# ONI

**The** [**ONI**](https://wax.bloks.io/tokens/ONI-wax-t.taco) **Token is the strategic token of the Taco Universe.** 

ONI is the key to obtaining rewards on Acryptia and other games. It can be obtained from [Taco Swap](https://swap.tacocrypto.io/swap), generated by Venues or [staking TACO/SHING](https://app.tacocrypto.io/collectors). Generated ONI has to be stored before claiming it by using Collectors.

**How to obtain ONI:**

* The [ONI](https://whitepaper.tacostudios.io/tokenomics/oni) Genesis Pool
* Generated passively by [Venues](https://whitepaper.tacostudios.io/nft-collection/collection/venue)

**ONI** can only be obtained by using [Collectors](https://whitepaper.tacostudios.io/tokenomics/broken-reference). They are upgradable NFTs which accumulate ONI tokens with a limited storage capacity which is reset upon claim.&#x20;

{% hint style="warning" %}
If a player would receive ONI tokens but does not hold a staked Collector or the Collector is at full capacity, the ONI would be lost.
