Note that 50% of withdrawals must be used to purchase new TronThunder packages.

This drops to 40% at VIP3 and 30% at VIP4.

There are eight affiliate ranks within TronThunder’s compensation plan.

Along with their respective qualification criteria, they are as follows:

Community Commissions

TronThunder pays community commissions via a straight-line downline.

Everyone who signs up as a TronThunder affiliate is placed in the line.

Positions are then filled via direct and indirect recruitment (in order of signing up).

Community Commissions are paid as 1% of TRX paid up to twenty levels above and twenty levels below.

  • Silver tier TronThunder affiliates receive Community Commissions across twelve above and twelve levels below them
  • Gold tier TronThunder affiliates receive Community Commissions across fourteen levels above and fourteen levels below them
  • Sapphire tier TronThunder affiliates receive Community Commissions across sixteen levels above and sixteen levels below them
  • Emerald tier TronThunder affiliates receive Community Commissions across eighteen levels above and eighteen levels below them
  • Ruby tier TronThunder affiliates receive Community Commissions across twenty levels above and twenty levels below them

Referral Commissions

TronThunder pays referral commissions via a unilevel compensation structure.

A unilevel compensation structure places an affiliate at the top of a unilevel team, with every personally recruited affiliate placed directly under them (level 1):

If any level 1 affiliates recruit new affiliates, they are placed on level 2 of the original affiliate’s unilevel team.

If any level 2 affiliates recruit new affiliates, they are placed on level 3 and so on and so forth down a theoretical infinite number of levels.

TronThunder caps referral commissions at seven unilevel team levels.

Referral commissions are paid as a percentage of 60% of tron paid in across these seven levels.

How many levels a TronThunder affiliate earns referral commissions on is tied to recruitment:

  • recruit one affiliate and receive 20% on level 1 (personally recruited affiliates) and 5% on levels 2 to 4
  • recruit two affiliates and receive 20% on level 1 and 5% on levels 2 to 5
  • recruit three affiliates and receive 20% on level 1, 5% on levels 2 to 5 and 10% on level 6
  • recruit five affiliates and receive 20% on level 1, 5% on levels 2 to 5 and 10% on levels 6 and 7

Conclusion

TronThunder is a simple pyramid scheme.

That TronThunder operates through cryptocurrency and a smart-contract is neither here nor there.

TTT is a simple TRC-20 shit token. These take five minutes to set up at little to no cost.

The reason TTT is used is so that when TronThunder collapses, JP Rademeyer are have and will make off with as much TRX as possible.

Their bagholding victims will be stuck holding worthless TTT tokens.

As with all MLM pyramid schemes, once recruitment inevitably slows down so too will commissions.

This will see TronThunder collapse, resulting in the majority of participants losing money.
