# 24-Hour Ticker Exclusivity

## Anti-PvP Protection

Anoncoin has introduced **24-hour 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 24-Hour 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 **24 hours**
2. Protection starts from the **moment your coin goes live**
3. If the coin **graduates** within 24 hours, the ticker becomes permanently locked
4. If the coin **does not graduate** within 24 hours, the ticker may become available for reuse

***

## What This Means for You

### As a Creator

* Your ticker is **exclusive** during the first 24 hours
* 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

```
Hour 0:   Creator launches $MOON
Hour 12:  Someone tries to launch $MOON → ❌ Blocked
Hour 20:  Another attempt at $MOON → ❌ Blocked
Hour 23:  $MOON graduates (bonds) → Ticker is permanently locked
```

Or:

```
Hour 0:   Creator launches $MOON
Hour 24:  $MOON has NOT graduated → Ticker may become available
Hour 25:  Someone else can now launch $MOON
```
