**TL;DR**

$OC vaults one-of-one Telegram @Names and assigns them to Rightful IP owners via a Lease-to-Own model. 

**Stage 1** Fund the process of acquisition of @Names from early holders using $OC 

**Stage 2** Verifies and Lease @name to Rightful IP owners in $OC (Lease-To-Own Model) until ownership transfer. 

**Early holders** **of Fragment Usernames -**  are compensated via $OC and can hold for long-term upside | **IP Owners -** gain access to their own @Name and be onboarded to 1B+ users Telegram ecosystem. 

#### How it Started? 

🏴‍☠ [Fragment.com](https://fragment.com) introduced one of the most forward-thinking innovations in the Telegram × TON ecosystem: collectible @usernames on-chain. With 1B+ users, this transformed simple handles into permanent, verifiable digital assets.

But a new problem emerged: many @names sit idle in open auctions—hoarded, overpriced, or stuck in limbo. The very parties who need them most—brands, celebrities, institutions—struggle to onboard smoothly, creating friction for adoption.

During Aug-25, we launched The Chill Gallery—an on-chain, multi-sig steward for one-of-one Telegram @Name Collectibles via collaborative, community-driven acquisition with the sole purpose of safeguarding and assigning these assets exclusively to verified IP owners: celebrities, brands, and institutions. 

Stewardship over speculation. No flipping nor gatekeeping. Only a clear, respectful path for rightful IP holders to claim and activate their identities in TON x Telegram ecosystem.

Names aren’t trophies; they’re trust. When aligned with their true owners, discovery improves, safety strengthens, and communities form faster.

To operationalize this at scale, we’re launching $OC, a utility token that powers—and transparently funds—the end‑to‑end process of acquiring and preserving the Fragment Collectible @Name NFTs on Telegram’s 1B+ user ecosystem.
