The Cabal Structure

The referral system is built around four independent referral networks, or Bounce Cabals. All participants join one Cabal, and all referrals remain within that Cabal.

The Four Cabals

Each Cabal is the root of its own referral network. There is no global root and no hierarchy between Cabals.

The four Cabals are:

Each Cabal operates as an independent referral network within DEDCAT.

Joining a Cabal

Every participant enters through a referral. When you join:

  • You are referred into 1 of the 4 Cabal networks

  • You become part of that Cabal’s referral tree

  • All your future referrals remain within the same Cabal

Cabals don't merge, and participants can't move between them. Your entire referral tree grows exclusively under the Cabal you were referred into.

Referral Trees

Within each Cabal participants form a hierarchical referral tree. Referral revenue (13% of all Bounce volume) is distributed upstream according to the referral payout structure.arrow-up-right

Referral revenue never crosses between Cabals, each Cabal is economically self-contained.

Root Nodes and Referral Fallback

If a participant Bounces and there are no Active referrers above them in their Cabal tree, the remaining referral allocation flows to that Cabal’s root node.

This means:

  • The full referral allocation is always distributed

  • Referral revenue never leaks or disappears

  • Each Cabal remains economically complete

Why This Structure Exists

  • No single Cabal controls the system

  • Referral power remains decentralised

  • Cabals compete through activity, not position

  • Referral revenue is deterministic and doesn't leak

Each Cabal grows independently, while the DEDCAT system remains structurally neutral.
