Forsage operates as a matrix program, where participants can earn rewards through their own efforts and those of their referrals. Participants are required to purchase positions in a matrix, which then earns them a share of the rewards generated by the overall system. The amount of rewards earned depends on how many referrals a participant has and how many referrals those referrals have, and so on, down the line. The more participants and referrals in the matrix, the greater the rewards for everyone in the system. However, as with any investment opportunity, there are risks involved, and it is important to thoroughly research and understand the potential risks and drawbacks before participating.
