Mentorship Rewards (Layer 2)
Purpose
This page explains how mentorship and network-building generate additional rewards within the Arkada Referral System through Mentorship Rewards (Layer 2).
Layer 2 builds on top of Direct Referrals (Layer 1) and exists to reward contributors who onboard, support, and develop other contributors whose referred users actively complete quests on Arkada.
Mentorship Rewards recognize guidance, coordination, and long-term support, not one-off introductions or passive referrals.
All rewards across user-facing layers are drawn from the same contributor allocation, and total earnings across layers cannot exceed the system-wide cap of 40%.
How It Works
Mentorship Rewards (Layer 2) operate as follows:
You onboard or mentor other contributors (your “mentees”).
Users referred by your mentees complete quests on Arkada.
You earn a fixed mentorship reward share based on the value generated by each mentee.
These rewards stack on top of your Direct Referral earnings (Layer 1), subject to the overall system cap.
Key points:
The mentorship reward share is fixed at 10% per mentee.
Rewards are proportional to each mentee’s performance, not pooled or averaged.
Only quest-driven activity generated by mentees is counted.
Supporting actions (training, coordination, advice) are instruments, not KPIs.
The system incentivizes ongoing mentorship: active mentees generate ongoing rewards.
Arkada reserves the right to review mentorship relationships and reward calculations manually where necessary to ensure fairness and prevent abuse.
Example Calculations (Stacking in Practice)
The Mentorship Rewards layer is not capped by the number of mentees. Earnings scale based on how many second-level contributors you onboard and how well they perform, while always respecting the system-wide cap.
Scenario
You qualify for Tier 1 in Direct Referrals (Layer 1) with a 30% referral share
You directly onboard 5 contributors
Each of those contributors refers users who complete quests
Quest-driven value generated by second-level contributors:
Contributor A: $1,200
Contributor B: $900
Contributor C: $1,500
Contributor D: $800
Contributor E: $600
Total second-level value generated: $5,000
Step 1: Calculate Mentorship Rewards (Layer 2)
Mentorship reward share: 10% per contributor
$5,000 × 10% = $500 in Mentorship Rewards
This value is earned automatically as quests are completed by second-level users.
Step 2: Combine with Direct Referral Earnings (Layer 1)
Assume your direct referrals generate:
Direct referral value: $6,000
Layer 1 earnings: $6,000 × 30% = $1,800
Total Earnings (Layer 1 + Layer 2)
Direct Referrals (Layer 1): $1,800
Mentorship Rewards (Layer 2): $500
Total combined earnings: $2,300
This example demonstrates how Mentorship Rewards scale horizontally with the size and performance of your network, while stacking vertically on top of Direct Referrals.
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
Primary KPI (generates rewards):
Quest completions generated by users referred by your mentees
Supporting activities (instruments):
Training and onboarding mentees
Sharing best practices
Coordinating or hosting joint initiatives
Only quest-driven activity generates rewards. Supporting actions help improve mentee performance but do not generate rewards directly.
Tracking & Transparency
Your profile page provides full visibility into Mentorship Rewards, including:
Quest-driven value generated by your mentees
Earnings from Mentorship Rewards
Combined earnings across user-facing layers
Progress relative to the system-wide cap
This allows you to track mentorship impact clearly and plan collaboration strategically.
Key Takeaways
Mentorship Rewards incentivize leadership and long-term support
Rewards are tied to real quest completions, not appearances or reach
Mentorship Rewards stack on top of Direct Referrals
The mentorship reward share is fixed at 10% per mentee
Total earnings across user-facing layers are capped for sustainability
Strong, active contributor networks compound over time
