# Staking binary and product binary: two binaries, one tree

Your binary tree earns in two ways: staking binary counts CLUB staked in your legs, product binary counts partner purchases. How each works, how they differ and how they support each other.

**Quick answer:** you have one binary tree with a left and a right leg. It earns in two separate ways. **Staking binary** counts the CLUB staked in your legs, 1 point per token. **Product binary** counts partner purchases in your legs, 1 point per dollar. Both use the same weekly maths and both pay you in CLUB.

![Diagram: product binary counts partner purchases in dollars, staking binary counts staked CLUB in tokens; each week both pay your rank percentage of the weaker leg, capped, paid in CLUB, with paid points leaving both legs](https://cdn.clubaffili.com/help/ecosystem/04-two-binaries.png)

## The same weekly maths

1.  Points build up in your left and right legs.
    
2.  Each week you earn your rank's percentage of the **weaker** leg.
    
3.  The payout is capped at your rank's weekly cap.
    
4.  The points behind what was paid leave **both** legs, so nothing is ever paid twice.
    
5.  Unpaid points carry over, and expire after a year.

## An example week

Your left leg has 8,000 points and your right leg 5,000. At a 10% rate you earn 500: that is 500 CLUB for staking binary, or $500 paid in CLUB for product binary. Both legs drop by 5,000 and 3,000 points carry over on the left.

## How the two support each other

Staking binary grows when members stake. Product binary grows when members buy from partners. Because product rewards are paid in CLUB, members who earn them can restake straight away, which adds to the staking binary of everyone above them. Rank percentages and caps are in **Rewards & Commissions**.

This article explains how ClubAffili works today. It is general information, not financial, investment, legal or tax advice, and nothing in it is a promise of rewards, returns or a token price. Club Token can go down in value as well as up.
