Tiers and multipliers let you reward users differently based on their activity level, trading history, or any segmentation criteria. Power users unlock better rates; new users start at a fair baseline.
Both features use audiences — user segments defined by static lists or dynamic conditions — to apply different reward rates.

Tiers
Tiers assign different reward rates to different user segments. The highest-matching tier wins — tiers never stack or compound.
Example: Tiered affiliate commissions

5%
A Gold-tier affiliate earns 20%, not 20% + 10% + 5%.
Configuration: In your incentive payout terms, create one payout group per audience:
Payout group 1: audience = "Gold" → commission = 20%
Payout group 2: audience = "Silver" → commission = 10%
Payout group 3: (no audience) → commission = 5% ← default fallback
The system evaluates all groups the user qualifies for and applies the highest rate.
If a user belongs to multiple audiences, only the highest-value payout group is applied. Tiers never compound.
Multipliers
Multipliers scale a user's effective contribution when calculating pool shares. A 3× multiplier triples the weight of their volume in the pool calculation — giving them a proportionally larger slice of the pool.
Example:
User
Volume
Multiplier
Effective value
Alice
$50,000
3× (Gold)
$150,000
Bob
$30,000
2× (Silver)
$60,000
Carol
$20,000
1× (Default)
$20,000
Alice's pool share = $150K / $230K ≈ 65% (vs 50% without multipliers).
With fair (square root) distribution:
When a user qualifies for multiple multipliers, only the highest multiplier applies.
