The Onyx token is the coordination layer of the Onyx ecosystem. It aligns users, partners, and the platform around real-world usage—connectivity activated, payments processed, and services consumed—rather than speculation or narrative-driven incentives.
The token exists to unlock access, status, and participation across the network. It enables users to activate premium tiers, receive usage-based rewards, and engage more deeply with the services they already rely on. As activity on the platform increases, the token becomes a mechanism for expressing commitment and long-term alignment, not a substitute for the underlying business.
Onyx does not use the token to replace core revenues or to subsidize an unsustainable model. Connectivity, payments, and hardware stand on their own economically. The token amplifies this foundation by coordinating behavior at scale—rewarding contribution, encouraging retention, and creating a shared upside between the network and its most engaged participants.
Crucially, the token is designed around utility and access, not financial entitlement. It does not represent equity, profit share, or dividends. Its value derives from the breadth and depth of the Onyx platform itself: the more the network is used, the more meaningful participation becomes.
In short, the token turns an already viable global mobile business into a programmable ecosystem—one where usage, loyalty, and contribution are recognized and reinforced by design.
4.2 Token Economics & Emissions
The $ONYX token is designed to align network usage, platform revenue, and long-term supply discipline. Its economics are usage-driven, revenue-aware, and explicitly constrained to avoid speculative excess detached from real activity.
Fixed Supply
$ONYX has a fixed maximum supply of 1,000,000,000 tokens.
There is no inflationary minting schedule independent of platform growth. Supply enters circulation only through defined mechanisms tied to network adoption and usage milestones.
Initial Circulating Supply
At Token Generation Event (TGE), 150,000,000 $ONYX (15%) will be in circulation.
This initial float is sized to support liquidity, early access incentives, and ecosystem participation without over-exposing supply before the platform reaches meaningful scale.
Emissions Model
$ONYX emissions are usage-gated, not time-based.
New tokens enter circulation only as the network expands across measurable activity:
- Mobile plan activations
- Payment volume processed through the platform
- Partner integrations driving real usage
This ensures emissions scale with demand rather than ahead of it, preserving scarcity while still rewarding early contributors to growth.
Utility Allocation
Emitted tokens are distributed across clearly defined buckets:
- User rewards tied to verified platform usage
- Partner incentives for distribution and activation
- Ecosystem participation programs that drive retention and expansion
There are no emissions for passive holding alone. Value accrues through participation in the network.
Revenue-Backed Buybacks
Onyx allocates a portion of platform revenue to programmatic buybacks of $ONYX on the open market.
Revenue sources include:
- Mobile service fees
- Payments and card interchange
- Optional premium network services
Purchased tokens are removed from circulation or recycled into controlled ecosystem programs, reducing effective supply as platform usage grows.
Supply Discipline
The combined effect of:
- Fixed maximum supply
- Usage-gated emissions
- Revenue-backed buybacks
creates a feedback loop where increased platform adoption places downward pressure on circulating supply rather than diluting it.
Scarcity is not manufactured. It emerges from real-world usage.
Long-Term Alignment
$ONYX is structured to reward:
- Users who actively rely on the network
- Partners who bring sustained activity
- Long-term participants aligned with platform growth
$ONYX is not designed to function as a dividend, profit share, or speculative instrument disconnected from service delivery. Its role is to coordinate access, incentives, and value flow across a growing global mobile network.
4.3 Value Return to Users
$ONYX returns value to users through access, pricing advantages, and network-level benefits, not financial claims or passive yield. Participation is designed to improve the experience of using the Onyx Mobile Network as it scales.
Access-Based Benefits
Holding and committing $ONYX unlocks differentiated access across the platform. Users gain entry to premium service tiers, higher limits, and advanced network features as adoption grows. These benefits are functional and experiential, tied directly to how the network is used.
Pricing & Service Advantages
$ONYX can be used to reduce the cost of core services, including:
- Mobile plan pricing and upgrades
- Payments-related fees
- Premium network modes and future services
This creates a clear utility loop where active users lower their cost of participation as they deepen engagement with the platform.
Usage-Aligned Rewards
Onyx rewards behavior that strengthens the network:
- Consistent service usage
- Payments volume
- Referrals that lead to sustained activations
Rewards accrue based on measurable contribution, not speculation. The system favors long-term usage over short-term activity spikes.
Network Alignment
$ONYX aligns users with the health of the platform without requiring them to take on operational or regulatory complexity. As adoption increases, users benefit from improved service economics, broader partner integrations, and tighter platform feedback loops.
Regulatory Posture
$ONYX is not structured to provide profit sharing, dividends, or claims on company revenue. All user benefits are delivered through access, pricing, and service-level improvements within the Onyx ecosystem.
Value is realized through use.
5. Hardware
5.1 Onyx ONE Concept Overview
Onyx ONE is a premium mobile device designed to activate the Onyx Mobile Network from the moment it is powered on. It ships with global connectivity and payments enabled by default, turning hardware into a direct on-ramp for recurring network revenue rather than a standalone consumer gadget.
The device exists to reduce friction at activation. Users do not assemble services, manage carriers, or configure payments. Connectivity, identity, and payments resolve through the same platform stack that powers the Onyx app, delivering continuity across devices and environments.
Onyx ONE is positioned as a durable, long-lived access point to the network. Hardware is not a growth experiment or brand extension; it is an owned distribution surface that aligns user experience, economics, and service reliability under a single system.
5.2 Hardware Roadmap
Onyx ONE follows a phased, execution-first roadmap designed to minimize risk while validating demand.
Initial production is structured around limited manufacturing runs with clearly defined activation targets. Early batches focus on power users, partners, and high-intent customers who value reliability and continuity over feature density.
Manufacturing, certification, and logistics are handled through experienced ODM partners. Regulatory compliance, carrier certification, and regional approvals are managed through established supply chain processes rather than internal reinvention.
Hardware development progresses in parallel with platform maturity, ensuring that device capabilities remain tightly coupled to the underlying network services.
5.3 Hardware Economics
Onyx ONE is priced as a premium device with a manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) of $999.
Hardware margins are designed to be neutral to positive on a per-unit basis, with profitability driven primarily by downstream service activation rather than one-time device sales. Each device functions as a high-confidence entry point into recurring connectivity and payments revenue.
Economic assumptions prioritize:
- Predictable bill of materials ranges
- Conservative manufacturing yields
- Managed logistics and warranty exposure
- Clear break-even thresholds per production run
Hardware economics are evaluated holistically, with lifetime network revenue per activated device treated as the primary performance metric.
