The Open League is a community initiative set to distribute TON-backed user incentives, aiming to activate five million users to TON projects in the next twelve months. The community has voted on this initiative to proceed, with 99.5% in favor of the proposal. Its mission is to foster engagement and growth within the TON Ecosystem through innovative methods and rewarding experiences.

Starting today, you can begin the Pilot Season. Upon completing it, users will be rewarded with the exclusive Junior Pilot Collectible, marking the beginning of an exciting year ahead filled with collectible achievements and rewards. Remember that to unlock these rewards, you must complete the Pilot Onboarding Quest first.

The Pilot Season brings forth an impressive lineup of projects with over 26 million active users:

Wallet
Fanton
tApps Center
Notcoin
Getgems

Rewards
The Open League's innovative reward structure begins with Soul-Bound Tokens (SBTs) in Level 1 of the Pilot Season. These non-transferable tokens, earned by completing quests, lay the foundation for user engagement. In Level 2, the program introduces XP rewards, which are off-chain and backed by TON, growing in value using a time-based exchange rate.

XP will be won in a weekly lottery, with SBTs serving as lottery tickets for the weekly draws. Users can increase their chances in the lottery by completing more quests and through the referral system, which rewards additional entries for bringing in new participants.
