Collaborative Pools
Purpose
Join Pools (Layer 3) are designed to amplify referral performance through coordinated collaboration, without changing how referrals are tracked or how rewards are paid.
Joint Pools allow contributors to work together under a shared structure to reach higher referral tiers faster, while each participant continues to earn rewards individually through their own referral activity.
Joint Pools do not create new referral links, do not pool rewards on-chain, and do not override individual ownership of referrals.
They function purely as a tier amplifier.
How Joint Pools Work
At a high level:
A Joint Pool is created by a qualified Mentor and approved by the Arkada team.
Contributors join the pool voluntarily using their existing referral setup.
Each contributor continues to:
use their own referral link,
onboard users independently,
earn rewards directly to their wallet.
The combined performance of the pool is used to determine a pool-level tier.
Each pool member temporarily benefits from the highest eligible tier achieved by:
their personal performance, or
the pool’s aggregated performance.
Rewards are still calculated per user, paid instantly on-chain, and remain fully transparent in the profile page (Performance Hub).
What Joint Pools Do (and Do Not Do)
Joint Pools DO
Amplify referral tiers through collaboration
Reward coordination and collective execution
Help smaller or newer contributors access higher tiers faster
Enable mentors to structure cohorts and learning groups
Stack on top of Layer 1 and Layer 2, within system caps
Joint Pools DO NOT
Create shared wallets or pooled balances
Replace individual referral tracking
Delay or batch payouts
Bypass system caps or safeguards
Override Arkada’s right to review or revoke participation
Tier Amplification Logic
Joint Pools are treated conceptually like a contributor when it comes to tier evaluation.
Pool performance is measured using the same quest-driven value logic as individual referrals.
If the pool qualifies for a higher tier than a member’s personal tier:
the higher tier applies for that member while they are in the pool.
If a member’s personal tier is higher:
their personal tier takes precedence.
Tier amplification is dynamic, adjusts automatically, and reflects current performance — no snapshots.
Entry, Lock Period & Membership Rules
Joining a pool is permissionless, subject to pool rules and Arkada approval.
Once a user joins a pool, they are locked in for 1 month.
During the lock period:
The user cannot exit the pool.
Referral activity continues normally.
After the lock period:
Exits are allowed.
Tier amplification adjusts accordingly.
This design:
prevents pool hopping,
limits abuse,
keeps the system simple and predictable.
Rewards & Payouts
All rewards are paid instantly on-chain, at the moment a quest completion generates value.
Rewards are sent directly to each contributor’s wallet.
Joint Pools do not delay, aggregate, or redistribute payouts.
Pools influence which tier applies, not how or when funds move.
Contribution Performance
Pool performance is based on contribution performance, meaning:
Quest completions generated by all pool members
Normalized value derived from those completions
Fully visible and traceable in each user’s Performance Hub
Higher contribution → higher tier → higher referral share.
Governance & Safeguards
Joint Pools are mentor-defined and Arkada-approved
Arkada reserves the right to:
review pool structures,
remove abusive participants,
dissolve pools if necessary,
adjust tier eligibility where anomalies are detected
All actions prioritize fairness, sustainability, and abuse prevention
Key Takeaways
Joint Pools amplify tiers, not rewards ownership
One referral link per user — always
Rewards are individual, instant, and on-chain
Pool membership is locked for 1 month
Collaboration increases earning potential
System caps and safeguards always apply
Joint Pools reward coordination and execution, not shortcuts.
