FairLock is a smart vesting mechanism designed to protect Fair Launch participants and ensure long-term market stability. It delays token unlocks across the majority of allocations until a minimum market threshold is met.
🎯 What is FairLock?
FairLock ensures that no tokens outside of the Fair Launch, Liquidity, and Genesis NFT airdrop categories can begin vesting until the Fully Diluted Valuation (FDV) reaches $20 million for 7 consecutive days.
This model creates alignment between long-term supporters, community contributors, and the ONTON ecosystem.

🧠 FairLock Is Not a Delay — It’s a Signal
FairLock doesn’t just hold tokens — it signals that early liquidity belongs to the community, and long-term contributors unlock value only when the market is ready.
This model allows ONTON × ONION to grow with its ecosystem, not ahead of it.
