# How Does ONTON Work?

ONTON brings together event organizers, attendees, partners, and the Telegram-native environment into a unified ecosystem designed for seamless Web3 event experiences.&#x20;

It combines blockchain-based tools with Telegram's native interface to simplify creation, access, and engagement, without requiring users to leave the app.

### Organizers

ONTON equips event organizers with everything needed to launch and manage events, NFT/SBT ticketing, reward settings, check-in tools, and engagement modules, primarily through the Telegram Mini App, with future support planned for web and mobile platforms.&#x20;

Events can be public, gated, or partner-driven, with built-in options to reward participation through SBTs, ONION tokens, or custom incentives.

### Reputation Layer

ONTON features a Reputation Layer that enables participants to earn ONTON Points and SBTs for every action taken during events.

* All activities, such as joining events, participating in Q\&As, and completing challenges, contribute to a user’s on-chain reputation.
* This reputation is **Sybil-resistant**, ensuring that only verifiable, real accounts contribute to reputation growth.
* Users can leverage their reputation for exclusive event access, community roles, and potential airdrop eligibility, making participation both impactful and rewarding.

### Capital Layer (Launching Q2–Q3)

ONTON introduces a Capital Layer that transforms users' reputation and participation into tangible value.

* Users earn ONION tokens through verified contributions and event participation.
* Staking ONION unlocks exclusive perks, governance rights, and priority access to campaigns.
* High-reputation participants gain eligibility for airdrops and community-driven rewards, reinforcing the value of genuine engagement.

#### **Revenue Model: Usage, Not Hype**

ONTON focuses on real, usage-based growth rather than relying on speculative hype. The platform generates revenue from multiple streams of real activity:

* **Paid Events**: Revenue from both ONTON-hosted and community-hosted events.
* **Customized NFT/SBT Campaigns**: Organizers can create campaigns to encourage NFT and SBT issuance, reward participation, and drive engagement.
* **API Access**: External platforms can access ONTON’s infrastructure for event hosting and tokenized reward distribution.
* **Airdrop & User Acquisition Campaigns**: Facilitating token distribution for projects, increasing engagement and exposure.
* **Community Capital**: Funds raised through events or community-driven activities flow back into the ecosystem, supporting long-term growth.

By focusing on real activity, ONTON ensures that the platform remains sustainable, driving value for both users and organizers.

### Attendees

ONTON offers a frictionless way to discover, join, and engage in events using its Telegram Mini App and TON wallet, with plans to expand into a web app, mobile app, and multi-chain support.

Users can claim NFT or SBT tickets, participate in real-time interactions, and earn rewards simply by attending or completing tasks, building a provable history of activity across TON ecosystem.

### Partners

Projects and platforms can integrate with ONTON to co-host events, sponsor campaigns, or issue branded rewards. Through API access and partner ticketing, they can engage audiences directly inside Telegram while aligning incentives with broader community goals.

### Events

ONTON supports various event types, from small AMAs and community calls to large-scale conferences and on-chain competitions.&#x20;

Each event is modular, customizable, and designed to maximize reach, participation, and on-chain value, primarily managed within Telegram, with future expansion to web and mobile apps.
