A "recovery service" that takes 30 percent of what it recovers has every incentive to promise recovery. An endorsement deal that pays the athlete per sign-up has every incentive to push. A platform that takes a cut of trades has every incentive to make you trade. UnyKorn removed all three incentives on purpose.
Where it is written down
The Champion Endorsement Agreement, section 5.4: no commissions, revenue share, per-lead payments, percentage of any client fee, or anything tied to recovered funds, and the clause survives termination. The Blockchain Fraud pricing page: every tier is a fixed dollar amount. The Ambassador terms: no money in either direction. The referral program: a customer discount, not a payment to the referrer.
Where it is enforced
In code. The database still carries a legacy affiliate table with a commission column from a 2026 prototype; it is unused and the runbook says it must stay unused. Payment links carry fixed prices. Pay-per-outcome does not exist as a path.
What it costs us
Growth. Commission structures grow faster because everyone in the chain is paid to push. We accepted the slower path because the alternative is the thing the forensic desk spends its days unwinding: a chain of people who were paid to say yes.
What it gives you
A price before you start. Advice that is not bent by a cut. An endorsement you can trust because the endorser was paid a flat fee to say only approved, true lines, and that fee is on a public ledger.
Questions people ask
Do referrers get paid?
No. A referral gives the customer a discount. The referrer gets a portal showing what they helped protect.
Are athletes paid per sign-up?
No. Champions receive a flat fee for a term, disclosed on the ledger.
