# 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:

1. **You onboard or mentor other contributors** (your “mentees”).
2. **Users referred by your mentees complete quests** on Arkada.
3. You earn a **fixed mentorship reward share** based on the value generated by each mentee.
4. 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
