distribution, not extraction.
every other auth vendor pulls money out of your stack each month. orangecheck puts bitcoin into your users' hands, keeps a fixed 20% platform fee, and rebates the rest to you. the relationship inverts.

ship a sign-in that pays your users in bitcoin.
Your users earn real sats — actual bitcoin, no token, no points balance — and carry them across every site that integrates. BIP-322 self- custody works end-to-end today; federation-custodied onboarding lights up once the recruited guardian-set completes its DKG ceremony. Sovereignty isn't a feature here. It's the exit door, and it's the whole product.

§ why integrate
three reasons it pays to add oc.
[02]
the only sign-in that pays your users.
no other auth flow puts real bitcoin in your users' wallets — not points, not a token, not a stablecoin. once they have one site that does, they notice. they remember which sites offered it first.
[03]
bitcoin is the trust anchor, not us.
every receipt verifies offline against bitcoin block headers, against an open spec, with an open verifier. if orangecheck is acquired, regulated, or simply gone, your integration keeps working. that property comes from bitcoin, not from a promise we made.
§ where the sats come from
the four-way split.
You set the price per event. OC keeps a fixed 20%. The rest splits between your user (you choose, 0–80%) and your rebate (whatever's left). Same envelope, four destinations.
example · 1,000 sats / event · 65% user share
you fund1,000 sats · 100%
OC platform fee200 sats · 20%
user cashback520 sats · 52%
your rebate280 sats · 28%
no token, ever.
sats are the only unit. no me.ochk.io coin, no governance token, no airdrop.
no custody you didn't choose.
wallet users keep their keys from day one. email users start in federation custody and graduate to a wallet they control in one click. the on-ramp is custodial because that's how on-ramps work; the destination is not.
anyone can verify, even without us.
every receipt is signed and anchored to a bitcoin block. verifiable offline in any browser, with no oc servers needed.
deeper mechanics — anchor pipeline, abuse limits, federation custody — on /how and /security.
§ graduation pulse

Rolling 30-day counts of users who left federation custody. High is the brand winning. Low is the brand failing. We publish it so our incentives stay aligned with yours. graduate now

§ the four no's
what we don't do is the product, too.
[01]
no token.
what you earn is sats — actual bitcoin — not a points balance, not an airdrop, not a proprietary unit. published on docs.ochk.io/charter as a binding commitment.
[02]
no custody.
the only place worth being is your own wallet. federation guardians hold the on-ramp collectively — orangecheck is one guardian among several, never the single custodian. graduation to a wallet you control is one click, the day you want it. that's how 'no custody' stays true.
[03]
no cross-site tracking.
each integrating site verifies its own envelopes locally. me·ochk·io doesn't maintain a graph of which sites you sign into. that's the privacy distinction from sign in with google.
[04]
no kyc.
orangecheck never collects, requests, brokers, or routes pii. an email or a bitcoin wallet gets you a working oc identity, full stop. sybil resistance is the composition of (1) paid-action history (every event costs the integrator real sats), (2) BIP-322 sat-bond attestation (your sats stay in your wallet, oc sees only the attestation hash), (3) integrator-defined gates (each integrator picks its own minimum bond size, age, or cross-integrator event count). no PII to OC, ever — see /charter.
§ start now
one identity. sats by default. graduation by design.
sign up with email or a bitcoin wallet you already use. no token, no kyc — orangecheck never collects pii, period. start in federation custody if you don't have a wallet, graduate to one you control the day you do — same identity, same balance, same reputation throughout.
