👤 FAQ: Genesis ONION NFT Holders
1. What benefits do Genesis NFTs unlock?
Genesis ONION NFTs unlock early access to private token sales, guaranteed airdrop allocations, staking bonuses, and governance boosts. Holding a full set (Bronze, Silver, Gold) enables merging into a Platinum NFT with premium perks.
2. How does the rarity system work (Bronze → Platinum)?
Each NFT is minted via a spin-to-reserve system with randomized rarity. Tiers include:
- 🟤 Bronze (basic perks)
- ⚪ Silver (staking + voting)
- 🟡 Gold (sale access + higher multipliers)
- 💎 Platinum (merge-only, highest bonuses)
3. When can I merge NFTs, and how?
Merging opens on April 30, 2025. You must hold 1x Bronze, 1x Silver, and 1x Gold in the same wallet. Merging can be done through the ONTON Mini App or web dApp.
4. What’s the deadline for the airdrop snapshot?
Snapshot takes place on May 30, 2025. You must hold your NFT(s) at that time to qualify for the Genesis NFT airdrop.
5. Can I still sell my NFT after snapshot?
Yes. Your airdrop rights are locked to the wallet that held the NFT at the time of the snapshot. You can sell or trade the NFT afterward, but the new owner won’t receive the Genesis airdrop.
6. Will I keep receiving perks after the airdrop?
Yes. Genesis NFTs continue to provide staking boosts, governance advantages, and loyalty weight in future campaigns.
7. What is the advantage of Platinum NFTs?
Platinum NFTs offer the highest airdrop multiplier, maximum staking and governance boosts, and exclusive access to future gated campaigns and events.
8. Can I merge multiple Platinum NFTs?
Yes — if you have multiple complete sets in one wallet, you can perform multiple merges. Each merge consumes one full set and creates one Platinum.
9. Is there a gas fee for merging?
No gas fee is required in the ONTON Mini App. If you use the on-chain dApp interface, a minimal TON fee may apply.
10. Will Platinum NFTs have visual or functional differences?
Yes. Platinum NFTs have distinct visual designs and will unlock specific functions and campaigns within the ONTON ecosystem.
🧠 FAQ: ONTON Users & SBT Collectors (Questions 11–20)
11. How do ONTON Points work?
ONTON Points are earned by attending or organizing events that issue Soulbound Tokens (SBTs). Each SBT is weighted based on the event type, fee model, and your role (e.g. attendee vs. organizer).
12. What events qualify for SBTs?
All events created via ONTON’s Mini App are eligible — including free online sessions, IRL meetups, and premium ticketed gatherings. Verified organizers must finalize attendance for SBTs to be issued.
13. What if I joined before NFTs existed?
You’re still eligible. All your SBT activity from ONTON’s launch until the snapshot on May 30, 2025 counts toward Genesis airdrop rewards.
14. Do Points carry over across seasons?
No. Each season resets the ONTON Points counter. Genesis Points are valid for the Genesis airdrop only. New events and actions will generate Points for future seasons.
15. Where can I see my reward eligibility?
The Claim UI (launching June 10, 2025) will display your:
- Total ONTON Points earned
- Estimated ONION claim amount
- NFT airdrop multipliers (if applicable)
16. Do I get more Points for organizing than attending?
Yes. Organizers earn a percentage of the total Points generated by their event participants — making hosting more rewarding than attending.
17. What if I hosted multiple events?
Each verified event contributes cumulatively. There’s no cap. The more events you organize (and participants you verify), the more Points you earn.
18. Can I lose Points if I transfer my SBTs?
No — SBTs are non-transferable. They remain tied to your Telegram-linked TON wallet permanently, securing your identity and Point history.
19. Will I qualify if I only joined one free event?
Yes, but your Point weight will be low. Airdrop allocations scale with relative Points earned, so deeper and broader participation results in greater rewards.
20. Can I claim ONION if I didn’t mint a Genesis NFT?
Yes. You only need SBT activity to qualify for the Genesis airdrop pool based on ONTON Points. Genesis NFTs give additional multipliers but are not required for eligibility.
🤝 FAQ: Launch Partners & KOLs (Questions 21–30)
21. How do I get whitelisted or participate in private sales?
You must hold a Genesis ONION NFT or receive a direct invite from the ONTON team. Allocations are tiered and depend on role, contribution, or reach.
22. Can I host co-branded events?
Yes. ONTON supports branded event flows, including SBT drops, partner group creation, and referral tracking for activation metrics.
23. What rewards can I offer my community?
Partners can distribute ONION tokens, Genesis NFTs, or SBT perks — either from their allocation or via DAO-approved bonus campaigns.
24. Is there a referral system?
Yes. Unique referral links are available for NFT minting, airdrop campaigns, and event participation. Referral-based SBTs are planned for future campaigns.
25. How are performance-based bonuses tracked?
Referral dashboards and campaign conversion tracking will be available in Phase 2 of the partner onboarding toolkit.
26. What’s the allocation range for partners?
Most partners receive allocations from the 5–8% ecosystem pool. High-impact campaigns may receive boosts, subject to DAO vote.
27. Can I stake ONION on behalf of my community?
Not directly. However, community members can be incentivized to stake individually. DAO grants can fund staking quests for partner groups.
28. Do partners get early governance rights?
Yes. Verified partners and high-contribution NFT holders may receive proposal rights, governance boosts, or DAO onboarding roles.
29. Can I apply for ONTON grants or bounties?
Yes. A portion of the treasury is reserved for partner-initiated proposals, activation grants, and campaign funding.
30. What metrics improve my eligibility for bonuses?
Campaign engagement (SBTs issued, NFT claims, referrals), total users reached, Telegram group conversions, and event hosting volume all contribute to DAO-reviewed performance metrics.
🚀 FAQ: Claiming & TGE Mechanics (Questions 31–40)
31. When is the Claim UI going live?
The Claim UI will be released on June 10, 2025, allowing users to preview and later claim their ONION allocations.
32. Where do I claim my ONION tokens?
You can claim ONION via the ONTON Mini App on Telegram.
33. Is there a fee to claim?
The Exact mechanism of ONION claim is yet to be developed. We will share more information later.
34. What wallets are supported?
TON-compatible wallets such as Tonkeeper, TON Space, My TON Wallet, and Tonhub are supported. Wallets must be linked to your Telegram account via ONTON interface.
35. What happens if I miss the claim window?
Unclaimed tokens may be reabsorbed into the DAO treasury after a 30–60 day window and redistributed through future proposals.
36. Will I see my estimated tokens before claiming?
Yes. The Claim UI shows your estimated ONION amount based on SBT Points, Genesis NFTs, and any presale participation.
37. Can I claim from multiple wallets?
No. Claims are locked to the wallet that held eligible assets (SBTs, NFTs) at the time of the snapshot.
38. What if I lose access to my wallet?
Unfortunately, claims are non-recoverable. If you lose access to your Telegram-linked TON wallet, your tokens cannot be reassigned.
39. Will ONION be immediately tradable after claim?
Yes. ONION becomes claimable and tradable at the TGE on June 20, 2025, with liquidity provisioned on STON.fi.
40. Is there a limit on how much I can claim at once?
No hard cap, but gas efficiency is optimized for single-session claims. Claim interfaces batch your airdrop, NFT rewards, and presale tokens.
🔐 FAQ: Staking & Token Utility (Questions 41–50)
41. When does staking launch?
Staking will launch in late June 2025, shortly after the TGE. An announcement and UI walkthrough will be provided.
42. What are the staking durations and yields?
Users can stake ONION for 30, 90, 180, or 365 days. Longer locks yield higher APYs (4% to 12%) and increase governance power (up to 3×).
43. Is there a minimum amount to stake?
Yes. The minimum staking threshold is expected to be 1,000 ONION per lock. Specific details will be announced at launch.
44. Do Genesis NFTs affect staking?
Yes. Genesis NFT holders receive staking yield boosts (+5% to +25%) and voting power bonuses (+0.2× to +2×) based on NFT rarity.
45. Can I unstake early?
You can withdraw early, but you will forfeit your rewards. The staked principal is not slashed.
46. How are staking rewards funded?
Rewards are sourced from:
- DAO emissions (governance-controlled)
- Protocol revenue (buybacks)
- Recycled unclaimed token pools
47. Where do I stake ONION?
Staking will be accessible via the ONTON Mini App and official dApp interface, built on audited TONStakers infrastructure.
48. Can I increase my stake after locking?
No. You must create a new stake if you want to add more tokens. Each lock is a fixed-duration, fixed-amount commitment.
49. Does staking influence DAO proposals?
Yes. Your staked ONION determines your voting weight. The more you stake (and the longer the lock), the more governance power you receive.
50. Can I see my rewards in real time?
Yes. The staking dashboard will show projected yield, claim schedule, NFT boosts, and your active governance multiplier.
🛡️ FAQ: Technical & Wallet Security (Questions 51–60)
51. Are smart contracts audited?
Yes. All core contracts (Jetton, merge logic, staking) are audited or based on audited code. Results will be published prior to TGE.
52. Where can I verify the ONION token contract?
The official contract address will be published on onton.app, GitHub, and Telegram before the TGE.
53. How does ONTON prevent bot claims?
All claims go through verified Telegram sessions. SBT filters, wallet linkage, and throttling logic detect and prevent bot exploitation.
54. What happens if I lose my wallet?
If you lose access to the wallet that held your NFTs or earned SBTs at snapshot time, unfortunately, your claim is forfeited. ONTON cannot reassign claims.
55. Can I change my wallet after the snapshot?
No. Eligibility is wallet-specific. Claims are locked to the address that held qualifying assets at the time of the snapshot.
56. What if I get a fake claim link?
Always use official links from onton.app or announcements in the verified Telegram channels. Never connect your wallet to untrusted sources.
57. Is my Telegram account required for all interactions?
Yes. Your Telegram identity is essential for claim verification, SBT linkage, and Mini App access.
58. Does ONTON store my private keys?
No. ONTON never stores private keys. All wallet interactions are session-based via trusted wallet bridges (Tonkeeper, OpenMask).
59. Is there a backup process for SBTs?
SBTs are permanently tied to your wallet. If your wallet is lost, your SBTs and rewards history are also lost.
60. Where can I get support if something goes wrong?
Join @ontonsupport on Telegram or use the Support Bot at @ONton_Support_bot for help.

🌉 FAQ: Cross-Chain & Expansion (Questions 71–80)
71. Will ONION be available on other blockchains?
Not at launch. ONION will launch exclusively on the TON blockchain. Cross-chain plans are under evaluation.
72. Which chain is likely to be supported first?
Solana is a top candidate for future expansion, potentially via a Wormhole or equivalent bridge, based on DAO approval.
73. When will bridging be introduced?
A bridge to Solana or EVM chains is under consideration for Q4 2025 or later, depending on ecosystem demand and technical readiness.
74. Will bridging require new tokens?
No. A wrapped version of ONION will be created on new chains, but it will always map back 1:1 to native TON-based ONION.
75. Can I use my ONTON SBTs on other chains?
Not directly. SBTs are currently TON-native and integrated with Telegram accounts. Future reputation bridges may be DAO-proposed.
76. Will cross-chain staking be supported?
Eventually. Once bridges are established, a cross-chain staking wrapper may be launched if approved by the DAO.
77. Will I be able to trade ONION on Solana or Ethereum?
Yes, once liquidity is deployed and bridges are operational, ONION can be traded on compatible DEXes (e.g., Jupiter on Solana).
78. Can NFTs be bridged as well?
Not in the initial phase. Genesis ONION NFTs are designed for TON. Future collections may support multi-chain functionality.
79. Will I need to bridge manually?
Yes. Users will be able to use an official bridge UI once released. Bridging will require confirmation from both wallets.
80. Who decides when cross-chain expansion happens?
The ONIONVerse DAO. Cross-chain rollouts, target networks, and timing must all be proposed and voted on by the community.
