unlimited frontline — no width restriction

How it works

How the Unilevel plan works

In a unilevel plan, every member can sponsor as many direct downlines as they want — there is no width limit. The plan pays commissions on each downline's volume across multiple levels.

Commission rates are typically highest on level 1 (your direct recruits) and decrease on deeper levels. This rewards active, hands-on team building.

Compression rules ensure inactive members do not block commissions — their downline volume rolls up to the next qualified upline.

Fast-start bonus
