Hybrid Auth System: A New Access Layer
We have completed another important milestone from the AlgoTron roadmap — the Hybrid Auth System. This update introduces a controlled invite-only access model while preserving flexibility in how users sign in to the platform.
AlgoTron remains a private community-driven platform. Access is intentionally restricted to maintain platform stability, infrastructure quality, and controlled growth.
Invite-Only by Design
Registration in AlgoTron is available only via referral code. This rule applies to all entry points and all authentication methods.
A referral code:
- Is mandatory for first-time registration
- Can be obtained for free through official community channels
- Does not limit platform functionality after registration

Multiple Authentication Methods
The Hybrid Auth System supports several login options, allowing users to choose the most convenient entry point while keeping a unified account model:
- Email and password
- OAuth providers (Google, GitHub, Microsoft, Slack)
- Telegram Mini App authentication
Regardless of the method used, all authentication flows are tied to a single internal user identity.

Telegram Mini App: Full Account Control
AlgoTron can be accessed directly from Telegram as a Mini App. Despite the simplified entry flow, the system preserves full account control:
- Users can log out from the Telegram Mini App
- The same device can be used to sign in as a different user
- Telegram authentication does not lock the session to a single identity
This ensures that Telegram login behaves the same way as classic web authentication, without hidden session coupling.

Where to Get a Referral Code
Referral codes are distributed openly through the AlgoTron community. You can always obtain one for free via:

What This Changes
The Hybrid Auth System provides:
- Controlled access without friction
- Consistent behavior across all login methods
- Clear separation between authentication and user identity
- A foundation for future role-based access and permissions
This update strengthens platform integrity while keeping user experience predictable and transparent.
More roadmap milestones are coming soon.
