The Platform
The commission engine is the product
An MLM platform enrols members, places them in a genealogy, tracks sales volume, applies a compensation plan, and pays out. Every part of that is straightforward except the commission calculation — and that one part determines whether the business works.
Most off-the-shelf MLM scripts get the dashboards right and the maths approximately right. Approximately is not good enough when a member disputes a figure from four cycles ago and you cannot reproduce how it was calculated.

Where MLM platforms fail
Four failures that break member trust
Commission runs take days and still get disputed
Payout calculation across a deep tree is done by spreadsheet or a fragile script. Every cycle someone finds a discrepancy, and proving the correct figure takes longer than the run itself.
Deterministic commission engine that recomputes any historical cycle on demand
Members cannot see their own network
Distributors ask their upline for downline counts and earnings because there is nowhere to look. Support becomes a reporting service, and members lose trust in numbers they cannot verify.
Live genealogy tree and earnings breakdown in every member dashboard
Plan changes break everything
Adjusting a percentage, adding a rank, or changing carry-forward rules means editing formulas scattered across a codebase. Nobody is confident the change will not corrupt last month’s figures.
Versioned compensation plan — new rules apply forward, history stays intact
Payouts are manual and slow
Someone exports a list and sends transfers by hand. It does not scale past a few hundred members, and every batch carries the risk of a wrong address or a duplicated payment.
Automated batch settlement with on-chain proof and reconciliation
Compensation Plans
Every plan structure, modelled as rules
Percentages and thresholds live in configuration, not in code. Changing a rate is an admin action with an audit entry, not a deployment.
Most common
Binary
Two legs per member, with configurable pairing ratios, carry-forward on the weaker leg, and capping rules.
Simple to explain
Unilevel
Unlimited width, commission paid to a defined depth, with per-level percentages and compression.
Forced spillover
Matrix
Fixed width and depth — 3×3, 5×7, or custom — with spillover placement and cycle bonuses.
Advanced
Hybrid
Binary pairing plus a unilevel matching bonus, or matrix with a rank overlay. Most mature plans end up here.
Retention
Rank & leadership
Qualification volumes, rank advancement, generational bonuses, and pool distributions on top of the base plan.
Configurable
Bonus overlays
Fast-start, matching, residual, and pool bonuses configured as separate rules against the same volume ledger.
Commission Engine
Built so you can prove any number
The difference between a platform that survives its first disputed payout and one that does not.
Deterministic recalculation of any past commission cycle
Versioned plan rules — history never rewrites itself
Volume ledger separate from payout ledger
Configurable capping, flushing, and carry-forward
Compression handling for inactive members
Clawback logic for refunds and chargebacks
Dry-run mode before any live commission run
Full audit export per member, per cycle

How We Work
From plan document to first payout run
Model the plan
We encode your compensation plan as explicit rules and run it against simulated networks. Ambiguities surface here, on paper, rather than in production during a payout run.
Contracts and engine
Smart contracts for settlement and the off-chain commission engine are built and tested together, including edge cases like refunds, compression, and rank downgrades.
Dashboards
Member genealogy and earnings views plus the admin console ship next, with every figure traceable back to a specific rule and cycle.
Audit and launch
Contract review, load testing on deep trees, and a parallel run against your existing figures before cutover. Discrepancies get resolved before anyone is paid.
Why Ethersofts
Why operators choose us to build it
The maths is the product
We treat the commission engine as the core system and the interface as a view onto it. Most vendors do this the other way round.
Replayable, not just correct
Any historical cycle can be recomputed and compared. Disputes become a query rather than an argument.
Contracts you can audit
Settlement logic on-chain, documented, and reviewable — with an external audit coordinated where you need one.
Deep trees stay fast
Genealogy and volume rollups designed for tens of thousands of members without a nightly batch that takes hours.
Compliance is your call, supported
We build KYC, geo-restriction, and reporting hooks so your plan can meet whatever your jurisdiction requires.
Yours to run
Full source, contracts, and documentation. No licence renewal, no revenue share, no vendor holding your network hostage.
We build software. Network-marketing regulation varies by jurisdiction and the legality of a given compensation structure is a question for your legal counsel, not your development partner. We support whatever compliance controls your lawyers specify.

FAQ
MLM software development, answered
If your question isn't here, ask it. You'll get a real answer from an engineer within 24 hours — not a sales pitch.
MLM software manages a network-marketing business: member enrolment and placement in the genealogy, sales and volume tracking, commission calculation against a compensation plan, rank advancement, and payouts. The commission engine is the core — everything else is reporting built on top of the numbers it produces.
Binary, unilevel, matrix, and hybrid plans, plus overlays such as fast-start, matching, residual, generational, and pool bonuses. We encode your plan as explicit versioned rules rather than hard-coding percentages, so future changes do not require rewriting the engine.
Because it removes the trust question. When settlement executes on-chain, members can verify that a payout happened and for how much without taking your word for it. That transparency is usually the single biggest driver of member confidence, and it also gives you an immutable record if a payout is ever disputed.
Yes. Each member gets a live genealogy tree, their volume by leg or level, current rank and progress to the next, and an earnings breakdown showing which rule generated each amount. Most of the support load in network marketing is people asking questions this view answers.
Clawback rules are part of the plan model. When a sale is refunded or a payment charged back, the engine reverses the associated volume and commissions across the affected upline, either against future earnings or as a negative adjustment. Both approaches are supported and configured per plan.
Sixteen to twenty weeks for a full platform: commission engine, smart contracts, member dashboards with genealogy, admin console, wallet integration, and KYC. Plan complexity is the main variable — a straightforward binary is quicker than a hybrid with four bonus overlays.
USDT is the most common for on-chain settlement, alongside BTC, ETH, and major stablecoins on chains such as Ethereum, BSC, Polygon, and Tron. Fiat payout rails can run in parallel where your jurisdiction and banking allow it.
No, and you should be cautious of any vendor who says they do. Network-marketing regulation varies significantly by jurisdiction and the structure of your compensation plan is a legal question for your counsel. We build the software to support whatever you need — KYC, geo-restriction, income disclosure, audit reporting — but the plan itself is your responsibility.
