Wink (formerly Only1)

Wink, formerly Only1, is a paid-content platform on Solana where creators sell memberships, pay-per-view messages and tips to fans. Its founder calls it "OnlyFans on Solana". Fans pay in USDC, and the money goes straight to the creator's wallet, so no bank sits in the middle. The platform has its own token, LIKE, which funds buybacks and staking rewards.

Only1 started as an NFT launchpad. It became a creator platform in 2023 and took the Wink name in 2025. Creators have earned more than $4 million on it, founder Leon said in March 2026.

This is not the WINK token on CoinMarketCap ("Wink Finance") or the Solana Blinks marketplace that also uses the name.

Status, October 2026: the w.ink domain the team has used no longer resolves, and the official X account has not posted since 29 June 2026. The docs at trywink.gitbook.io are still online.

How does Wink work?

Wink pays creators directly into their own wallets. A fan's payment moves in USDC on Solana from the fan's wallet to the creator's wallet. The platform does not hold the funds and release them later, which is how card-based sites work (docs).

Signing up does not require a crypto wallet. You log in with a social account and Wink creates a Solana wallet for you, using a service called Web3Auth. The private key is not stored by Wink, and you can export it to keep access to the funds if the social login stops working (social login docs).

Experienced crypto users can connect Phantom CASH$0.9990.0%, Solflare or Glow instead. Transactions are gasless, so a fan needs only USDC and no SOL.

To buy USDC with a card, Wink added FinchPay in February 2026. FinchPay takes Visa and Mastercard.

Wink passes, subscriptions and the pass marketplace

Wink sells access in two ways (memberships docs):

• Passes are lifetime memberships with a capped supply. A fan buys one once and keeps access for good. Fans can also resell a pass or give it away.
• Subscriptions are monthly memberships. The docs still listed them as in development when we checked in October 2026.

Resales happen on each creator's pass marketplace. The seller keeps 90% of the price, and the rest is split between the platform and the creator who made the pass. Whichever listing is cheapest, the creator's own stock or a fan's resale, sets the "Buy" price.

Resale is the main thing card-based sites like OnlyFans don't offer. In 2024 a creator on the platform sold three passes at 250 SOL each, the team says.

Wink messenger, pay-per-view and tips

Most of the selling happens in Wink's messenger (messenger docs):

• Pay-per-view (PPV): a creator sends a locked post, and the fan pays to open it.
• Tips: fans tip in USDC or send virtual gifts, and the creator is paid instantly. A creator can also post a price list in their bio, for example for custom videos.

Creators also get CRM tools: team permissions, earnings splits with a manager or agency, notes on each fan, and reports on who pays and who keeps coming back.

To help fans find creators, Wink has an AI-powered Explore page. The docs say it uses OpenAI's CLIP model.

Since March 2026 the team has been testing referral links that share profits with whoever brings in a buyer (Leon).

Wink AI creators

In late June 2026 Wink announced its next step: AI agents that "create, post, and earn for you". The idea is that you don't need to film yourself to be a creator. Leon put it this way: "no studio, no bank, no permission."

The roadmap still lists AI agents as in progress. We found no docs, launch date or pricing for them. The official account has not posted since.

Wink fees

Wink advertises payments with no middleman, but the platform still takes a cut. The fees, per the docs as of October 2026:

These rates are close to OnlyFans' 20%. The difference is speed and access: payouts land in the creator's wallet straight away, and no card network or bank can freeze them.

In 2024, The Block reported 0% fees on tips and subscriptions. The current docs show the rates above, so check the live fee schedule before you rely on either.

LIKE token (Wink, prev. Only1)

LIKE is Wink's token on Solana. Its mint address is 3bRTivrVsitbmCTGtqwp7hxXPsybkjn4XLNtPsHqa3zR, and its maximum supply is 500 million (token docs). Price data trackers list it as "Wink (prev. Only1)".

The token launched in 2021 through an initial DEX offering on the Raydium RAY$1.85+1.1% AcceleRaytor launchpad. It was then listed on KuCoin, MEXC, Gate and other exchanges (team timeline).

LIKE has three uses:

• Buyback and burn: Wink uses platform revenue to buy LIKE on the market. Part is burned and the rest goes back into rewards. Since an April 2026 update, buybacks happen the moment a tip, membership or PPV payment goes through, not in periodic batches.
• Creator staking: fans stake LIKE in a pool tied to a creator and earn rewards. These come from a community pool at first, and later from quarterly buybacks.
• Airdrops: active users receive LIKE after events.

In the 2024 design The Block described, LIKE stakers also voted on content that had been flagged for moderation. Live price, market cap and supply are shown in the token widgets on this page.

Who is Wink for?

Wink suits creators who have been cut off by banks or payment processors, or who live where cashing out is hard. The team names Japan as one target market. It also suits fans who are happy to pay in USDC, and those who want a pass they can resell later.

It is also a fit for crypto users who want exposure to LIKE's buybacks and creator staking, provided they accept a small, thinly traded token.

It is a poor fit for creators who need a large existing audience. A Solana app has far fewer paying fans than OnlyFans or Fansly, and The Block flagged getting creators to move their followers across as the main challenge. It is also a poor fit for anyone who needs a stable, long-running service. Read the risks below first.

Is Wink safe? Risks to know

• The website is offline. As of 15 October 2026, w.ink does not resolve, and only1.app still forwards to it. In April 2026 the team mentioned a "new url" for Phantom whitelisting but did not publish it where we could find it. Check any Wink link against the official @Try_Wink account before you connect a wallet, since phishing copies are a real risk.
• The team has gone quiet. The official account's last post was on 29 June 2026, announcing the AI features. The founder's last post was on 3 July. We found no shutdown notice, but no launches since then either.
• The audit can't be checked. The roadmap says Kudelski Security audited the smart contract. We could not find a public report, so we cannot say which program or version it covered.
• Upgrade control is unknown. The main program is 5XDdQrpNCD89LtrXDBk5qy4v1BW1zRCPyizTahpxDTcZ. The explorers we tried would not load it, so we could not check who controls upgrades: a single key, a multisig or nobody.
• Custody is mostly in your hands. Payments go wallet to wallet, and social-login wallets can be exported. You still depend on Wink's front end, its Web3Auth login and its gas sponsor to use the app.
• The token has collapsed. LIKE traded near $1.18 in September 2021 and has since fallen more than 99.9%. Its buyback depends on platform revenue, which is small.
• Legal and policy exposure. Adult creator platforms face payment, legal and app-store pressure. The team says OnlyFans "tried to sue us" in 2025, the year of the rebrand, but has published no details.

Wink vs OnlyFans, Fansly and Patreon

• OnlyFans and Fansly have far bigger audiences, card payments and established support. Their downside is that payouts go through banks and card networks, which can hold or block them.
• Patreon suits creators of non-adult content who want ordinary card subscriptions.
• Wink offers instant USDC payouts, resellable passes and a token, but its audience is small. Its 20% fee on most sales is no cheaper than OnlyFans.

Wink team, investors and history

Wink was founded by Leon (@leon_only1). The docs list 16 investors. They include Animoca Brands, the Solana Foundation, Newman Capital, Folius Ventures and Modular Capital (investors page). The team says Alameda Research also backed it in 2021.

In April 2024, The Block reported a new $1.3 million round led by Newman Group. That took the total raised to $4.8 million.

Milestones from the team's own timeline:

• 2021: launched as Only1, ran an NFT launchpad and held the LIKE initial DEX offering.
• 2022: helped launch about a dozen NFT projects that processed more than $5 million. Lost funds in the FTX collapse but kept going.
• 2023: relaunched as a Web3 alternative to OnlyFans.
• 2024: raised new funding.
• 2025: processed more than $4 million in content sales and renamed itself Wink.
• 2026: added card top-ups through FinchPay, made buybacks instant, and announced AI creator agents in June. Public activity stopped after that.
