# 7-Day Ticker Exclusivity

## Anti-PvP Protection

Anoncoin has introduced **7-day ticker exclusivity** to combat PvP (Player vs Player) dynamics that plague other launchpads.

***

## The Problem on Other Launchpads

On platforms like Pump.fun, when a ticker starts trending:

* ❌ Anyone can immediately copy the ticker
* ❌ Buyers get confused between the original and copycats
* ❌ Rug pulls using copycat tickers become common
* ❌ Value fragments across duplicate coins

***

## How 7-Day Ticker Exclusivity Works

When you launch a coin with a specific ticker on Anoncoin:

1. **No other coin** with the same ticker can be deployed for **7 days**
2. Protection starts from the **moment your coin goes live**
3. If the coin **graduates** within 7 days, the ticker stays exclusive
4. If the coin **does not graduate** within 7 days, the ticker may become available for reuse

***

## What This Means for You

### As a Creator

* Your ticker is **exclusive** during the critical first week
* You have a **window** to build community and momentum
* No one can use the same ticker during this period

### As a Buyer

* You can be confident the ticker you see is the **original**
* No confusion from multiple coins with the same symbol
* Reduced risk of buying a copycat rug

***

## Example

```
Day 0:  Creator launches $MOON
Day 1:  Someone tries to launch $MOON → ❌ Blocked
Day 3:  Another attempt at $MOON → ❌ Blocked
Day 5:  $MOON graduates (bonds) → Ticker remains exclusive
```

Or:

```
Day 0:  Creator launches $MOON
Day 7:  $MOON has NOT graduated → Ticker may become available
Day 8:  Someone else can now launch $MOON
```
