Meet ON
Presence, rewarded.
ON is a closed in-app virtual currency. You earn it by being active and present, spend it to post and tip, and unlock referral rewards by inviting others. ON has no monetary value — it can't be purchased with real money, redeemed, or exchanged for cash. It's simply how iON keeps real, present people at the center.

FAQ
Questions, answered
The essentials before you jump in.
How much does iON cost?
iON is free to download and use. ON is an in-app currency you earn by being active — it has no monetary value and can't be bought with real money.
Do I have to share my location?
iON is location-first, so the nearby map needs location "While Using the App". You can turn it off anytime in iOS Settings, though some features will be limited.
Is it invite-only?
iON can run invite-only during early phases. If someone shared an invite link with you, your code is applied automatically when you sign up.
How do you keep it safe?
You can report and block in one tap. Our moderation court reviews reports and removes offending content and accounts — usually within 24 hours. Confirmed reporters earn ON.
Can I delete my account?
Yes — in the app go to Profile → Settings → Delete Account. It permanently removes your account and personal data.
