# Builder & Network Bonus

Your Ofero network can generate additional XP as the people you introduce to the ecosystem become active.

There are two related systems:

**Network Bonus** rewards network activity.

**Builder** rewards members who build an active chain of PLUS members.

## Network Bonus

You can receive XP based on the activity of two network levels.

#### Level 1

People you referred directly:

**20% of their eligible XP**

#### Level 2

People referred by your Level 1 members:

**10% of their eligible XP**

This bonus is added by the system.

It does **not** reduce the XP received by the person generating it.

### How Network XP Is Calculated

The Network Bonus is calculated from the member's XP after their:

**Flow + Ring**

but before their:

**Builder + PLUS**

This means someone having Builder or PLUS does not increase the base amount of XP that flows up through your network.

Your own multipliers can then increase the Network Bonus you receive.

### PLUS Network Boost

If you have active PLUS, your received Network Bonus gets an additional:

**×1.2 on Level 1**

**×1.1 on Level 2**

### Builder

Builder is an additional status for members who create a chain of active PLUS members.

The structure is:

**You have PLUS**

↓

**Your direct referral has PLUS**

↓

**Their referral has PLUS**

When all three links are active, you qualify for the Builder badge.

### Builder Multiplier

Builder gives:

**×1.25 XP**

It applies to **every XP action**, including Network Bonus XP.

The multiplier does not increase based on the size of your network.

Whether you have 5 people or 500 people below you:

**Builder remains ×1.25.**

### When Builder Activates

Builder activates immediately.

As soon as the third required PLUS membership is paid, the badge can apply to the next XP you earn.

### Losing Builder

Builder eligibility is recalculated once per day.

If one of the required PLUS memberships expires, the Builder badge can be removed during that recalculation.

Previously earned XP is not changed.

### Build Activity, Not Just Numbers

The Network Bonus is based on activity.

Builder is based on an active PLUS chain.

Together, they reward members who build a network that actually uses the Ofero ecosystem.
