Frequently Asked Questions

OnePapel is a crypto giveaway platform where you can participate in both paid and free giveaways. The system automatically assigns you a dedicated wallet address for secure and convenient participation. All winners are selected using our open-source ONERAND system (github.com/onepapel/onerand) which ensures complete fairness through cryptographic verification methods.

Simply log in to your account, select the giveaway you want to join, and click the 'Participate' button. No wallet connection is required as the system manages wallets automatically. For paid giveaways, ensure your assigned wallet has sufficient balance. Winners are determined using our ONERAND algorithm which creates a verifiable hash chain from all participant data.

OnePapel automatically generates and manages a dedicated wallet for each user to streamline participation. This secure system integrates with our ONERAND selection process by using your assigned wallet address as part of the cryptographic seed data for fair and verifiable winner selection.

Your balance is visible in your account dashboard and includes: (1) Available balance for paid giveaways, (2) Pending winnings, and (3) Withdrawable amounts. The system performs automatic checks before paid giveaway participation to ensure sufficient funds for the ONERAND verification process.

Navigate to the 'Wallet' section and follow the deposit instructions. All deposits are verified through blockchain confirmation before being credited. Note that funds may take 2-5 minutes to appear due to the cryptographic verification steps required by our system to maintain security and compatibility with the ONERAND selection protocol.

Winners are chosen automatically through our ONERAND system which creates a verifiable hash chain from: (1) All participant wallet addresses, (2) The exact closing timestamp, and (3) The giveaway parameters. This cryptographic method ensures complete fairness as the selection can be independently verified using the open-source ONERAND codebase.

Results appear immediately after the draw completes, typically within 3 hours of the ending time. This delay allows for: (1) Final participant verification, (2) Cryptographic hash chain generation using ONERAND, and (3) System-wide consistency checks. You'll receive a notification when results are ready.

Winnings are automatically sent to your OnePapel wallet within 3 hours of the draw completion. The distribution process includes: (1) ONERAND result verification, (2) Anti-fraud checks, and (3) Blockchain transaction preparation. You can then withdraw to your personal wallet after the funds clear our cryptographic verification process.

Entry fees are calculated by taking the current market price of the prize cryptocurrency (BTC, ETH, or SOL), adding a 28% platform fee, then dividing by the target number of participants. For example, for a 1 ETH prize (~$3,000) with 100 participants: ($3,000 + 28% = $3,840) → $38.40 per entry. The 28% fee supports platform development (15%), security updates (7%), and developer compensation (6%). Real-time calculations can be verified through our Fee Transparency Dashboard.

You can: 1) Check current crypto prices via our integrated CoinGecko/CoinMarketCap feeds, 2) View the exact 28% fee breakdown in your receipt, and 3) Audit calculations using our public API endpoint at /api/v1/fee-calculations. All historical fee allocations are published quarterly in our transparency reports.

Yes, but changes are announced 30 days in advance and never exceed ±5% per year. The current 28% rate has been stable since Q2 2025. Any adjustments are first voted on by our token holders through the OnePapel DAO governance system.

Participation fees are dynamically adjusted according to the current market value of the cryptocurrency prize. This real-time pricing mechanism ensures fairness and accuracy in fee calculations. Please note: While the entry fee may vary with market conditions, all other giveaway parameters including the prize amount, maximum participant count, and competition rules remain constant once the giveaway begins. Our system utilizes live market data from CoinGecko and CoinMarketCap to maintain precise pricing.

Prizes are automatically deposited to your OnePapel wallet after ONERAND verification completes. No additional action is required unless specified in special giveaway rules. The system handles all cryptographic verification steps to ensure proper fund allocation according to the provably fair ONERAND results.

All prizes are distributed within 3 hours after the giveaway ends. This timeframe includes: (1) Final ONERAND result confirmation, (2) Blockchain network preparation, and (3) System-wide consistency checks. Larger prizes may require additional verification steps.

Prize recipients are solely responsible for any applicable taxes in their jurisdiction. We recommend consulting a tax professional, especially for significant winnings from paid giveaways. Our ONERAND system maintains complete records of all draws for your financial reporting needs.
