270% ROI tron smart-contract Ponzi


Tronconomy provides no information on its website about who owns or runs the company.

Tronconomy’s website domain (“tronconomy.com”) was privately registered on April 12th, 2021.

At time of publication, Alexa ranks Russia as the only notable source of traffic to Tronconomy’s website (37%).

This suggests whoever is running Tronconomy is based out of Russia.

As always, if an MLM company is not openly upfront about who is running or owns it, think long and hard about joining and/or handing over any money.

Referral Commissions

Tronconomy pays referral commissions via a unilevel compensation structure.

A unilevel compensation structure places an affiliate at the top of a unilevel team, with every personally recruited affiliate placed directly under them (level 1):

If any level 1 affiliates recruit new affiliates, they are placed on level 2 of the original affiliate’s unilevel team.

If any level 2 affiliates recruit new affiliates, they are placed on level 3 and so on and so forth down a theoretical infinite number of levels.

Tronconomy caps payable unilevel team levels at five.

Referral commissions are paid as a percentage of TRX invested across these five levels as follows:

  • level 1 (personally recruited affiliates) – 10%
  • level 2 – 2%
  • levels 3 to 5 – 1%

Matching Bonus

Tronconomy pays a Matching Bonus on daily returns paid to downline affiliates.

The Matching Bonus is paid out using the same unilevel compensation structure used to pay referral commissions (see “referral commissions” above).

Each Matching Bonus level has its own qualification criteria, detailed below:

  • level 1 (recruit three affiliates) – 20% match

Conclusion

Tronconomy is a simple smart-contract Ponzi scheme.

Affiliates invest 200 TRX or more on the promise of a 270% ROI. Returns are paid out of subsequently invested funds.

Attached to that you have a pyramid scheme, incentivizing recruitment of new affiliate investors.

As with all MLM Ponzi schemes, once affiliate recruitment dries up so too will new investment.

This will starve Tronconomy of ROI revenue, eventually prompting a collapse.

A visit to Tronconomy’s website suggests that might have already happened:

Despite promising to be “back in a few hours”, Tronconomy’s website maintenance page went up at least 48 hours ago.

The math behind Ponzi schemes guarantees that when they collapse, the majority of participants lose money.
