# Features of ONTON

ONTON provides an integrated event infrastructure within the Telegram ecosystem. Leveraging the TON blockchain, it facilitates secure participation, transparent coordination, and efficient event execution for both organizers and attendees.

### NFT & SBT Ticketing

**NFT Tickets**: Blockchain-based tickets offer secure and verifiable access to events, reducing the risk of fraud and duplication.

**Soulbound Tokens (SBTs)**: These non-transferable tokens recognize attendance and engagement, enabling on-chain reputation building.

### Seamless Telegram Integration

**Mini App Functionality**: The ONTON Mini App handles event creation, ticketing, and check-in flows directly within Telegram.

**Real-Time Communication**: Organizers can enhance interaction during events by using Telegram-native tools, such as live chats, polls, and Q\&A.

### Gamified Engagement

**Points System**: Participants earn points for joining and interacting during events, which can be used to unlock future rewards.

**Leaderboards**: Engagement metrics are tracked and displayed to highlight top participants, driving competition and repeat participation.

### API Integration

**Developer Access**: ONTON APIs allow projects to integrate ticketing, SBT issuance, and event participation tracking into their existing Telegram apps and bots.

### Community Growth Tools

**Event Discovery**: Public events are listed on the ONTON platform, enabling broader exposure across the Telegram-based TON community.

**Partnership Opportunities**: Projects can co-host or sponsor events to reach new users, with optional support for custom campaigns and cross-promotions.
