume (can grow or shrink) Affiliate earnings scale with actual usage If platform grows → more revenue → more affiliate earnings If platform shrinks → less revenue → less affiliate earnings Sustainable (self-regulating based on real demand)

OROKAI Specific Safeguards

Disclosure & Transparency

Terms clearly state:

  • Earnings are NOT guaranteed
  • Income depends on referral activity (variable)
  • OROKAI may change terms with 30-day notice
  • No promises of specific returns
  • Affiliates are independent (not employees)

Dashboard shows:

  • Exact earnings breakdown (Level A/B/C)
  • Where revenue comes from (transaction types)
  • Historical performance (not future projections)
  • Real-time data (no inflated claims)

Marketing guidelines prohibit:

  • "Guaranteed income" claims
  • "Get rich quick" messaging
  • Misleading income representations
  • Impersonating OROKAI officially

Anti-Pyramid Design Elements

TVL-Based Tiers (Not Recruitment-Based):

  • Tier determined by capital deployed, not # of recruits
  • Prevents pure recruitment focus
  • Aligns with real platform usage

Caps on Multi-Level Depth:

  • Max 3 levels (A/B/C)
  • Prevents infinite-depth pyramid structure
  • Most earnings from Level A (direct), diminishing returns at B/C

Real Product Dependency:

  • Affiliates earn ONLY when referrals transact
  • No earnings from signup alone
  • Incentivizes quality referrals (active users)

No Recruitment Quotas:

  • No minimum recruits required
  • No pressure to recruit to maintain status
  • Purely optional (can use OROKAI without participating)

Independent Platform Value:

  • Non-affiliate users get full platform benefits
  • No disadvantage for not being referred
  • Affiliate program is growth tool, not core business model

What Affiliates CANNOT Do (Compliance)

PROHIBITED:

  • Claiming "guaranteed returns" or specific income amounts
  • Presenting OROKAI as "investment opportunity" (it's software)
  • Misrepresenting risks (must disclose crypto volatility)
  • Impersonating OROKAI officially (can't claim to speak for us)
  • Spamming or unsolicited outreach (violates anti-spam laws)
  • Targeting restricted jurisdictions (sanctions compliance)
  • Making securities law violations (promising profits from others' work)
  • Pyramid-style recruiting (emphasizing recruitment over product utility)

ALLOWED:

  • Explaining how OROKAI works (educational content)
  • Sharing your own experience (testimonial with disclaimers)
  • Disclosing affiliate relationship ("I earn if you use my link")
  • Creating comparison content (vs other platforms)
  • Building community around DeFi education
  • Earning referral income from real user activity

Enforcement:

Affiliates violating these rules face:

  • Warning (first minor offense)
  • Suspension (repeated violations)
  • Permanent ban + forfeiture of earnings (severe violations)
  • Legal action if causing significant harm to OROKAI or users

Public Statement

Official OROKAI Position

OROKAI Affiliate Program Legal Status:

The OROKAI affiliate program is a legitimate revenue-sharing arrangement where affiliates earn commissions on OROKAI's software service fees generated by users they refer. Key legal characteristics:

  1. No cost to join (free affiliate participation)
  2. Earnings derived from real economic activity (platform usage)
  3. Product has standalone value (DeFi aggregation/AI/UX)
  4. Sustainable model (tied to transaction volume, not recruitment)
  5. Clear disclosure (variable earnings, no guarantees)
  6. Compliant with multi-level marketing laws in our operating jurisdictions

This is NOT a pyramid scheme, investment contract, or securities offering. Affiliates are independent marketers, not employees or investors. OROKAI reserves the right to modify program terms with appropriate notice.

For questions about legality in your jurisdiction, consult local counsel. OROKAI does not provide legal advice.
