# Marketing Structure & Placement
> How RWANFTFI places users into a 22-level binary marketing tree with up to 8,388,606 positions, weakest-branch auto-placement, permanent sponsor links, and spillover from upline invites.
When a user activates an NFT, they are permanently placed into a marketing
structure with a maximum depth of 22 levels — holding up to
**8,388,606 positions** when fully filled.
Smart contract places new users using "weakest branch, left to right"
algorithm. No manual positioning needed.
Each participant is permanently linked to their sponsor.
Changes are impossible — blockchain is immutable.
Upline sponsors' invites may land in YOUR structure automatically.
You earn tree distribution rewards from spillover under standard
marketing terms — the Sponsor Bonus, however, goes to the actual
inviter, not to you.
## How does placement in the marketing tree work?
Your first 2 invites fill your Level 1 (left and right position).
Next invites go to Level 2 under the weakest branch.
Your structure grows exponentially: 2 → 4 → 8 → 16 positions per level.
When your upline sponsors invite more people than their Level 1 can hold,
those users spill into YOUR tree. You earn from them automatically.
Your NFT level determines how deep you earn.
Genesis (L1) earns from 2 levels. Infinity (L10) currently earns
up to **19 levels** in Phase 1 — and up to the full **22 levels**
once Phase 2 is activated by DAO vote (planned Q4 2026), which
unlocks marketing levels 16–22. Per-tier depths are listed in
[All 10 Tiers at a Glance](/en/nft-ecosystem#all-10-tiers-at-a-glance).
## How is Tree Distribution paid per level?
Each level of the marketing structure has a fixed number of positions and a corresponding reward percentage. Your NFT level determines how deep into this structure you can earn.

**Multi-accounting is strictly prohibited.** The system enforces
a one-user, one-account policy with built-in tracking.
**Sponsor is permanent.** Once placed in the tree, your sponsor
cannot be changed. Choose wisely before activating your NFT.
**Sponsor must be an active tree node.** When a new user is registered through `registerUser()`, the smart contract does not accept any existing user ID as a sponsor — the supplied sponsor must be an **active node in the marketing structure**. Concretely, the sponsor must:
* Hold an **active NFT** in the system, and
* Be **registered in the tree** as a live node (tree node active).
An **identity-only mapping** — a wallet that has been assigned a user ID but does not currently hold an active NFT — can no longer sponsor new invites. This prevents new participants from being placed under inactive sponsors, blocks the creation of dead branches in the structure, and preserves the integrity of every sub-tree's reward flow.
