Today, one of the biggest problems in the messaging world is fake channels and cloned profiles. Scammers copy branding, impersonate admins, and trick subscribers into sending them money. In traditional platforms like Telegram, the only protection is the “Report Spam” button — and then users wait, hoping moderators will take action.

At UNTON Messenger, we went further. We built a unique model into the very architecture of our platform — the Trust Economy. It combines recommendations, reputation, and referral bonuses, creating an ecosystem that is naturally resistant to fraud.

🔑 How It Works

1. Circle of Trust
   • Entry is possible only by invitation.
   • Each new user is verified by existing members.
   • Reputation is based on a “sponsorship” principle.
2. Reputation & Rating
   • The more verified, trustworthy invitations you provide — the higher your rating.
   • Reputation is cryptographically linked, so it cannot be faked.
3. Referral Bonuses
   • Every invited user earns you Yuntons (UNTON’s internal currency).
   • A clean referral history gives a multiplier (e.g., X1.2).
   • Achievements (“UNTON Ambassador,” merchandise, NFT rewards) are available only to trusted users.

🚫 What Happens to Scammers

• If a user creates a fake profile or cloned channel — they are automatically banned.
• All of their bonuses and Yuntons are wiped out.
• The inviter also loses their bonuses and faces penalties:
  • loss of all rewards tied to that user,
  • reduced earning multiplier (e.g., down to X0.5),
  • restrictions on sending new invitations,
  • permanent ban for repeated violations.

✅ Balance of Rewards and Risks

• For honest users:
  • fast growth of bonuses,
  • exclusive statuses, perks, and merchandise,
  • strong reputation and higher trust in the network.
• For dishonest users:
  • loss of bonuses,
  • reduced reputation,
  • account suspension or ban.

🎯 Why UNTON Is Better Than Other Messengers

Most messengers still don’t solve the problem of trust and fraud:

• Telegram → no referral economy, no responsibility for invites, fake channels thrive until users manually report them.
• WhatsApp → closed ecosystem, no public channels, but cloning of personal profiles and scam groups is widespread.
• Viber → has community channels, but little to no real verification, spam and scams are common.
• UNTON → introduces a Trust Economy, where every user is accountable for their circle. Honesty brings bonuses and growth, while fraud leads to loss of rewards, lower reputation, and eventual ban.

That’s the UNTON Trust Economy — a model where the community protects itself, and users are directly rewarded for keeping the ecosystem secure.
