# Network Expansion

The activity of inviting new Users to register a Node. When a new Node registers via a referral link: the referring Node receives **5 FC locked**, and the referred Node receives **10 FC locked**. FC unlocks only when the referred Node completes its first Peer Meet. This is the anti-abuse mechanism — fake accounts cannot be created to collect FC.

In Standard Mode, the referring Node receives **50% of the Mining Rate the referred Node achieves through Peer Meet**, plus **10% of the Mining Rate each time the referred Node activates a 24-hour Mining Session**.

Nodes that meet eligibility criteria may switch to Revenue Share Mode: receiving 30% of their direct referral network's revenue in USDT or bank transfer, in exchange for a 40% reduction in total Mining Rate. Qualifying Nodes may switch between Standard Mode and Revenue Share Mode once per month.
