ONTON addresses a growing market gap at the intersection of human-authentication, on-chain reputation, and event coordination and community activation, — fully optimized for Telegram and the TON ecosystem.
🌐 Web2 Landscape
| Platform | Focus | Limitations |
|---|---|---|
| Eventbrite | Public event hosting | No crypto support, no identity or loyalty logic |
| Meetup | Local social groups | Closed network, no proof of contribution |
| Telegram bots | RSVP & chats | No proof-of-attendance, no airdrop utility |
ONTON Advantage:
• Built-in Humanity SBT issuance
• Verifiable participation + DID mapping
• Wallet-native rewards and airdrops — all inside Telegram
🧠 Web3 Landscape
| Project | Focus | Gaps vs. ONTON |
|---|---|---|
| Guild.xyz | Role access via tokens | No event layer, not Telegram-native |
| Layer3 | Gamified Web3 quests | High cost, not SBT-based, off-platform |
| MintKudos | Recognition via SBTs | No event system or participation incentives |
| Link3 | Web3 event listings | Centralized, no DAO or PoH integration |
ONTON Differentiators:
- Native to Telegram and TON
- Real-time event-based SBT generation
- Community-owned growth engine via ONION DAO
🔍 Web3 PoH Competitors
| Project | Focus | Gaps vs. ONTON |
| Worldcoin | Global PoH via biometric orbs | Requires proprietary hardware; not community-driven; no event/reputation layer |
| Proof of Humanity (Kleros) | Social-verified identity registry | Low scalability; limited integrations; not event-based |
| BrightID | Social graph Sybil defense | Manual verification; weak adoption outside partner apps |
| Gitcoin Passport | Identity aggregation | Not native PoH; no SBT issuance or event infra |
✅ ONTON Differentiators
- Telegram-native Mini App
- Real-time SBT issuance — including Humanity Badges
- Event-anchored PoH (no hardware required)
DAO-governed reward system (ONION) - Reputation & identity graph with SBT + WISE integration
Fully Sybil-resistant, scalable PoH infrastructure
🌍 Total Addressable Market (TAM)
| Segment | Est. Users / Value |
|---|---|
| Web3 communities | 10M+ active contributors |
| Telegram DAUs | 900M+ global users |
| Event/community SaaS (B2B) | $3B+ annual market |
| Decentralized Identity (SBTs) | High-growth frontier |
Even 0.1% penetration of Telegram-native communities provides a scalable, defensible growth base for ONTON.
