Link Anatomy

The Universal Access Schema (UAS) is a standardized, permissionless URL format that enables direct execution into an on-chain asset at the moment of intent.

A UAS link is not a redirect or deep link into an application.

It is a self-contained execution instruction that can be generated by any surface — wallets, bots, launchpads, dashboards, explorers, or static pages — without backend infrastructure.


The Universal Access Schema (UAS)

The most common integration pattern for UAS is to dynamically generate a link using the following base format:

https://buy.onchain.money/[chain]/[token]

This link alone is sufficient to initiate execution.

  • No backend required

  • No API keys

  • No authentication

  • No listings or approvals

Even a static site or bot can generate valid UAS links.


Base Format

https://buy.onchain.money/[chain]/[token]

Components

Component
Description

buy.onchain.money

ONCHAIN Gateway execution endpoint

[chain]

Chain identifier (slug)

[token]

Token contract address

Example:

This path encodes the execution target directly in the URL.


A UAS link encodes all required execution context in the URL itself:

  • The chain determines where execution occurs

  • The token address determines what asset is accessed

  • Execution is evaluated at click time, not link creation time

  • There is no session state or stored user context

If execution is possible at the moment of intent, it proceeds.

If not, the link fails gracefully.


UAS links are designed to be generated dynamically based on user context.


Example: Telegram bot


Example: Web (React)


Example: Node / backend


Use lowercase token addresses

Contract addresses should always be lowercase to avoid checksum or parsing issues.


Validate the chain slug

Only supported chain identifiers should be used.

If a chain is not supported, hide the execution surface or fall back to native behavior.


Do not URL-encode

The schema accepts raw hex addresses without encoding.


The base format is the integration:

Avoid unnecessary parameters unless explicitly required (e.g. attribution).


Generate dynamically when possible

Bots, dashboards, wallets, and scanners should construct the link directly using user-selected context.


No backend required

All logic can run client-side.

There are no API keys, no rate limits, and no authentication requirements.


Fail gracefully

If a chain or token is not supported, hide the button or defer to native behavior rather than forcing execution.


Attribution Parameters (Optional)

UAS links may include optional attribution parameters (such as UTMs) to provide execution context.

Attribution parameters:

  • Are optional

  • Do not affect execution behavior

  • Do not change routing, pricing, or settlement

See Optional Attribution Parameters (UTM) for details.
