REAL PRODUCTS, ZERO MEDIAN

The company’s own published average annual earning is $1,286.03 - roughly $394 less than the $1,679.88 it costs, at the cheapest published route, to stay eligible to earn it.

The question you came with

Can you actually make money with ByDzyne?

NO No - not on the numbers this company publishes

No. The company publishes the number that settles it, and publishing it is genuinely to its credit: the median annual earning is $0.00, and it has been $0.00 in every one of the four periods disclosed since July 2020. Not a small number. Zero, four times running, while the zero-earner rate sat between 72% and 79% and did not move.

Then the arithmetic that decides this one. The cheapest published route to staying commission-eligible is a $139.99 monthly subscription, $1,679.88 a year. The company's own published average annual earning is $1,286.03. The average - the figure lifted by the top of the tree, not the middle of it - sits $393.85 below the cost of staying eligible to receive it, before the annual fee, before a kit and before a dollar of advertising.

The plan's biggest single percentage is a 20% bonus that fires on enrollment and upgrade orders only, never on a reorder and never on a customer repeat purchase. And your commission rate is bought rather than earned: the 10%, 15% and 20% tiers unlock at accumulated kit volume of 185, 300 and 500 BV, with the $369 and $1,069 kits priced at exactly 185 and 535. Buy the larger kit once and the top rate is permanent.

What is good here is worth naming. There is no token, no staking and no pooled fund, and nobody hands the company capital against a promised return. The full compensation plan sits ungated on a public bucket in two languages. Unopened stock bought in the previous twelve months is repurchased at 90%, and the subscription cancels in the back office with no phone call and no retention script.

What it costs to be in
$39.99/yr headline · ~$1,720/yr real floor

the advertised price is a $39.99 annual access fee; the cheapest published route to staying commission-eligible is a $139.99/month subscription, $1,679.88 a year, plus a kit if you want a workable commission rate

What would have to change
  • A median that is not zero. Four disclosed periods and four medians of $0.00 is not a bad year, it is the shape of the plan, and no amount of averaging fixes what the middle of the distribution shows.
  • An enrollment bonus that is not the largest number in the plan. While 20% fires on people joining and reorders pay less, the plan is pricing recruitment above consumption whatever the marketing says it rewards.
  • A commission rate that cannot be purchased. Lifetime tiers unlocked by accumulated kit volume, with two kits priced at exactly those thresholds, is purchase-to-qualify with the label filed off.
  • A refund policy that covers the countries it sells in. The published policy states in capitals that it does not apply outside the USA, in a company operating in more than 80 markets with its heaviest field concentration elsewhere.

That call is computed, not chosen - the rule reads three of the nine published dimension scores and is printed on the methodology page. It describes this company's plan and the figures it publishes about the people already in it. It is not a prediction about you, and nothing on this site is advice.

Legal status

LEGAL - no court, regulator or agency anywhere has found ByDzyne to be a pyramid scheme, and no criminal proceeding, conviction, SEC action, FTC action, CFTC action, state attorney general action, cease-and-desist, consent order or class action naming ByDzyne could be located in seven years of operation across 80-plus countries. The file contains two foreign items and both must be read at their exact stage. On or about 28 April 2022 Ecuador’s Superintendencia de Bancos added ByDzyne to its published register of entities not authorized to conduct money-taking activities - an administrative warning-list entry, not a judicial finding, not a prosecution and not a finding of fraud; no prosecution of ByDzyne under Article 323 of Ecuador’s COIP was located. In September 2022 the Comandancia General de la Armada del Ecuador opened an internal inquiry into serving naval personnel who were promoting the business, circulated a force-wide warning circular, and stated it would refer the matter to the UAFE financial intelligence unit - an employer investigation of promoters plus a stated referral, and a referral is a referral. Ecuadorian reporting records that naval officers were subsequently sanctioned; those sanctions were against the officers, not against the company.

What this actually is

Follow the money

A Wyoming-registered direct-selling company, founded in 2019 and operating from Thailand, that sells across seven verticals at once - a travel-booking subscription, a resold forex-education subscription, AI marketing software, wellness-technology devices, personalized skincare, a smartwatch and a fuel additive, plus a hybrid e-commerce marketplace - through independent Brand Ambassadors on a binary compensation plan with unilevel bonuses layered on top.

Lead with what is real, because several things here are genuinely better than the category baseline. The company publishes an income disclosure on a public URL, unprompted, and it publishes a median alongside the average - and the median is $0.00, which means it is voluntarily handing readers the number that damns it. The full compensation plan sits on an open storage bucket in numbered versions, in English and Spanish, with no login and no "ask your sponsor", which is why the figures in this report are exact rather than field hearsay. The distributor buyback is 90% within twelve months, the statutory benchmark, published without a login. Subscriptions cancel self-service with no retention process. The plan’s two-leg qualification can be satisfied by Retail or Preferred Customers rather than only by recruits. There is no token, no coin, no staking, no pooled fund and no managed account anywhere in the stack. And the forex product is honestly labeled: the company discloses that it is a reseller, names the third-party vendor, and carries four separate no-guarantee clauses plus a full margin-trading risk warning.

Then the economics, all of it from the company’s own documents. The advertised entry is $39.99 a year. The real floor is about $1,720, because staying "Active" - the precondition for earning anything from the binary and for not having your accumulated volume destroyed - requires 60 BV of product every month, and the cheapest clean route to 60 BV is a $139.99 monthly travel subscription, $1,679.88 a year. Set that against the published average annual earning of $1,286.03 and the average participant is roughly $394 down before the annual fee, before any kit, before events and before advertising. The median is worse and is not an estimate: $0.00, in every one of the four periods ever disclosed. And the denominator is active Brand Ambassadors, people already paying monthly to stay qualified, so everyone who joined and lapsed is excluded from the 76.1% zero-earner figure entirely.

The structural feature a prospective participant should understand before anything else is that commissionable volume is not a fixed fraction of price. It varies by nearly five to one across the same catalog. A $340 wellness device generates 36 BV - 0.106 BV per dollar. A $588 annual software subscription generates 300 BV - 0.510 BV per dollar. To reach the 1,250 BV weaker-leg volume the Director rank requires, a leg buying the device must spend $11,800; a leg buying the software subscription must spend $2,451. Same rank, $9,349 apart. The two travel tiers land exactly on the two qualification thresholds - 60 BV and 120 BV - which is not a coincidence but a subscription priced to be the cheapest possible way to stay eligible. A participant optimising for rank buys kits and digital subscriptions; a participant optimising for a customer’s benefit sells physical product; and the plan pays for the first.

"Breakage" is volume that never pays anybody - stronger-leg volume, fortnightly-flushed volume, volume held by unqualified positions and volume above a rank’s per-cycle cap.

Who runs it, and what they ran before

Na
Nat and Chanida Puranaputra
Chairman and Chairwoman · Co-founders (Chanida Puranaputra is identified as CEO on a trade-publication profile)

A husband-and-wife pair who arrived as top-tier field earners rather than as operators. They built first in a coffee-and-supplement direct seller and then in a Miami-headquartered wearable-health-technology company, where one of them held Master Distributor status in 2016; an industry review site puts their combined earnings across the two at roughly $35 million. They exited the second in October 2018 with no public explanation and launched this company about six months later, in April and May 2019. That is a distributor departure and nothing more - no finding of any kind against either of them, in any jurisdiction. What is worth recording is the shape: a top downline lifted out of an opportunity somebody else owned and re-planted in one they own themselves. Their own April 2019 launch announcement traded on the titles "Top Income Earners", "Leaders of the Year" and "#2 Global Direct Sales Earners" while naming none of the companies where those titles were earned. Withholding the names of your own prior ventures in your own launch release is a disclosure choice, and it is recorded as one.

SW
Sophia Wong
President and Co-founder

Co-founded a California nutritional-supplement direct seller in 2008, which remains a going concern with no regulatory finding located against it; her departure date from it could not be established. The material problem is elsewhere. Her launch biography claims she founded or co-founded a business described as "one of the largest digital media companies in the world", identified in the release only by a set of initials. No public record connects her to the large US digital media group that carries those initials, or to any comparably sized company. This report does not assert that the claim is false - it asserts that it could not be verified at all, against any source, and that a headline biographical claim on a named principal which cannot be corroborated is itself a finding. The accompanying claims of "over 22 years" of entrepreneurship and a 1996 entry into the industry are likewise unsourced beyond the company’s own press release.

HM
Henry Marsh
Co-founder, 2019 launch team · current involvement unconfirmed

A four-time US Olympic steeplechaser turned direct-selling executive, and the heaviest single entry in the founder file. In 2005 he co-founded a large nutrition MLM that collapsed: in May 2014 it defaulted on a $182 million loan, and in March 2015 the note was bought for $15 million and the assets taken through foreclosure - roughly eight cents on the dollar, a near-total destruction of enterprise value in a business whose distributors had been told for a decade that it was generational. A debt default and a foreclosure sale are insolvency events, not findings of wrongdoing, and this report does not treat them as findings. Separately, in October 2017 he joined the board of a forex-and-financial-education direct seller, later folded into a graded financial-education group; in 2018 the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission fined that firm $150,000. Say precisely which: the penalty was a civil monetary penalty against the company, not against Marsh, not a criminal matter and not a personal finding of any kind. The relevance is specific rather than moral - the co-founder who brought a forex vertical into this company had, the year before it launched, sat on the board of a forex direct seller the CFTC penalized. He appears in the 2019 launch materials and does not appear in 2026 leadership references; whether he departed, and when, could not be established.

Gn
Governance note
What the founder file does and does not contain

It is not a fraud file, and the report says so in terms. No criminal proceeding, no conviction, no arrest, no indictment, no SEC, FTC or CFTC action, no state attorney general matter and no regulator finding of fraud exists against any ByDzyne principal, anywhere, in any of the sources reviewed. Seven years of operation in more than 80 countries with a clean formal record on every principal is materially better than a great deal of this category and it goes on the record first. What remains is a pattern rather than a proceeding: a collapsed prior flagship, a CFTC penalty at a firm one co-founder sat on the board of, an unverifiable headline biography on the President, launch releases that decline to name the prior companies, a family-controlled structure with the founders’ daughter and son-in-law in the top field position, and a downline transplanted wholesale from someone else’s opportunity into a founder-owned one. Two further principals - a "MetaVerse Development Advisor" appointed in March 2022, from which nothing shipped, and a Managing Director for India appointed in December 2022 - have prior records this research could not verify either way.

Registered address

Sheridan, Wyoming, USA (registered) · corporate operating office in Thailand
Read the Wyoming/Sheridan combination for what it is. Sheridan is a registered-agent address; Wyoming does not require public disclosure of shareholders, levies no corporate income tax and permits nominee officers. This is entirely legal and entirely common, and it is also why no audited accounts, no filed financial statements and no verified ownership percentages exist anywhere in the public record. Every revenue figure in circulation is a trade-publication estimate rather than a company figure, and the series a direct-selling trade publication carries runs $9m (2019), $18m (2020), $34m (2021) and then flat at roughly $35m for each of 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025. A trade estimate is not audited and is not the company’s own number; treat the column as indicative. If it is even directionally right, growth stopped in 2022, which is the year the Ecuadorian listing and the naval inquiry landed. That matters more here than it would elsewhere: rank advancement in a binary depends on volume growth in the weaker leg, and a company with a flat top line cannot supply that to everybody at once. The business is family-controlled - the founders’ daughter and son-in-law hold the founding field position - and no participant headcount of any kind is published, so the disclosure percentages cannot be converted into people.

Read this twice

Every figure here is built from ByDzyne’s own published prices, its own BV values, its own percentages and its own caps. The headline entry price is $39.99 a year and it is technically true. It is not the number that decides anything, because three published rules sit behind it. First, the lifetime Team Volume Commission rate is set by accumulated kit volume - 185 BV for 10%, 300 BV for 15%, 500 BV for 20% - and the $369 and $1,069 kits are priced at exactly 185 and 535 BV, so a participant who wants the top rate for life buys it once, on the way in. Second, "Active" requires 60 BV of product every month, or 120 BV in the Diamond, President and Crown zones, and the cheapest clean route to 60 BV is the $139.99 travel subscription. The physical-product route costs $396 a month and the device route is not even possible from a single unit. That is not an accident; it is a plan that makes any route other than the subscription financially irrational. Third, and harshest, a participant who is not a Builder - meaning one personally sponsored member on the left and one on the right, at 185 BV each - has their entire pay-leg volume flushed at the end of every fortnightly pay cycle. Someone who joins, buys a kit and sponsors nobody accumulates nothing, permanently. Miss six consecutive cycles and everything goes, including volume the downline built. So the honest floor is roughly $1,720 a year, not $39.99, and the arithmetic that follows is the one to sit with: the company’s own published average annual earning is $1,286.03, which is $393.85 below the $1,679.88 it costs to stay eligible to receive it. The median is $0.00. Two caveats that cut the company’s way and belong here. In the United States the 60 BV can and formally must be met by genuine sales to personally enrolled customers rather than by self-purchase, so a participant with a real customer base is not spending that money at all; and the two-leg "Qualified" requirement can be satisfied by Retail or Preferred Customers rather than by recruits. Both are real concessions. Both are dissolved outside the United States by the company’s own global definition of Active: "a BA who buys a minimum of 60 BV worth of products every month."

Twelve dollars is the maximum documented binary payment on the Economy Class travel subscription at $139.99 a month, and that subscription is also the cheapest published route to staying commission-eligible, which is why the same figure appears on both sides of this calculator. The 20% Initial Welcome Bonus is excluded deliberately: it fires on enrollment and upgrade orders rather than on a sale to a customer, and it is the largest number in the plan. Also excluded are the per-cycle caps and the fortnightly flush, both of which cut against the participant - a non-Builder’s entire pay-leg volume is flushed every fortnight, so the slider is the plan’s best case rather than its typical one; divide by roughly two if you want the flushed version. Read the calibration instead of the slider: the company’s own disclosure reports a median of $0.00 in all four periods it has published, and an average of $1,286.03, which is $394 below the $1,679.88 a year it costs to stay eligible at all. Your own subscription cost of $139.99/mo is included.

Price-to-value

A composite multiple of 4.35 times on the minimum viable configuration, and the components vary enormously. The travel tier is the worst value in the catalog and effectively an infinite multiple, because the capability it charges $1,679.88 a year for - the right to browse and book travel you then pay for separately - is given away free by every major online travel agency. Trading education runs about nineteen times TradingView Essential and infinitely more than TradingView’s free tier plus the free BabyPips curriculum, and the buyer is purchasing from a reseller rather than from the vendor. Skincare runs six times a full evidenced routine, and the fuel additive nine times a mainstream engine treatment. But the AI software vertical is honestly at parity and the report will not pretend otherwise: OMA Pro at $1,800 a year against a genuinely equivalent seven-tool stack at $1,919.88 means the company is marginally cheaper on the full comparison, and only on a narrower comparison - what a solo marketer actually uses - does it become a roughly two-times overpay. One vertical priced at market does not rescue a catalog whose cheapest qualification route is a subscription worth nothing, but it is true and it belongs in the table.

Methodology note. These are modeled outcome ranges, not claims about what anybody will earn and not company figures. ANCHORED to ByDzyne’s own published numbers: a median annual earning of $0.00 in all four disclosed periods; 76.1% of active Brand Ambassadors receiving no commissions, bonuses or overrides at all over 1 January 2022 – 31 December 2023, against 72.13%, 77.12% and 78.73% in the other three; a published average of $1,286.03; the $39.99 annual fee; the $369 and $1,069 kits at 185 and 535 BV; the 10/15/20% lifetime commission thresholds at 185/300/500 BV; the 60 BV and 120 BV Active floors; the $139.99, $269.99, $250 and $150 monthly subscription prices; the 25% retail margin from the plan’s own worked example; the per-cycle commission caps at every rank; the fortnightly flush for non-Builders; and the 1,250 BV pay-leg requirement at Director. MODELED by us: the share of each cohort in cumulative profit at each horizon, the cohort definitions themselves, which the company does not segment, and the expense lines the company does not publish - events, advertising, travel to conventions and time. The Director row at one year is the brief’s own worked scenario and it is worth reading twice: a participant who actually reaches Director, holding 1,250 BV in their weaker leg every month, nets roughly $1,474 across the year after costs. At fifteen hours a week that is about $1.89 an hour before self-employment tax. The top column for the three- and five-year horizons describes the Diamond outcome, which is real money and which the plan can genuinely produce - the company simply does not publish how many people are there, and its own plan document discloses that as of 30 June 2021 eight people had ever qualified for the $50,000 luxury tier and nobody at all for the $250,000 tier.

Ecuadorian reporting in 2022 nonetheless documented promotional videos claiming $2,500 to $9,800 per fortnight - around fifty times the company’s own published annual average. That is field conduct, not a company statement, and it is not a regulatory finding against anybody; it is also what drew a national regulator’s warning-list entry and a naval circular.
Disease and treatment claims on the wellness products
PROHIBITED, WITH TERMINATION NAMED
Company materials state that indicating disease or treatment claims is "a violation of the company policy… and will result in immediate termination", alongside the standard FDA structure-function disclaimer and a specific COVID-19 prohibition. Naming the consequence is better than most written policies in this category manage. Whether it is enforced in the field is a separate question this research could not answer.
Subscription cancellation
SELF-SERVICE, NO RETENTION PROCESS
"Monthly subscriptions may be cancelled at any time through the ByDzyne Backoffice; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing cycle." No phone call, no saving offer, no gauntlet. This is a genuinely clean term and it is rarer than it should be.
Refunds outside the United States
NOT COVERED AT ALL
The published refund policy opens in capitals: "THE REFUND POLICY IS NOT APPLICABLE TO ORDERS SHIPPED OUTSIDE OF USA DUE TO VARIOUS INTERNATIONAL LAWS AND REGULATIONS." The company operates in more than 80 countries and its heaviest field presence is in Latin America and India. Whether local equivalents exist on local sites could not be established.
Commission clawback on downstream refunds
RESERVED, BROADLY WORDED
If an order is canceled or refunded "for any reason whether within or outside the refund policy", the company reserves the right to deduct the business volume and to adjust, deduct or recover commissions and bonuses already paid to the sponsor and upline, immediately or in the next cycle. Reasonable in principle, and worth understanding before counting a commission as banked.
Non-compete, non-solicit and customer ownership on exit
COULD NOT BE REVIEWED
Who owns a Retail or Preferred Customer record when a Brand Ambassador leaves, how long any post-termination non-solicitation runs, whether cross-sponsoring is prohibited, whether a position can be transferred or inherited, and what genealogy access a participant has - all of it lives in the Policies and Procedures, and none of it is publicly readable. In every company in this category these are the restrictive terms that matter most.
Volume retention
CONDITIONAL ON CONTINUED MONTHLY SPENDING
A non-Builder’s entire pay-leg volume flushes at the end of every fortnightly cycle. An inactive participant loses 50% of carry-forward per cycle and all of it after six - three months. Luxury Bonus points expire at eighteen months, and the Global Pool Bank requires 26 consecutive qualified cycles, thirteen months, restarting from zero if one is missed. Continued monthly purchasing is a condition of keeping volume you and your team have already generated.
The evidence

Red flags and green flags

1The median annual earning is $0.00 - in every period ever disclosed
Four periods, four medians of zero, running from July 2020 to 2024. The typical active Brand Ambassador, the one in the middle of the distribution, earns nothing. Not a little. Zero. That is the company’s own published figure.
2The published average earning is below the cost of staying eligible to earn it
The company publishes an average of $1,286.03 for 1 January 2022 – 31 December 2023. The cheapest clean published route to remaining Active costs $139.99 a month, $1,679.88 a year. The average participant - not the median one, the average one, the figure lifted by the top of the tree - is $393.85 down before the annual fee, before any kit, before events and before a dollar of advertising.
376.1% of active Brand Ambassadors received nothing at all
And the denominator is the trick. The disclosure counts active Brand Ambassadors: people already buying 60 BV of product every month to stay qualified. Everyone who joined, bought a kit and lapsed is excluded outright, so the true share of all-time joiners who earned nothing is necessarily higher than 76.1% and is not published. Across the four disclosed periods the figure runs 72.13%, 77.12%, 76.1% and 78.73% - it is not improving.
4The plan’s biggest single percentage fires only when somebody joins
The 20% Initial Welcome Bonus pays on enrollment and upgrade orders only - not on reorders, not on autoship, not on customer repeat purchases. A $1,069 kit pays the personal sponsor $213.80 instantly, before any binary volume moves. Reconstructed per $100, an enrollment order pays out roughly 2.4 times more in commission, and pays it faster, than a subscription rebill.
5Your lifetime commission rate is bought, not earned
The 10%, 15% and 20% Team Volume Commission tiers unlock at accumulated kit-volume thresholds of 185, 300 and 500 BV, they accumulate for life with no time limit, and the $369 and $1,069 kits are priced at exactly 185 and 535 BV. Buy the bigger kit once and the top rate is permanent. That is purchase-to-qualify, and it is why the $1,069 kit exists.
6The global definition of "Active" is self-purchase, in the company’s own words
Published side by side with the US definition on the company’s own income-disclosure page: a Brand Ambassador is one "who buys a minimum of 60 BV worth of products every month". The US text says sells, to personally enrolled Retail or Preferred Customers. Outside the United States the retail requirement does not exist.
7Rank progress per dollar varies 4.8 times across one catalog
A $340 hydration device returns 0.106 BV per dollar; a $588 annual software subscription returns 0.510. To reach the 1,250 BV weaker-leg volume Director requires, a leg buying the device must spend $11,800 and a leg buying the subscription $2,451 - a $9,349 gap for the same rank. The plan systematically pays more for moving a subscription than for moving the flagship physical product.
8A non-Builder’s entire pay-leg volume is destroyed every fortnight
Until you have personally sponsored one member on the left and one on the right at 185 BV each, all accumulated pay-leg volume flushes at the end of every pay cycle. Somebody who joins, buys a kit and sponsors nobody accumulates nothing, permanently. Recruitment is not one route through this plan; it is the gate.
9Everything is forfeited after six inactive cycles
Carry-forward volume is cut by 50% per cycle while inactive and flushed entirely after six - three months. Global Pool Bank eligibility needs 26 consecutive qualified cycles, thirteen months, restarting from zero if one is missed. Luxury Bonus points expire at eighteen months. Continued monthly spending is the condition of retaining volume already generated.
10The refund policy excludes every market outside the United States
"THE REFUND POLICY IS NOT APPLICABLE TO ORDERS SHIPPED OUTSIDE OF USA DUE TO VARIOUS INTERNATIONAL LAWS AND REGULATIONS", in capitals, at the top of the published policy - in a company operating in more than 80 countries with its field concentrated in Latin America and India. Whether local equivalents exist could not be established.
11The Policies and Procedures cannot be read at all
No public company URL served the full distributor agreement; the fragmentary policies page returned no substantive text and a third-party document host served a JavaScript challenge. Non-compete, non-solicit, customer ownership, advertising rules, genealogy access and position transfer are all unreviewed. That is a could-not-retrieve rather than a does-not-exist, and it is the largest evidentiary gap in this file.
12Field income claims of $2,500 to $9,800 per fortnight in Ecuador
Documented in Ecuadorian press reporting in 2022, some of it in videos featuring serving naval personnel. A $2,500 fortnightly claim implies about $65,000 a year, roughly fifty times the company’s own published average. The field was quoting the plan’s per-cycle cap table as though it were an expectation. Stage: field income claims, not a company statement and not a regulatory finding.
13A national regulator’s warning-list entry and a military employer’s inquiry
On or about 28 April 2022 Ecuador’s Superintendencia de Bancos added the company to its published register of entities not authorized to conduct money-taking activities - an administrative listing, not a court order, not a prosecution and not a finding of fraud. In September 2022 the Ecuadorian Navy opened an internal inquiry into its own personnel who were promoting the business and stated it would refer the matter to the UAFE financial intelligence unit. A referral is a referral. The officers were later sanctioned; the company was not.
14A headline biography on a named principal that cannot be verified
The President’s launch biography claims she founded or co-founded a business described as "one of the largest digital media companies in the world". No public record connects her to the large US digital media group whose initials the release uses, or to any comparably sized company. The report does not assert the claim is false; it records that it could not be corroborated against any source.
15The catalog churns while the volume requirement does not
Several brands have entered and left in seven years - a CBD line, a supplement line, a protection product and an eco line have disappeared from current pages, and the 2019 flagship smartwatch has been repriced from $428 to $285. The product a participant is recruited on may not exist in two years. The 60 BV a month certainly will, and the buyback expressly excludes discontinued stock.

Green flags

10
1It publishes a median, and the median is zero, and it publishes it anyway
On a public URL, unprompted, with the zero-earner percentage next to it, in every period since July 2020. Publishing a median when the median is $0.00 is a company handing a reader the single number that damns it. Very few operators in this category publish a median at all. The numbers are terrible; the disclosure is a genuine credit and it goes first.
2No securities exposure of any kind, anywhere in the stack
No token, no coin, no NFT, no staking, no pooled fund, no managed account, no copy trading, no funded-account scheme and no profit share. Nobody hands the company capital against a promised return. A metaverse advisor was appointed in March 2022 and nothing shipped - which in this category counts as restraint. This is why the securities score sits at the ceiling.
3The full compensation plan is public, versioned and ungated
Numbered versions sit on an open storage bucket in English and Spanish, with the rank ladder, the caps, the flush rules and the pool percentages in them. No login wall, no "ask your sponsor". Almost every exact figure in this report comes from the company’s own documents, which is only possible because it publishes them.
4A 90% buyback within twelve months, published without a login
Unopened, resalable product bought in the previous twelve months is repurchased at 90% of original net cost on resignation or termination. Twelve months and 90% is the benchmark that state anti-pyramid statutes and industry codes converge on. Many operators offer nothing, or six months, or 80%.
5Opened product refunded at 100% on a first purchase
Clause 2 of the tangible-product policy: "If the product is opened, it may be returned for a 100% refund", limited to one unit per product type on first-time purchases. Bounded, but materially better than the unopened-and-resalable-only wall that is the category norm.
6Self-service subscription cancellation with no retention gauntlet
Cancel in the back office, effective at the end of the billing cycle. No phone call, no saving offer, no retention script. For a business built on recurring subscriptions, this is the term that most easily could have been made hostile and was not.
7The two-leg qualification can be met with customers, not just recruits
"Qualified" requires two personally sponsored members, one left and one right, active at 60 BV - and the plan says explicitly that Retail Customers and Preferred Customers count, not only recruited Brand Ambassadors. That is a real retail concession written into the plan document rather than implied.
8The forex vertical is honestly labeled, and the vendor is real
The terms state that the company "is a reseller of the Smart Market Academy program, which is managed and controlled by third-party vendors and suppliers" and that neither the program nor its vendor are "Commodity Trading Advisors or financial or legal advisors of ANY KIND". Four separate no-guarantee clauses and a full margin-trading risk warning accompany it, and the underlying vendor is a long-established education business founded in 1994, not a shell.
9The commission thresholds moved down, unprompted
The volume needed to unlock the 15% and 20% lifetime rates fell from 600 and 1,250 BV in the 2019 plan to 300 and 500 BV in the current summary. The plan got cheaper to max out and nobody made the company do it. That is a change in the participant’s favor and it belongs on the record.
10No arbitration clause or class-action waiver in the public terms
Neither appears anywhere in the publicly retrievable Terms of Use, and the governing law - Wyoming - is stated plainly. Most US direct sellers impose mandatory arbitration with a class waiver. The caveat is honest: one may appear in the Policies and Procedures, which nobody outside the company can read.
What would move this grade

We would like to be wrong about this

Upward

  • Publication of a per-rank income table with headcounts - what a Builder, a Director, a Diamond and a President actually earn, and how many of each there are. It is the single largest missing number in this file, and its absence is currently scored against the company.
  • Publishing the Policies and Procedures at a public URL, extending the refund and buyback policy to non-US markets or publishing the local equivalents, and rebalancing commissionable volume so that physical product carries a comparable ratio to subscriptions.
  • A published Retail and Preferred Customer to Brand Ambassador ratio - the single most persuasive number a direct seller can publish - together with confirmation, dated, that the company has been removed from the Ecuadorian register, and clean nulls from the Colombian, Peruvian, Mexican, Thai and Indian regulators this research could not reach.

Downward

  • Introduction of any token, staking product, pooled fund, funded-account or copy-trading facility. This is the single change that would collapse the securities score from its ceiling, and a metaverse advisor was appointed in 2022, so the direction was at least contemplated.
  • A second national regulator warning-list entry, particularly in Colombia, Peru or Mexico where the field is concentrated; any FTC, SEC, CFTC or state attorney general action in the United States; or an Ecuadorian prosecution naming the company rather than its promoters.
  • Continued flat revenue through 2026 and 2027 alongside a disclosure showing the zero-earner share rising further, or retrieval of Policies and Procedures showing a long non-compete, company ownership of customer records or a broad post-termination non-solicit.
The better trade

Grade is D at 4.18. Real products across four working verticals, a published median of $0.00, and an average earning that sits below the cost of qualifying to receive it.

Several things here are better than the category and they go first because they are real. The company publishes an income disclosure on a public URL, unprompted, with a median next to the average - and the median is zero, which means it is voluntarily handing readers the number that damns it. The whole compensation plan sits ungated in numbered versions in two languages, which is why this report can quote exact thresholds rather than field hearsay. The buyback is 90% within twelve months, the statutory benchmark, and opened product is refunded at 100% on a first purchase. Subscriptions cancel self-service with no retention gauntlet. The two-leg qualification counts customers, not just recruits. There is no token, no pool, no managed account and no promised return anywhere in the stack, which is why securities exposure scores at the ceiling. And the products are not vapor: the AI software is genuine SaaS priced at parity with a seven-tool open-market stack, the forex curriculum comes from a third-party education vendor established in 1994, the smartwatch is a real device, and the company discloses in terms that it is a reseller rather than the source.

The economics is where it comes apart, and every figure is the company’s own. The advertised entry is $39.99 a year; the real floor is about $1,720, because staying Active requires 60 BV of product every month and the cheapest clean route to 60 BV is a $139.99 monthly subscription. Against that, the published average annual earning is $1,286.03 - roughly $394 short of the cost of staying eligible to earn it - and the median is $0.00 in every one of the four periods ever disclosed. Some 76.1% of active Brand Ambassadors received nothing at all over 2022 and 2023, and the denominator is people already paying monthly, so the true all-joiner figure is higher and unpublished. The structure explains the outcome. The 20% Initial Welcome Bonus, the biggest single percentage in the plan, fires only on enrollment and upgrade orders. The lifetime 10/15/20% commission rate is bought with a kit at 185, 300 or 500 BV. Commissionable volume per dollar varies 4.8 times across the same catalog, systematically favouring subscriptions and kits over physical product. A non-Builder loses all pay-leg volume every fortnight. And the global definition of Active, in the company’s own words, is "buys 60 BV" - not sells.

The legal file has to be read at its exact stage and it is thinner than the reputation. There is no conviction anywhere, no criminal proceeding, no arrest, no indictment, no SEC, FTC or CFTC action against the company, no state attorney general matter, no cease-and-desist, no consent order and no class action located, in seven years across more than 80 countries. What exists is Ecuadorian: an administrative warning-list entry by the Superintendencia de Bancos in April 2022 - a listing, not a court order and not a fraud finding - and a September 2022 naval inquiry into the force’s own personnel who were promoting the business, with a stated referral to the financial intelligence unit. A referral is a referral. Officers were sanctioned; the company was not. What drew that attention was field income claims of $2,500 to $9,800 a fortnight, about fifty times the company’s own published average, alongside the founders’ own record: a co-founder whose prior flagship defaulted on $182 million and was foreclosed at roughly eight cents on the dollar, and who sat on the board of a forex direct seller the CFTC fined $150,000 in 2018 - a penalty against that firm, not against him. The watchlist filed this as a serial-founder risk and it was right. It simply looked in the second-sharpest place.

1

Do the $1,286.03 against $1,679.88 sum before anything else

Both numbers are published by the company. The average annual earning is below the cheapest annual cost of staying eligible to earn it, and the median is zero. The question is not whether somebody can win - a Diamond makes real money and the plan can genuinely produce one. The question is what specific reason you have to believe you are not the median. Write it down. If the answer is your sponsor’s enthusiasm, that is not a reason.

2

Buy the products you actually want, without the position

If you want forex education, TradingView’s free tier plus the free BabyPips curriculum plus a broker demo account costs nothing, and TradingView Essential at $155.40 a year does the charting that the $3,000-a-year subscription is wrapped around. If you want travel, Booking.com, Expedia and Kayak give away the booking access the $1,679.88 subscription sells. If you want the AI marketing stack, that one is genuinely at parity - and you can buy it as a customer without the kit, the kit-bought commission rate or the monthly volume floor.

3

Get the Policies and Procedures in your hand before you sign anything

They are not published at any public URL that serves text, and they are where the non-compete, the non-solicit, the customer-ownership rule, the advertising rules and the position-transfer rules live. Ask your sponsor to send you the PDF. If a document governing everything you are about to build cannot be produced on request, that is the answer to a different question.

4

If you sell travel, forex education or marketing tools, sell them as a merchant

All three categories have genuine demand, real search intent and honest affiliate or agency routes that do not require a $1,069 kit, a 60 BV monthly floor, a fortnightly volume flush or a downline. A host-agency or independent-advisor route sells the same trips. An honest, sourced comparison site on trading tools earns from products people would buy anyway. Neither costs you $1,720 a year for the right to be paid.

The company publishes an average annual earning of $1,286.03 and a cheapest annual cost of staying eligible of $1,679.88 - and a median, in every period it has ever disclosed, of $0.00.
Scorecard

Nine dimensions, weighted

Comp structure & KoscotDoes the plan pay for recruitment or for sales to real customers?
20%
3.0
Start with what is genuinely there, because it is written into the plan document rather than implied. "Qualified" - the two-leg requirement - can be satisfied by Retail or Preferred Customers and not only by recruited Brand Ambassadors, which is a real retail concession and rarer than it should be. A Retail Bonus exists as a straight margin, worked in the plan’s own example at $42.60 retail against $31.95 wholesale, a 25% rate. And the United States definition of "Active" requires a participant to sell 60 BV of product to their own personally enrolled Retail or Preferred Customers every month - an actual customer-sale rule, not a self-purchase rule. Now the other side. The largest single percentage anywhere in the plan is the 20% Initial Welcome Bonus, and it fires only on enrollment and upgrade orders: not on reorders, not on autoship, not on customer repeat purchases. A payment triggered by a person joining rather than by a product being consumed is the definitional shape of a recruitment-weighted plan. The lifetime Team Volume Commission rate - 10%, 15% or 20%, held for life with no time limit to qualify - is not earned but bought, through accumulated kit-volume thresholds of 185, 300 and 500 BV, with the $369 and $1,069 kits priced at exactly 185 and 535 BV. Pay more on the way in, earn a permanently higher percentage: that is purchase-to-qualify. And the company’s own global definition of "Active", published side by side with the US one on its own income-disclosure page, is "a BA who buys a minimum of 60 BV worth of products every month". Note the verb. Outside the United States the customer-sale requirement is dissolved by the company’s own text.
Securities exposureAny passive return on capital? Howey, staking, tokens, withdrawal friction.
15%
10.0
This number needs the long version, because a reader who sees a forex vertical, an Ecuadorian money-taking listing and a "MetaVerse Advisor" expects a low one and is owed the reasoning. Securities exposure, as this site grades it, means capital handed over by a participant against a promised or implied return. It is not about the asset class, not about what subject matter the company discusses, and not about what a foreign regulator has called the sector. Every component was tested individually and none of them takes capital in against a return. The forex product is a flat-fee education subscription that ByDzyne resells: its own terms state that "ByDzyne is a reseller of the Smart Market Academy program, which is managed and controlled by third-party vendors and suppliers" and that the program and its underlying vendor "are not Commodity Trading Advisors or financial or legal advisors of ANY KIND". The buyer pays a flat monthly or annual fee for courses, mentorship sessions, e-books, analyst access and a charting platform with a hundred-thousand-dollar virtual demo account. No brokerage account is opened with ByDzyne. No funds are deposited with ByDzyne. There is no promised return, no signal-following profit share, no copy trading, no funded or proprietary trading account, no pooled fund and no managed account. The software vertical is flat-fee SaaS. The travel subscription accrues "Reward Stars" redeemable for travel and not for cash. The e-commerce platform pays overrides on sales made, which is a commission, not a return on capital. The kits buy product and a commission rate. The Global Pool Bank is funded from 3% of the company’s own business volume rather than from participant deposits, and it releases on 26 cycles of performance, not on capital held. There is no token, no coin, no NFT, no staking product and no yield of any kind - an advisor was hired for metaverse development in March 2022 and nothing shipped, which in this category counts as restraint. The Ecuadorian listing is a regulator’s characterisation of a recruitment plan collecting joining money, and no Ecuadorian source describes an interest rate, a fixed return, a profit share or a pooled fund; that entry belongs in mktg and owner, where it is scored heavily, and not here. The only friction item worth naming is that the BD Wallet’s withdrawal fees, minimum thresholds and dormancy rules sit behind a back-office login and could not be retrieved - an unretrievable term is a transparency gap, not a demonstrated exposure, and it belongs in terms. No deduction survives being named, so the score is the ceiling. Two things this 10 does not say. It does not say the plan is good - the composite is 4.18 and the median earning is zero. And it says nothing about whether trading education at $250 a month is worth buying; a subscription can be catastrophic value without being a security.
Ownership & track recordWho runs it, what did they run before, and what happened to it.
15%
3.5
The mitigating half is real and goes first: no criminal proceeding, no conviction, no arrest, no indictment, no SEC, FTC or CFTC action, no state attorney general matter and no regulator finding of fraud exists against any ByDzyne principal anywhere in the sources reviewed. Seven years, more than 80 countries, and a clean formal record on every named individual. Against that sits a founder file heavy enough to hold the number in the low band. A co-founder launched, in 2005, a large graded nutrition MLM that collapsed: a $182 million loan default in May 2014, and in March 2015 a note bought for $15 million with the assets taken through foreclosure - roughly eight cents on the dollar. That is an insolvency event, not a finding of wrongdoing, and it is not treated as one; it is treated as what happened to the last big thing this founder built. The same man joined the board of a forex-and-financial-education direct seller in October 2017, and in 2018 the CFTC fined that firm $150,000. Say which: the civil monetary penalty was against the firm, not against the individual - no personal finding, no criminal matter. The relevance is that the co-founder who brought forex education into this company had sat, the year before, on the board of a forex direct seller the CFTC penalized. Add the President, whose headline biography - founding a business described as one of the largest digital media companies in the world - could not be verified against any public record, and the launch releases that trade on "Top Income Earner" titles while declining to name the companies where they were earned. Add a family-controlled structure in which the founders’ daughter and son-in-law occupy the top field position, occupied at day zero without having to build under anybody. The watchlist filed this as a serial-founder profile and it was right about that; it was wrong about where the sharpest risk sits.
Product reality & demandWould a rational buyer purchase this if no income offer existed?
12%
4.0
Roughly half this catalog would survive the removal of the income offer and roughly half would not, and the honest grade splits the difference. On the surviving side: the AI marketing software is genuine SaaS priced close to the market, the forex curriculum comes from a long-established third-party education vendor founded in 1994 rather than from a shell the company invented, the smartwatch is a real device now retailing at $285, and the fuel additive is a commodity product. Those are real goods sold to real people. On the other side: a $139.99-a-month travel "access" subscription buys the right to book trips you then pay for separately, when the same right is given away free by the major online travel agencies; a $340 magnetic hydration device is marketed on mineral elements and magnetic interaction improving how the body uses water, a mechanism with no accepted clinical basis; a $185 far-infrared band and $165 insoles sit in the same category; and four "frequency technology" patches sell for $396. This report describes what is marketed and makes no claim of its own about what any of these devices does. Two facts cut in the company’s favor and are recorded: disease and treatment claims are prohibited by written policy with immediate termination named as the consequence, and the flagship smartwatch was repriced downward from $428 in 2019 to $285 - evidence that pricing criticism was heard and acted on. The catalog also churns hard: several brands have entered and left in seven years, so the product a participant is recruited on may not exist in two years while the monthly volume requirement certainly will.
Participant economicsReal cost in, realistic money out, and whether they publish the numbers.
10%
1.5
Credit first, and it is genuine: ByDzyne publishes an income disclosure on a public URL, unprompted, and it publishes a median next to the average. Very few operators in this category publish a median at all, and publishing one when it is zero is a company voluntarily handing the reader the number that damns it. Now the numbers. The median annual earning is $0.00 - and it is $0.00 in every one of the four periods the company has ever disclosed, running continuously from July 2020 to 2024. Zero-earner rates across those periods run 72.13%, 77.12%, 76.1% and 78.73%. For the 1 January 2022 – 31 December 2023 period the company reports that 76.1% of Brand Ambassadors received no commissions, bonuses or overrides at all and that the average was $1,286.03. Read the denominator carefully, because it is where the real number hides: the disclosure counts active Brand Ambassadors - people already buying 60 BV of product every month to stay qualified - so everybody who joined, bought a kit and lapsed is excluded outright. The true share of all-time joiners who earned nothing is necessarily higher than 76.1% and is not published. Then the arithmetic that decides this dimension. The cheapest clean published route to remaining Active is a $139.99 monthly subscription, $1,679.88 a year. The company’s own published average annual earning is $1,286.03. The average - not the median, the average, the figure inflated by the top of the tree - is $393.85 below the cost of staying eligible to receive it, before the annual fee, before any kit, before events and before a dollar of advertising. And the average has risen from $540.05 to $688.90 to $1,286.03 while the median stayed at zero and the zero-earner rate did not move, which means the distribution became more top-heavy rather than that participants did better. No per-rank table and no headcount are published anywhere.
Price-to-valueWhat the same capability costs on the open market.
8%
2.5
Priced against the open market on the minimum viable configuration, the composite multiple is 4.35 times: roughly $1,720 a year inside the plan against about $395 outside it. The travel tier is the sharpest line in the file and it is effectively an infinite multiple - $1,679.88 a year buys access to book trips that are then paid for separately at market rate, when Booking.com, Expedia and Kayak charge nothing at all for that access and a Costco membership at $65 or a flight-alert service at about $49 covers the rest. The trading vertical runs $3,000 a year against $155.40 for TradingView Essential, or nothing at all for TradingView’s indefinite free tier plus the free BabyPips curriculum and a free demo account from any mainstream broker - roughly nineteen times, and the buyer is purchasing from a reseller rather than from the vendor. Four "frequency technology" patches at $396 sit against about $66 for a full clinically substantiated skincare routine from a pharmacy or beauty retailer; a $340 hydration device against $40 of filtration; a $100 fuel additive against about $11 of a mainstream engine treatment. The honest exception, and it must be said because it is real: the AI software vertical is at parity. OMA Pro at $1,800 a year against a genuinely equivalent seven-tool open-market stack - an AI assistant, a design tool, an email platform, a website builder, a contact database, a CRM and an automation layer - comes to $1,919.88, so the company is actually marginally cheaper on the full comparison. Narrow it to what a solo marketer really uses and it is a two-times overpay, but at the full comparison the company wins, and a report that would not say so is not worth reading on the rest.
Payout sustainabilityCan the company fund the plan out of margin, or only out of inflow?

The plan is comfortably fundable, and the reason is that it is engineered to be cheap for the company. Team Volume Commission is capped per pay cycle at every single rank, and there are two cycles a month; the Infinity Matching Bonus is capped at whatever you personally earned in the same cycle; the Global Pool Bank draws only 3% of company business volume and releases only after 26 consecutive qualified cycles, thirteen months, restarting entirely if one is missed; and the flush rules are severe. A participant who is not a Builder - meaning one personally sponsored member on each side at 185 BV - has their entire pay-leg volume destroyed at the end of every fortnight. An inactive participant loses half the carry-forward per cycle and all of it after six. Reconstructed from the plan’s own percentages, breakage is the largest single line in the split of a transaction: about $28.50 of every $100 of an enrollment order and about $24.43 of every $100 of a subscription rebill is volume that never pays anybody. Both halves of that need saying. Breakage protects the company, because it means the plan cannot outrun the margin that funds it. Breakage costs the participant, because it is their own volume and their own downline’s volume evaporating on a fortnightly clock they have to keep spending to reset. Against solvency: trade-estimated revenue has been flat at roughly $35 million for four consecutive years, and a binary rank ladder needs weaker-leg growth it cannot manufacture out of a flat top line. The company also claims a 57% payout through a trade publication; the denominator is undefined and the reconstruction here suggests it must be a percentage of commissionable volume rather than of revenue, so it should not be repeated as 57 cents in every dollar.
Marketing conductIncome claims, regulator run-ins, hype, deadline stacking.

The corporate materials are disciplined and that is recorded first: "Earnings vary and are not guaranteed", an explicit statement that the company makes zero income guarantees, a published disclosure carrying a $0.00 median, four separate no-guarantee clauses on the trading product, a full margin-trading risk warning, the FDA structure-function disclaimer on product pages and a specific COVID-19 prohibition. The field is a different matter and it is documented. Ecuadorian reporting in 2022 recorded promotional videos, some featuring serving naval personnel, claiming earnings of $2,500 to $9,800 per fortnight - against the company’s own published average of $1,286.03 a year, a $2,500 fortnightly claim implies about $65,000 annually, roughly fifty times the published average. That is where the field was reading the plan’s per-cycle cap table as though it were an expectation. Stage-label the consequences exactly: the Superintendencia de Bancos entry of April 2022 is an administrative warning-list entry by a financial regulator, not a court order, not a prosecution and not a finding of fraud; the naval inquiry of September 2022 is an employer investigation of its own personnel plus a stated referral to the UAFE financial intelligence unit, and a referral is a referral, not a charge and not a finding. Officers were later sanctioned; the company was not. Beyond Ecuador: the founding brand ambassadors arrived in 2019 carrying a public $450,000-a-month income claim from their previous opportunity; promotions named Chairman Club, Level Up and Easy Entry are time-boxed entry-price constructs, one of which explicitly sells "10% TVC for life" as the reward for buying before a deadline; a pay-to-enter awards program is promoted as prestigious; a trade publication’s own paid-adjacent grading badge is used as third-party validation; and a weekly scheduled testimonial cadence was announced for 2026. The Luxury Bonus advertises $50,000 and $250,000 car and home awards while the company’s own plan document discloses that, as of 30 June 2021, eight people had ever qualified for the $50,000 tier and nobody at all for the $250,000 tier.

Two provisions here are genuinely above the category baseline and neither is a token. The distributor buyback repurchases unopened, resalable product bought in the previous twelve months at 90% of original net cost on resignation or termination - twelve months and 90% is the benchmark that state anti-pyramid statutes and industry codes converge on, and it is published at a public URL with no login. And subscriptions cancel self-service: "Monthly subscriptions may be cancelled at any time through the ByDzyne Backoffice", effective at the end of the billing cycle, with no phone call and no retention gauntlet. There is also a three-business-day full cancellation on enrollment orders, a satisfaction guarantee that contradictorily extends to opened tangible product at 100% for one unit per product type, and no arbitration clause or class-action waiver in the publicly retrievable Terms of Use - unusual, and to the company’s credit, though it may appear in the document nobody can read. Then the wall. The published refund policy opens: "THE REFUND POLICY IS NOT APPLICABLE TO ORDERS SHIPPED OUTSIDE OF USA DUE TO VARIOUS INTERNATIONAL LAWS AND REGULATIONS." The company operates in more than 80 countries with its heaviest field concentration in Latin America and India, and its published consumer protection covers one of those markets. Beneath that: the digital refund window is written on the live page as "thirty (30) 14 days" while the trading product’s own terms say seven - three numbers for one window; "activated" is defined as logging in once, partially or in full, which retires the refund on a $2,143 annual subscription at first login; autoship and subscription rebills are never refundable under any circumstance; a $20 administrative fee applies if the return authorization number is not written on the outside of the package; return shipping and transit risk sit with the distributor; and the buyback excludes all promotional, free, opened, expired and discontinued items and all business tools and marketing materials, in a catalog that churns. Above all of it, the Policies and Procedures - where non-compete, non-solicit, customer ownership, genealogy access and advertising rules live in every company in this category - are not readable at any public URL, and the third-party copy served a JavaScript challenge rather than text. That is a could-not-retrieve rather than a does-not-exist, and it is itself a terms finding.

Hard caps that bind here

Non-binding ceiling at D nothing caps this file. The nine weighted numbers land at 4.18 on their own arithmetic, squarely inside the D band, and the grade is set by that composite rather than by any override. It is worth stating what the D does NOT rest on, because in this category the assumption runs the other way. There is no securities exposure anywhere in the stack - no custody of anyone’s money, no promised return, no token, no pool, no managed account - which is why sec scores at the ceiling. There is no conviction of any principal in any jurisdiction, no criminal proceeding, no arrest and no indictment. There is no US regulator action of any kind: no SEC matter, no CFTC matter against ByDzyne, no state attorney general action, no cease-and-desist and no consent order. There is no FTC matter, not even a warning letter or a Notice of Penalty Offenses. No class action naming the company could be located. And no court or regulator anywhere has made an adjudicated pyramid finding against it. For a cap to bite here, one of those would have to change - a second national regulator listing in a market where the field is concentrated, a UAFE finding, an Ecuadorian prosecution naming the company rather than its promoters, or the introduction of any token, staking product, pooled fund or copy-trading facility, which is the single change that would collapse the sec score from its ceiling. None of that is in the file today. The grade is earned by a published median of $0.00, an average that sits below the cost of qualifying, a 20% bonus that fires only on people joining, and a lifetime commission rate you buy with a kit.

The lowest binding cap wins, regardless of the weighted arithmetic.

What we could not get

  • The Policies and Procedures - the full distributor agreement. No public company URL served it, the fragmentary policies page returned no substantive text, and the third-party document host served a JavaScript challenge instead of the document. Non-compete, non-solicit, customer ownership on exit, paid-advertising rules, trademark bidding, lead buying, cross-recruiting, genealogy access and position transfer are all unreviewed. This is the single largest gap in the file, and it is a could-not-retrieve rather than a does-not-exist.
  • The BD Wallet withdrawal terms. Commissions are loaded into an internal wallet on the 10th and 25th of each month, and the withdrawal fees, minimum thresholds and any dormancy or forfeiture rules sit behind the back-office login and could not be retrieved. If a later check finds fees or forfeiture on inactivity, that is a terms issue.
  • Trustpilot. A profile exists for the company, but both the .com and the Australian mirror returned HTTP 403 to retrieval, so the rating and review count could not be captured and no consumer-sentiment figure is asserted here. A trade publication separately advertises "50 customer reviews, 5/5 stars" on its own on-site widget - that is a promotional metric on a page the company can influence, not an independent rating.
  • The current Ecuadorian warning list. The Superintendencia de Bancos page returned a DNS resolution failure, so whether the company remains on the register today is unknown. The April 2022 listing is established from contemporaneous Ecuadorian press, not from the live register.
  • The Colombian, Peruvian, Mexican, Thai and Indian regulators were not reached - the research session exhausted its search budget before them. These are flagged as unchecked, not as clean, and they matter more than the ones that were checked: the company has a Bogotá office, Peruvian and Mexican field activity, its corporate office in Thailand and a Bengaluru entity. The Philippine SEC advisories search returned HTTP 403 and is likewise unchecked.
  • There is no per-rank income table anywhere, and this one is a genuine absence rather than a retrieval failure. All five official plan PDFs, the income-disclaimer page, the opportunity page and a 404-returning income-disclosure URL were searched. Nothing shows what a Builder, a Director, a Diamond or a President typically earns. No Brand Ambassador headcount, no active-BA headcount and no rank counts are published either, so the disclosure percentages cannot be converted into people, and no Retail or Preferred Customer to Brand Ambassador ratio exists.
  • Audited financial statements do not exist publicly - a Wyoming non-filer with no SEC filings - so every revenue figure used here is a trade-publication estimate and is labeled as one. The company’s claimed 57% payout has an undefined denominator; the reconstruction here suggests it must be a percentage of commissionable volume rather than of revenue, and it should not be repeated as 57 cents in every dollar.
  • Several product-side details: current prices and BV for the beauty line, whether the CBD and supplement legacy brands are still orderable, the BV values of the $599, $1,299 and $5,000 kits, the dollar prices of the fuel-additive pack tiers, whether the 2019-era travel vouchers still attach to kits, whether the 2019 "Strong Leg Commission" survives in the current plan, event and convention pricing, the co-founder’s current status at the company, and whether country-specific refund policies exist outside the United States.

Common questions

ByDzyne - frequently asked

QIs ByDzyne a pyramid scheme?
No court, regulator or agency anywhere has found it to be one, and there is no SEC, FTC or CFTC action, no state attorney general matter, no cease-and-desist, no consent order and no class action naming the company in seven years across more than 80 countries. The products are real: genuine SaaS priced at parity with an open-market stack, a forex curriculum from a third-party education vendor established in 1994, a smartwatch, skincare and wellness devices. The structural criticisms are specific and they come from the company’s own documents. The 20% Initial Welcome Bonus - the single largest percentage in the plan - fires only on enrollment and upgrade orders, never on reorders. The lifetime 10%, 15% or 20% Team Volume Commission rate is bought through accumulated kit-volume thresholds of 185, 300 and 500 BV, with kits priced at exactly 185 and 535 BV. No rank at any level requires a retail-customer count; the higher ranks require Director and Diamond lines, which are requirements to have developed other distributors. And the company’s own global definition of an Active Brand Ambassador is one "who buys a minimum of 60 BV worth of products every month" - the verb is buys. The US text, by contrast, requires selling that volume to personally enrolled customers, which is a genuine retail rule.
QHow much do ByDzyne Brand Ambassadors actually earn?
The company publishes this itself, which is a real credit, and the numbers are the reason for the grade. For 1 January 2022 to 31 December 2023 it discloses that 76.1% of Brand Ambassadors received no commissions, bonuses or overrides at all, that the median was $0.00 and that the average was $1,286.03. The median has been $0.00 in all four periods ever disclosed, running from July 2020 to 2024, and the zero-earner rate across those periods runs 72.13%, 77.12%, 76.1% and 78.73% - it is not improving. Read the denominator carefully: the disclosure counts active Brand Ambassadors, meaning people already buying 60 BV of product every month to stay qualified, so everybody who joined, bought a kit and lapsed is excluded outright. The true share of all-time joiners who earned nothing is necessarily higher than 76.1% and is not published, because no headcount of any kind is. There is also no per-rank earnings table anywhere in any company document.
QHow much does it cost to join ByDzyne?
The advertised price is $39.99 a year for the annual access fee, and that fee generates zero commissionable volume. The realistic floor is about $1,720 a year. Staying "Active" - the precondition for earning anything from the binary and for not having accumulated volume destroyed - requires 60 BV of product every month, or 120 BV at Diamond and above, and the cheapest clean published route to 60 BV is the $139.99 monthly travel subscription, $1,679.88 a year. The physical-product route costs $396 a month and the wellness-device route is not achievable from a single unit at all. On top of that, most participants buy a kit: $369 at 185 BV locks the 10% lifetime commission rate and $1,069 at 535 BV locks the 20% rate permanently. A builder who also carries the trading subscription at $250 a month and attends an event runs $4,800 to $6,900 a year. Set against the company’s own published average annual earning of $1,286.03, the arithmetic speaks for itself.
QWhat happened in Ecuador, and what does it actually mean?
Two separate things, and the stage labels matter more here than anywhere else in this report. On or about 28 April 2022 Ecuador’s Superintendencia de Bancos added ByDzyne to its published register of entities not authorized to conduct money-taking activities, alongside a nationally identified population of 133 suspected entities. That is an administrative warning-list entry by a financial regulator. It is not a court order, not a prosecution, not a judicial finding and not a finding of fraud, and no prosecution of the company under Ecuador’s unauthorised money-taking provision was located. Separately, in September 2022 the Ecuadorian Navy High Command opened an internal inquiry into serving naval personnel who were promoting the business in videos claiming earnings of $2,500 to $9,800 per fortnight, circulated a force-wide warning circular, and stated it would refer the matter to the UAFE financial intelligence unit. That is an employer investigation of its own personnel plus a stated referral - and a referral is a referral, not a charge and not a finding. Later reporting records that naval officers were sanctioned; the sanctions were against the officers, not against the company. Whether ByDzyne remains on the Ecuadorian register today could not be verified, because the register itself returned a DNS failure.
QIs the ByDzyne forex product an investment or a security?
No, and this is why the securities-exposure score on this report is at the ceiling despite the presence of a forex vertical. Securities exposure, as this site grades it, means capital handed over against a promised return. The Smart Market Academy product is a flat-fee education subscription that ByDzyne resells - its own terms state that "ByDzyne is a reseller of the Smart Market Academy program, which is managed and controlled by third-party vendors and suppliers" and that the program and its vendor "are not Commodity Trading Advisors or financial or legal advisors of ANY KIND". The buyer pays a monthly or annual fee for courses, mentorship, analyst access and a charting platform with a virtual demo account. No brokerage account is opened with ByDzyne, no funds are deposited with it, no return is paid or promised, and there is no token, no staking, no pooled fund, no managed account, no copy trading, no funded account and no profit share anywhere in the company’s stack. A $250-a-month education subscription can be very poor value - TradingView Essential does the charting for $12.95 a month and the BabyPips curriculum is free - without being a security. The high securities score says nothing good about the plan overall; the composite is 4.18.

This report was researched and written by Claude, Anthropic’s AI assistant, working from primary documents - ByDzyne’s own compensation plan, its policies and procedures, its terms of service, its income disclosure statement where one exists, and its regulatory and self-regulatory file. It was scored against nine weighted dimensions that are published in full, with their weights, on the methodology page.

Before publication it was reviewed by Rob Fore, who checks every source link, every figure against the document it came from, and every allegation against its stage-label - an investigation is not a finding, a warning letter is not an enforcement action, and a filed claim is not a verdict.

The editor does not set the grade. The published score is the weighted composite of the nine dimension scores, and the build refuses to emit a page where the two disagree by more than 0.06. A grade moves when the evidence moves it and not otherwise.

Rob Fore has marketed online since 1996, wrote Online MLM Marketing (2014), and is CEO of Listech Inc, the Nevada corporation that publishes this site.

Tell me if this grade changes

ByDzyne is graded D as of August 1, 2026. Grades move when the evidence moves - a new income disclosure, a regulatory action, a rewritten compensation plan. Leave your address and you will get one email if this one does.

One email when the grade moves, and nothing else. We will never use your address to promote an income opportunity of any kind, we do not sell, rent or share the list, and it is stored on our own infrastructure rather than with any company graded here. Unsubscribe removes everything.

Right of reply

Corrections

Every factual claim on this page is sourced, and the ones we could not stand up are named in the unable to verify list above. If something here is wrong, we want to know, and we would rather hear it from ByDzyne than from a reader.

Write to corrections@opportunitygrade.com. Point at the specific sentence and send the document that contradicts it - a plan document, a filing, an income disclosure, a policy page. We will check it against the primary source, correct the page if it is wrong, and say in the report that it was corrected and when. A grade moves if the evidence moves it.

This address reaches a person, not a form. We do not require a takedown demand, an NDA or a lawyer to accept a correction, and we do not remove a report because a company disputes its conclusion - only because the underlying facts turn out to be wrong.
