ONTON Brand, Product & Ecosystem Wiki
The single source of truth for how ONTON is positioned, how our two-layer Web & Telegram event architecture works, and how $ONIT, Genesis ONION NFTs, and ONTON DAO connect to the core platform.
Events with Verified Attendance — Native to Telegram & the Web
Most event platforms force a painful tradeoff: mainstream tools (like Luma or Eventbrite) offer easy registration but suffer from high ticket fees, screenshot fraud, and zero community retention after the event ends; traditional crypto platforms demand wallet connections and gas fees just to RSVP, alienating 95% of real-world guests.
Progressive Web3 (Web2-First by Default)
Every attendee and organizer starts with a zero-friction Web or Telegram experience. Blockchain verification, crypto payments, and token rewards sit quietly under the hood until needed.
The Creator & Community Architect
ONTON empowers organizers to turn one-off gatherings—conferences, hackathons, workshops, and meetups—into verifiable, lasting communities inside Telegram and on the web.
Nordic Minimalism & Clarity
Calm, high-contrast typography, plain human language, and self-explanatory workflows. Never overwhelm guests with technical jargon where a simple human phrase works better.
The Two-Layer Experience: Mainstream Simplicity Meets On-Chain Proof
ONTON is architected in two complementary layers so a local developer meetup, a university workshop, or a 5,000-person flagship summit can each use the exact depth of tooling they need:
Built for Every Organizer & Guest
- ✓Universal Sign-In: 1-tap Telegram launch, Google OAuth, or Email OTP on desktop and mobile web (
app.onton.live). - ✓60-Second Event Publishing: Instant live pages with custom registration questions, approval queues, capacity caps, and automatic waitlist promotion.
- ✓Screenshot-Proof Check-In: Dynamic QR passes that rotate every 20 seconds (
TOTP), rejecting static screenshots at the door. - ✓Telegram Stars Checkout: Sell paid tickets with Apple Pay and Google Pay via native Telegram Stars—no crypto wallet needed.
- ✓Automated Chat Gating: Automatically admit approved or checked-in attendees into private Telegram groups and channels.
Programmable Trust, Ticketing & Rewards on TON
- ✓TON & USDT Multi-Tier Ticketing: Non-custodial on-chain settlement verified in real time with optional NFT ticket minting.
- ✓Proof-of-Attendance (cSBT & TEP-85 SBT): Zero-gas cryptographic Merkle credentials (cSBT) for every checked-in guest, plus optional 1-tap on-chain SBT minting (
0.1 GRAM). - ✓Verified Participation Task Raffles: Automated TON & Jetton prize pools gated by real door check-in (
require_checkin) and verified community tasks. - ✓Viral Referral Attribution: Personal invite links that track actual registrations and award
+10 ONTON Pointsper verified guest. - ✓Native ONIT Vault & Staking: Integrated TBook FairLock vesting rescue (
/my/vault) and JVault staking rewarded from platform revenue.
How ONTON, ONION, and $ONIT Fit Together
As ONTON evolved from its early 2025 community roots (ONION / ONIONVerse) into the full ONTON 2.1 platform, we standardized our naming so organizers, attendees, and token holders always know what each layer does:
The event management, ticketing, check-in, and community coordination platform operating across onton.live, app.onton.live, and @theontonbot on Telegram.
Non-transferable platform reputation earned by hosting events, checking in at the door, and inviting friends (+10 Points per verified referral). Reaching 500 Points unlocks the 2.5% Pro Organizer Fee Tier with zero crypto required.
Dynamic event entry passes that automatically refresh their QR code every 20 seconds. Forwarded screenshots expire before they reach the door, while the built-in Telegram scanner checks guests in instantly.
Digital Proof-of-Attendance badges issued automatically after door check-in. Every attendee receives a free verifiable badge (cSBT at onton.live/csbt) by default and can optionally mint a permanent on-chain Soulbound Token (SBT) in one tap for 0.1 GRAM.
ONION (ticker $ONIT) is the fixed-supply 1,000,000,000 utility and governance token on TON Mainnet (mint admin permanently burned). ONTON indexes all 940 smart contracts on-chain (625.51M $ONIT locked until the $20M valuation milestone) and provides 1-tap wallet claiming and native staking in /my/vault and onton.live/dao.
ONTON's commitment to route 25% of net platform fee revenue (from paid tickets and 0.1 GRAM badge mints) into open-market $ONIT buybacks and real-yield staking rewards—never printing unbacked tokens.
Limited collection of 950 utility NFTs across Platinum (2.0x), Gold (1.5x), Silver (1.25x), and Bronze (1.1x) tiers. Each NFT boosts governance weight in the ONTON Senate and automatically unlocks the 2.5% Pro Organizer Fee Tier.
Three-chamber community council (Citizen Assembly, Organizer Council, and ONTON Senate) that votes on weekly product priorities, ecosystem event grants, and the 25% Revenue Buyback Warchest.
Reduced 2.5% ticketing fee tier unlocked automatically when an organizer either earns 500+ ONTON Points through hosting and referrals OR holds/stakes 10,000+ $ONIT.

Fair Ticketing Fees & the 25% DAO Buyback Covenant
ONTON is free forever for community and free-RSVP events. When organizers sell paid tickets or attendees mint permanent on-chain SBTs, platform fees follow a transparent split between core software operations and the community treasury:
Unlimited free events, rotating QR check-in, custom registration questions, waitlist auto-promotion, and cryptographic cSBT attendance proofs.
Accept TON or USDT with a 3% platform fee (or 5% via Telegram Stars). Multi-tier ticket capacities and automated group gating included.
Unlocked automatically when an organizer holds/stakes ≥10,000 $ONIT OR earns ≥500 ONTON Points through hosting and referrals.
70% Core Platform Operations / 25% DAO Covenant / 5% Eco-Pool Reserve
70% of net fee revenue funds ONTON engineering, infrastructure, and growth. Exactly 25% of net fee revenue funds $ONIT buybacks and staking rewards, and 5% funds the Eco-Pool Reserve (activated once quarterly net revenue reaches $3,000/quarter).
