# How Meritorious works

In contrast with Deserving, Meritorious allows you to get spillover from two layers. This flow has more rewards, but with that, a bit more complicated setup. So grab a coffee ☕️ and read carefully.

In Meritorious, we have two layers. Layer one which holds two slots and layer two who holds four slots.

    🟠🟠     - Layer one\
🔵🔵🔵🟢  - Layer two

Ok, hold on now, this part is tricky.\
Layer one has two slots, those two slots also are directly linked two slots of layer two from whom ever referred you here.

        **Your referrer**\
             ⚪️⚪️       - Layer one\
         🟠🟠🔵🔵    - Layer two

             **You**\
             🟠🟠      - Layer one\
         🔵🔵🔵🟢   - Layer two

And this continues down to your connections. Their two layer one 🟠 slots are directly linked to your layer two 🔵 slots.

So what does that mean? Here's how the reward distribution will work.

* 100% of the rewards from layer one 🟠 goes to your referrer. By the same principle, you receive 100% reward from the second line 🔵 slots.
* When your connections fills both their layer one 🟠 slots, that will then complete the whole of your layer two. The last slot in your layer two 🟢 will trigger a recycle, clearing out the slots. 100% of the reward from that last slot will go to your referrer.

Unlock the next level in that block before the second cycle completes **or you will risk to loose the rewards.**
