Field Manual

TiCkTOM is a game about building an income, defending it, and turning it into something real. The first three decisions shape everything after them.

You open TiCkTOM inside Telegram or in an ordinary browser — there is nothing to install. You can sign in with Telegram, with Google or with a 6-digit code we email you, so you do not need a Telegram account at all and there is no password to lose. If you already have a TiCkTOM account in Telegram, open Settings in the Mini App and verify your email; after that, Google and email sign-in both land on that same account. Withdrawing tokens, cancelling a withdrawal and connecting a wallet still need the Mini App inside Telegram.

Your planet

New accounts start on TON, one of the three token planets alongside Bitcoin and Ethereum. Each planet has its own map, its own neighbours, and its own crypto in the ground. Orphan is not a starting planet: it is where inactive players are sent.

Your position

On your planet you occupy a coordinate. Distance is real: who can reach you, who you can reach, and how much a raid is worth all depend on it. You can move later, but treat your first position as a choice rather than an accident.

Your first hour

1. Buy your first card. Cards are what produce coins while you are away — nothing else you do in the first hour matters as much.
2. Complete the tasks in the Tasks tab. They are the cheapest coins in the game.
3. Open the map and look around before you attack anything. Seeing the neighbourhood is free; being seen is not.
4. Buy a shield before you go to sleep, not after you are raided.

The game began inside Telegram and still lives there. It is no longer only there: it opens in an ordinary browser, and you can sign in — or start from nothing — without a Telegram account at all.

One person, one account

Telegram and Google know nothing about each other. Telegram never tells us an email address; Google never tells us a Telegram account. So if you already play in Telegram and you sign up with Google, the game has no way to recognise you — it would make a second account, with its own coins, cards and streak. Balances are never merged.

Staying signed in

A web sign-in is good for 30 days, but it ends sooner if you close the tab: on purpose, it is kept only in the tab you signed in from, so a new tab means signing in again. Changing network — different Wi-Fi, mobile data, switching a VPN on — does not sign you out. A sign-in that outlives the tab it was made in is a sign-in somebody else can find on a shared computer.

Your devices

Settings lists every sign-in that is still valid: the kind of device and browser, when it started and when it was last used. Sign one out, or sign all of them out at once. Do that any time you have used a computer you do not own.

Connecting your X account

Your profile's edit sheet has a Connected Accounts row. Connecting X (formerly Twitter) is not another way to sign in — you stay on the account you are already on. It only proves that the handle is yours.

We ask X one question, once: who you are. We never post, never read your timeline, and never see your X password. X's own permission screen mentions reading posts because that is the smallest permission it hands out alongside “who is this account”; it cannot be narrowed further, and we make no such call.

One X account belongs to one TiCkTOM account. If that handle is already connected somewhere else, the game tells you rather than moving it quietly. Disconnect sits in the same row, and disconnecting deletes the handle we stored.

Coins are the game's own currency. They are not crypto, they cannot be withdrawn, and there are a lot of them — but every real thing in TiCkTOM is bought with them first.

Your income is measured as coins per hour, written PPH. It is the single most important number on your screen, and it comes from three places:

• Cards — the main engine, and the only part you control directly.
• Reward Wheel bundles — permanent PPH won on the wheel.
• Gift packages and campaigns — one-off grants.

All three add into the same total. A card upgrade raises it permanently; a wheel win can raise it permanently too. Some boosts are temporary and shown separately — a boost that expires is not part of your base PPH, and the app deliberately keeps the two apart so your real income is never flattered by something about to run out.

A card is a business you own. It costs coins to buy, more coins to upgrade, and it keeps producing for as long as you keep coming back.

Each card has a level. Upgrading raises both its price and its hourly output, and the output rises faster than you would guess from the price of the first few levels — the early levels of a card are the worst value it will ever offer, which is why upgrading a card you already own usually beats buying a new one.

Daily Combo

Every day, three specific cards form the Daily Combo. Own or upgrade all three that day and you get a bonus. The combo also feeds the Mission Hub — see section 13.

Cards no longer pour coins straight into your balance. Each one fills its own store, and you collect it.

Every card now holds what it has produced since you last emptied it. You can Claim a single card, or Claim all in one tap. Either way, claiming opens only once at least 3 hours of your total production is waiting across all your cards. Each card also tracks its lifetime produced, so you can see which of your cards has actually earned its keep rather than guessing from its level.

Capacity

A card's store is not bottomless. Capacity is 20 × its hourly output — twenty hours of production. Once full, the card stops: anything it would have made is simply lost.

Your level is set by your coin balance, and it controls how many mines you can hold and what an invited friend is worth to you.

There are thirteen levels. You do not "spend" your way up — the level follows the balance you have reached. Note the fourth column: your level is your mine limit, which is the quietest and most important effect of levelling up.

Your planet is a grid. Everything on it — players, mines, your own base — sits at a coordinate, and distance decides what is worth doing.

Open the map from Home. You can pan and zoom freely; you are not limited to what you can reach. What you can act on is the same: anything on your planet, with distance only cutting what you take from players and Invaders.

Your baseWhere you live. Tap it for Instant Shield, Random Teleport and items.

A player, onlineActive in the last 400 seconds — an attack on them is refused.

A player, offlineRaidable, and not collecting — so there is more to take.

ShieldedA raid on this one fails. Do not spend an action on it.

Empty groundNobody there. You can lock or teleport onto it.

LockedHeld by someone. Not available to take.

A mineCrypto in the ground. Mining it costs a full action; only Invader raids cost a third.

Distance costs you

A crypto mine pays the same from any distance. A player or Invader next door pays 100%. The further away it is, the less of it you collect, tapering down to a floor of 10% at extreme range. Distance is measured in grid steps, not straight lines — going three across and four up is seven, not five.

The practical consequence: a modest neighbour beats a rich stranger. Players who sit at the centre of a busy area out-earn players who chase the biggest name on the planet.

You can take coins from other players. They can take coins from you. This is the part of TiCkTOM that has an opponent in it.

What is actually at risk

A raid does not take a percentage of everything a player has ever owned. What sits in the pot is:

• their current coin balance, plus
• the income they have produced but not yet collected, counted back 24 hours,
• minus whatever has already been taken from them in that window.

Distance then decides how fast you can take it, not how much is there: the coefficient scales your item’s mining power, and the pot caps what that power can reach. A far-away target with a large balance can still be worth less than a neighbour with a small one.

How often you can act

Raids and mine operations share one allowance: twenty actions per two-hour window, or forty if you hold TiCkTOM Premium. When it runs out you wait, or you reset the cooldown from the shop.

Not every action costs the same. Attacking a real player spends a whole one. Raiding an Invader — the coin mines on the map — costs a third, so three Invader raids spend one action between them. Nobody loses coins to an Invader raid, which is why it is priced lower than going after a person. The allowance itself is shared: when it is gone, it is gone for both.

Revenge

Being raided is not the end of the exchange. A raid on you can grant a revenge opportunity against the player who did it — check your notifications rather than your memory.

A shield is the cheapest thing in the game relative to what it saves. Most large losses are not bad luck; they are a night spent without one.

Shields are bought in the shop and come in tiers. The cheap ones cost coins and last six to twelve hours; the longer ones hold for a full day, three days or a week. While a shield is up, raids against you fail.

Fifty-five shield variants exist across the price range, so the shop shows you what your level and balance can actually reach rather than the whole catalogue.

Instant Shield — bought for the moment, not from a shelf

Tap your own base on the map and one of the three options is Instant Shield: two hours of protection, bought right there, with no item to find in the shop first.

Its price is worked out for you, at that moment, from two things:

• 1% of your hourly income per hour of cover, and
• 0.05% of your coin balance per hour of cover.

Both matter, and the balance term usually dominates — a stored balance is typically many times an hour's income, and it is the balance a raider actually takes. A player with nothing saved pays almost nothing; a player sitting on a fortune pays in proportion to what the shield is protecting. You can pay in coins, USDT or Telegram Stars, at 10,000,000 coins = 1 Star = 1 cent, with a floor of one Star.

Three a day, and never a second one while the first is still running. The price is re-checked every time you open the panel, so what you see is what you pay.

Random Teleport

The second option on your own base. One tap moves your base somewhere else on the map for a coin price that depends on your level — 50,000 at level 1, doubling each level. It is not truly random: the game places you where there is actually something to raid, rather than dropping you in empty space. Three a day.

Two protections you already have

Neither is a shield you buy, and neither is enough on its own.

Being online. If you have done anything in the last 400 seconds, an attack on you is refused outright — the attacker is told “Target is online” and spends nothing. This is why raiders hunt sleeping players: while you keep playing, you cannot be raided at all.

The per-target limit. One player can attack you at most 3 times in any hour. It does not stop a raid and it does not stop several different players; it stops one person emptying you with rapid repeat hits.

Locks and teleports

• Locks hold a position on the map so nobody else can take it.
• Teleports move you somewhere better — closer to targets, or further from one who keeps finding you.
• Transfers move things between accounts you control.

Mines are the part of the map that pays in real crypto rather than coins. This is a different activity from raiding, and confusing the two is the most common beginner error.

Scattered across your planet are mines holding the planet's token. You claim one, it runs for a period, and you collect what it produced. Unlike a raid, nobody loses anything when you mine — you are taking from the ground, not from a person.

Your mine limit is the reason levelling matters even after your income is comfortable: a Titan runs thirteen mines at once, a Starter runs one.

Cards produce coins. The shop sells the things coins alone do not get you: crypto mines, shields, teleports, transfers — separately, or bundled together at a discount.

Crypto being cheaper than Stars is deliberate, not a mistake to report. Telegram takes a cut of everything paid in Stars; paying in USDT skips that cut, and we would rather hand the difference to you than keep the price identical on both.

Bundles get cheaper while they sit

A bundle that is not selling does not wait for you at full price. It opens at 10% off and takes another 5% off every 12 hours, down to a floor of 35%. Stock is limited, and a bundle that sells out comes back 12 hours later — and the new batch starts again at 10% off, so waiting for a sellout does not make it cheaper.

The wheel is the only place in the game where a single tap can permanently change your income.

Spins are earned through play and can also be bought with Telegram Stars or tokens. The prize table is genuinely mixed: coins, items, temporary PPH boosts, extra spins — and permanent PPH bundles, which are the ones worth caring about.

New players get a generous run of introductory spins, so the wheel is worth learning early while it is cheap.

A daily and weekly set of goals, with chests you unlock by playing normally rather than by playing differently.

Open it from the button under the map on Home. Inside are two tracks:

Daily

Seven chests along two lines — a free line everyone has, and a premium line. Six unlock as you do the day's things: mine, raid a player, buy a shield or lock, swap a token, spin the wheel, have an invited friend log in. The seventh, Full House, unlocks when all six have. Each chest tells you what it wants and gives you a Go button that takes you to exactly the right screen rather than dropping you in a menu. The whole board resets every 24 hours.

Weekly

A longer list with bigger targets, ending in a final chest whose tier depends on how many chests you opened that week. Miss a day and you can still finish the week.

Keys

Keys come mainly from the Daily Combo — one per combo card, plus three more for completing all three — the daily Gift Code, and your login streak on days 5 and 9; a few one-off tasks (such as verifying your email) and some gift packages add more. They are what open chests, so the combo and the hub are one system in practice. An unlocked chest waits seven days for a key, then it is gone. You can see every one you are holding, with its countdown, under Chests on your profile.

Four boards, each ranking something different. Knowing which is which is the difference between competing and hoping.

The 24hr and weekly boards pay the top finishers a temporary PPH boost. The Events tab shows what is running now and what is coming, with a countdown to the start — so you can be ready for an event rather than discovering it half over. Finished events drop off.

A wall of other players, deliberately built so you cannot use it as a target list.

Swipe left from the top of Home, or tap TiCkbook. You get a grid of players — face, mood, name, level — that you can sort six ways:

• All — everyone active in the last 30 days, newest members first. It sits last in the row (the list opens on Active), and it is the only sort you can scroll to the end of.
• Shuffle — random. Tap it again to re-roll. It draws a fresh window every time, so it will never reach a last row and is not the one to use if you are looking for a specific person.
• Active — who has been online most recently.
• Level — highest first.
• Champions — players who finished top three in an event that paid out.
• New — the newest faces that qualify.

Discover shows nobody's coordinates, coin balance or shield state, and there is no way to sort by wealth. That is on purpose: it is a place to find people, not prey. Tap anyone to open their profile, where their lifetime record, achievements and the Add friend button live.

Each tile shows a player's mood sticker and, if they have set one, their status line — the one thing on the tile they wrote themselves.

To appear in the curated sorts — Shuffle, Active, Level, Champions, New — you need to be level 3 or above, off Orphan, at least two days old, and active in the last week. All drops the level and age rules and widens the last one: it lists anyone off Orphan who was active in the last 30 days, whatever their level and however new their account. That is the point of it.

A small arcade from CADINU Labs, our partner. Pick a game, play, see the result.

Three HTML5 games live in the Games tab: Gem Jumper, Sky Fighter and Firefly. They were built by CADINU Labs and run inside TiCkTOM. They are free, they need no coins to start, and you can play them on your own as often as you like, though only a limited number of runs on each game are scored each day.

The screen is one page: the three titles, each with a Play button, and under each the best score so far and who holds it, your own best, and how many runs have been played. There is no way to play against somebody here: Mini Games is solo play only.

More games in CADINU Games. Above the three titles, Join here to play 45 games opens CADINU Games, CADINU Labs' own arcade in Telegram, with 45 titles. It is a separate app with its own account and its own rules: nothing you do there changes your TiCkTOM balance, level or cards. The link tells CADINU Games that you came from TiCkTOM, and we count the taps on the button.

Scores are not paid out. Not yet, and not by accident. A game that runs in your browser works out its own score there, which means a score can be made up without playing — so paying coins against one would simply hand money to whoever looked first.

What is happening meanwhile is measurement. We are watching how the arcade is actually used, and the amounts will be set from what players really did rather than from a guess.

Out of a solo run? Watch a short ad within ten minutes and your score for that run is doubled, once per run. The same ad pays 1,000,000 coins, at most 3 times an hour and 10 times a day. It is offered in solo play only: a doubled score bought in a match is one your opponent never had.

Telegram lets a Premium account boost a channel. Boost ours, and keep it up, and the game pays you for it.

The reward is not for boosting — it is for still boosting three days later. A boost taken away before then pays nothing, and a boost already paid for can never be paid for twice. If you hold several boosts at once, each one is counted and paid separately.

There is nothing to claim. When a boost matures, the coins and the spin arrive on their own and the bot tells you they have.

Nearly four out of five TiCkTOM players arrived through a friend. The invite system pays accordingly.

You get coins four ways when you invite someone:

1. On signup — a flat 37,500 coins to you for every new player who joins through your invite on Telegram, whether or not they have Telegram Premium (a Google sign-up pays no signup bonus).
2. As they level — a payment each time they reach a new level, from 2,000,000 coins at Novice up to 600,000,000 at Titan (see the table in section 6).
3. At milestones — bonus payments at 1, 3, 6, 10, 25, 50 and 100 friends, rising from 25,000 to 30,000,000 coins.
4. As they collect — 3% of the card income they claim, paid to you on top rather than taken from them; 4% once 5 of your invited friends have played in the last 7 days, 5% once 15 have. Only your first 25 invites pay it, and it never pays you more in an hour than your own hourly income, if you have one.

Your link works everywhere

The same invite link works two ways. Tapped inside Telegram, it opens TiCkTOM straight to your invite. Opened anywhere else — a text message, a tweet, a browser with no Telegram installed — it lands on a TiCkTOM web page offering Telegram or Google as the way in, so a friend who has never touched Telegram can still join through it. Either door, the same code follows them and the credit for the invite is yours.

The map of your network

Your invites are not a list, they are a map. Everyone you brought in is a bubble, sized and coloured by the level they have reached, joined by a line to whoever invited them. Your own bubble sits at the centre. Bubbles cannot overlap — push one and it shoulders the others aside; drag one and it is the only one that follows your finger. Tap a bubble to see what that person is actually worth to you.

The map runs three levels deep, because your earnings do: the people you invited, the people they invited, and one layer after that.

The coin rewards above never stop. Revenue Share is something else entirely: a cut of what the platform actually earns, paid in real value.

Qualifying

You need 10 invited friends who have reached level 3. Every friend you have ever invited counts towards that bar, including ones from long before the programme existed.

What you earn a share of

Your commission comes out of the platform's profit on what your friends spend, not the headline price. Different purchases carry different margins:

Crypto miners are low because most of what a player pays for one funds the crypto that miner pays back out. Coin purchases pay no commission at all — those coins were minted by the game, so sharing them would mean paying you out of our own money rather than out of revenue.

Your rate

Your share climbs for the first six months and then settles. The months are counted per friend, from the day that friend joined — not from the day you started the programme. So every new friend you bring in begins their own climb from 10% to 60%, however long you have been in the programme, and at any moment you are earning a mix of rates across your whole group rather than one.

Three levels deep

The table above is your direct friends. You also earn, at a flat rate, from the people they invite and the people those invite — for the full 36 months, without the climb and without the decline.

Levels 2 and 3 are flat and run the whole 36 months because their job is different from level 1’s. Level 1 rewards recruiting; levels 2 and 3 reward having built recruiters, and that value does not fade the way a single introduction does.

Getting paid

Earnings sit for 21 days before they can be withdrawn — the window in which a refund or a chargeback would reverse them. After that, claiming moves the money into your in-app wallet, and from there it behaves like any other balance.

You will be notified in the app and by the bot the moment you qualify, and again with your daily earnings.

Where the crypto side of the game lives. Six tokens, and a route between all of them.

Swap converts one token into another at the current rate, with a fee shown before you confirm. Deposit brings crypto in from outside. Withdraw sends it out to your own wallet.

Bringing crypto in

A deposit needs two things to reach your account: the address, and the memo — a short code like TT7K3M9Q that the app gives you when you start the deposit. The address is shared by every player, so the memo is the only thing that says the money is yours. A transfer that arrives without it cannot be matched to anyone.

If you hold your own wallet — Tonkeeper, Phantom, MetaMask — connect it and the app fills in both for you. If your crypto sits on an exchange such as Coinbase, you can still deposit, but only on a network whose withdrawal form has a memo field. TON has one on every exchange. Solana almost never does: there, withdraw to your own wallet first and deposit from it.

Taking crypto out

A withdrawal goes to a wallet you have connected and proven — never to an address typed into a box. Connect it once on the withdraw screen and it is remembered; proving it is what stops anyone who reaches your account from redirecting your money somewhere you have never been.

Pick the network carefully. The same asset can exist on several, and a transfer sent on one network to an address that only exists on another cannot be recovered by anybody, including us.

A token that cannot be swapped and has no network fee of its own has no minimum. A fixed fee is taken in addition, shown on the confirmation before you agree to it.

Once submitted, some withdrawals go out straight away and some are checked first. Either way nothing further is needed from you, and you can cancel it from your history right up until it is sent.

The card market: freeze a card into a deed and sell it to another player at auction, or bid on somebody else's.

Reach it from the button under the map — the duck with the auction gavel — or from the row inside your card income panel. The badge on that button counts cards listed since you last opened it, so it goes back to zero when you look. Your own listings never count.

Take a card to level 10 and you can mint it into a deed: a transferable object that carries the card's level with it. Minting freezes the card — it stops producing for you while it is a deed — and the deed can then be listed.

Selling

Auctions run for 24 hours. A bid in the last 5 minutes extends the clock, so an auction cannot be won by sniping it in the final second. The platform takes 10% of the sale.

Bidding

Placing a bid locks the funds — you cannot spend them elsewhere while the bid stands. Lose the auction and they are released; win it and the card is yours. The small bid fee exists to make spam bidding cost something.

Activating what you bought

Redeeming a deed turns it back into a working card on your account. Two rules:

• If you already own that card, a deed only activates if it is higher than your card, which then rises to the deed's level. At the same or a lower level it is refused, and the deed stays yours to sell.
• An activated card is locked out of the market for 7 days, so a card cannot be flipped between accounts the same afternoon.

Every deed carries its own history — who owned it, what it sold for, and when — behind the History button.

When nobody bids

An auction that runs its full 24 hours without a single bid is not lost. You can put another 24 hours on the clock — and you can do that three times. After the third extension the listing is finished for good: the Extend button disappears, and the deed comes back to you to relist or to redeem.

Every card you own can be shown to somebody who has no account, no Telegram and no intention of installing anything. That is what a passport is: a public page for one card.

Share a card from your card income panel and you get a link. The page it opens carries the card's own artwork, its name, the level it has reached, and what it produces every hour. It opens in any browser, and it previews properly when the link is pasted into Telegram or X rather than arriving as a bare address.

It is built for the moment before somebody is a player — which is also why printed card backs carry a QR code that lands on the same page. Someone holding a physical card can point a camera at it and see what that card does, without being asked to install anything first.

A mutual link between two players. Nobody becomes your friend without agreeing to it, and friends cannot attack each other.

Open somebody's profile and tap Add friend. Nothing happens to them until they accept — a request is an offer, not a fact. It waits at the top of their TiCk Hub → Friends list, where they can accept or decline. If you both happen to send a request to each other, that counts as agreement and you are connected immediately.

What being friends changes

• You cannot attack each other. Enforced by the game, not by etiquette — the raid is refused.
• You get told when a friend attacks another player (you see only the size of the attack) and, if that friend has Premium, when their shield runs out, so you can gift them one. Never where they are, never who they hit. The notification says what happened, not where.
• You can turn those notifications off in Settings; while they are on, you get at most 30 of them a day.

Unfriending is not instant

Because being friends means you cannot attack each other, ending it instantly would be a way to drop a shield the other person did not know they were relying on. So unfriending starts a 24-hour countdown. You stay friends — and stay unable to attack each other — for the whole of it, and you can cancel at any point before it runs out. The other player sees the countdown too.

Everyone you know, in one screen. Four tabs: Friends, Enemies, Activity and Discover.

Reached from the HUB button on the home card. It used to be a menu standing in front of screens you could already open; now it is the screen itself.

Friends

Everyone you are connected to. Requests waiting for your answer sit at the top of the same list with Accept and Decline on the row — they are no longer a tab of their own, so a request cannot sit unanswered somewhere you were not looking. The number on the Friends tab counts exactly those. Requests you sent are at the bottom under a line, where you can take one back.

Enemies

A declared rivalry, and it takes two: you declare, they accept. Declarations waiting on you sit at the top of this tab with the same two buttons, and the tab carries their count.

It grants nothing. Not a bonus, not a shortcut, not their location, not an attack you could not already make. Every rule that applies to a stranger applies to an enemy. It is a label the two of you agreed to wear — and needing both of you is what stops it being a way to follow somebody who never agreed to be followed.

You cannot be friends and enemies with the same person. Whichever comes second is refused.

Activity

The last two days of what happened to the people you know: who was raided and for how much, who shielded whom, and who you newly became friends with.

The attacker is never named. Your friends are told the size of a raid you launched and never who you hit; this is the same rule seen from the other side. Naming both would turn two careful features into one spotting network.

Gifting a friend a shield

On a raid line, tap Shield to see the price, then Gift to pay it. Your friend gets two hours of protection. Nothing is credited to them and nothing comes back to you — you are buying them time, not sending them coin.

The price is worked out from their balance and income, not yours, because what is being protected is theirs. A beginner shielding a whale is quoted the whale's price and usually cannot afford it; that is the design, not a fault.

It is refused when your friend is already shielded — a gift never overwrites protection somebody paid for, and two hours would often be shorter — when they attacked someone in the last 30 minutes (15 with Premium), when they have attacks still running, when you are not friends, or when either of you has blocked the other. Every one of those is the same guard that applies to raising your own shield, applied to them.

Discover

TiCkbook — the wall of faces, browsable, with a request button on every one. The same screen as before, now a tab here.

Two things other players see next to your name, chosen from fixed lists.

On your profile, open Set your mood & status. Pick an animated sticker for your mood and one line for your status, then press Save — choices are not applied until you do. Tap a selected one again to clear it.

Both are closed lists, which is the whole safety design: there is nothing to type, so there is nothing to moderate, and every phrase can be translated later in a way player-written text never could.

Some status lines are locked until you earn them. A locked one is shown greyed with its requirement — "Reach level 5", "Finish an event in the top 1" — rather than hidden, because a reward nobody can see motivates nobody.

Once set, your mood and status appear beside your name on your profile, on your home card, on your public profile as other players see it, and on your tile in Discover.

One row under the section bar carrying whatever is worth knowing right now.

It shows one card at a time and changes every few seconds: live events with how long is left, the Premium offer if you do not already have it, cards newly listed on TiCktrade, and any announcement the team has posted. The counter in the corner tells you how many there are.

Swipe it to move between cards yourself — doing so pauses the automatic advance, so it will not slide away while you are reading. The × hides the row for the rest of your session; it comes back next time you open the app.

A paid subscription inside the game. Not the same thing as Telegram Premium, which grants nothing here.

The headline perk is that your two-hour action window doubles: forty raids and mine operations instead of twenty. Because Invader raids cost a third of an action, that is up to 120 Invader raids in a window rather than 60. Your cards also keep producing for 18 hours after you go offline, instead of 12.

Plans run weekly, monthly and six-monthly, and the perks are checked live — when a subscription expires the window returns to twenty at once rather than at the next restart.

Inside Telegram, a plan is paid with Stars, like any other in-app purchase. On the web version (ticktom.com, signed in without Telegram) a “Pay by card” button opens a secure Stripe checkout instead — Telegram does not allow a card form inside the Mini App itself. A card purchase is refundable for 48 hours after payment, forfeited the moment you use it (a Swap, a Withdraw, or a Premium bonus wheel spin); the exact window is printed on the paywall before you pay, and again on the confirmation page after.

If something is wrong — a payment that did not arrive, a reward that did not land, a card that behaves oddly — open a ticket. It stays attached to your account, so nobody has to prove who they are twice.

Tickets live in the app: open one, describe what happened, and the reply arrives in the same place. Include what you did and what you expected instead; a ticket that says only "it does not work" costs a round trip before anyone can start looking.

Ask first — and reach a person when automated help cannot solve it

You can ask a question before opening a ticket. In the app it is the first card on the Support screen; on the website it is Support at the foot of the page, and it asks you to sign in first, because support runs on your account. The answers are automated and come from TiCkTOM's published help, with a link to the source when there is one. Every reply is labelled TiCkTOM AI: it cannot see your account, and it never presents itself as a person.

When automated support cannot solve something, it offers Talk to Human Support right there: under a question it decides a person should handle, under any question about your own account, and under a reply you say did not help. Press it and the conversation is handed to a human agent: your question and the automated reply are written into your open ticket, or a new one, and you are taken straight there. You do not type anything twice. In Telegram, /human reaches a person at any time and is always free. In the ticket the automated reply is marked as automated, so you always know which answers came from a person.

AI answers and screenshots — and a person is always free

Answers can now come from an AI model — on the website, on the app's Support screen and in Telegram — and every one is labelled TiCkTOM AI. The model reads only TiCkTOM's published help and the current official numbers. It still cannot see your account, and it is still not a person. Questions about your account, security problems and anything it is unsure about go to a human.

You get free AI answers every day, and the chat shows how many are left. Questions that TiCkTOM's own published answers already cover — exact rules and limits — stay free and do not use them up. Ask again too quickly and the chat tells you how long to wait. When today's free answers are gone, in Telegram 1 Telegram Star buys three more AI answers: the one you just asked and your next two. The price is shown before you pay, and if that first answer does not arrive, the Star is refunded. On the website and in the app, extra AI answers are not on sale yet.

A screenshot often explains a problem faster than words, so you can attach one to a question — JPEG, PNG or WEBP. In Telegram, send the photo in a private chat with the bot; in a group, send it with /tom, with a mention of the bot, or as a reply to the bot. Screenshots are used to answer your question and are not kept. If one shows a recovery phrase, private key, password or login code, automated support will not repeat it and will tell you to treat that secret as exposed — assume someone else has seen it. In a private Telegram chat it also tries to delete the photo.

In Telegram, /human is always free and always available, whether or not you have AI answers left. In the app and on the website, Talk to Human Support is offered when automated help cannot solve your question, after you say a reply did not help, and on questions about your account.

What TiCkTOM AI remembers — and how to delete it

So you do not have to explain the same problem twice, TiCkTOM AI keeps a short support memory: the issue that is still open, what was already tried and whether it helped, and how your last question was resolved. Anything that looks like a recovery phrase, private key, password or login code is not stored in it. To see it, open the Support Center — the app's Support screen — and tap Your support memory.

Delete my support memory removes it once you confirm; your tickets are kept. If you do nothing, it is deleted automatically 90 days after your last support activity, or up to 365 days where an extended tier applies.

Some tokens are not priced from a market feed. Their price comes from a pool, and the pool is funded by the project behind the token — not by TiCkTOM.

Where the price comes from

Most assets here are priced from a real exchange. A new or partner token often has no honest feed to read, so instead it gets a pool: two piles of tokens sitting side by side. Buying one side makes it scarcer and its price rises; selling does the opposite. Nobody sets that number — trading discovers it.

Who funds a pool

The token's own project does. This matters to you as a player: a trade is settled out of what the project put in, so if a pool runs dry, trades simply stop. They never quietly draw on TiCkTOM.

Providing liquidity yourself

On the website, Exchange → Market → Provide liquidity lets you add to a pool. You put in both sides at the pool's current ratio and receive a share of it. Every trade pays a fee. Your part of it is held apart from the pool and claimed separately — it is not added to your share.

Two things to understand before you do:

• Only the matching amounts are taken. A pool accepts both sides in its own ratio. If you type more of one than fits, the extra stays in your balance — it is never swallowed.
• You do not get back the same two amounts. As people trade, the pool sells whichever side is rising and buys whichever is falling. You get your fraction of whatever it holds when you leave; the fees you earned are claimed separately and stay yours. If one token moves a long way, that can be worth less than simply having held both.

Getting out

Withdraw any percentage at any time. There is no lock-up and no minimum you have to leave behind — the last provider out can take everything they own.

Asking for a market

If you run a token project and there is no pool for your token yet, you can request one from the same screen. We review every request by hand — a pool decides the price of an asset players hold and withdraw, so it is not automatic. If it is approved, you fund the pool and you keep the fees it earns. TiCkTOM puts nothing in.

The amounts you propose set the opening price, so check them twice: seeding 1,000,000 of your token against 100 USDT says your token is worth a hundredth of a cent, and the pool will believe you.

Pools do not talk to each other

Each pool is its own market. One side of every pool is a stablecoin such as USDT. If token A has a pool against USDT and token B has one too, that does not create an A/B trade — there is no routing between pools and no automatic rebalancing. A token can sit in more than one pool and be worth slightly different amounts in each; some tokens are deliberately limited to a single pool for exactly that reason.

Anyone who has been here a day can list a token, in seconds, with nobody reviewing it first. That is deliberate — and it is why the rules on the other side of it are strict.

What you need

• A verified email and a verified phone number.
• An account at least 24 hours old.
• A name, 2–40 characters.
• A symbol, 2–5 letters or digits, not already taken by another token.

What it costs, currently

10 USDT to list it — taken the moment it lists, and not refunded whatever happens afterwards. Then an opening purchase of at least 10 USDT, currently: your own money, spent as the very first buy on your token's own price curve.

An optional information page — a description, a website link, a Telegram link — is a further 40 USDT, paid once, at creation.

A logo is optional, and free. Add it while you create the token: upload any photo or image, any shape, up to 10 MB, and TiCkTOM centers it, crops it to a square and resizes it to 256×256 — nothing to pre-crop or shrink yourself. You get exactly one upload per token, at creation; there is no changing it afterwards.

What you get

A fixed supply of 1,000,000,000 tokens. Not adjustable, not mintable later, the same for every token made this way. Your token is paired against USDT and nothing else. Your opening purchase buys real tokens at the curve's price, exactly like any later trader's buy — the tokens it buys land straight in your own wallet, and that is the only balance you start with; nothing is minted to you for free.

You can always sell back down to the launch price. The same curve that priced your opening purchase still prices every sale afterwards, all the way back down to where the token began — it never runs out the way a quiet token's buy side can.

Buy, sell, and where you can do it

Trading stays inside TiCkTOM's own exchange, against USDT — a token created this way never touches an outside chain. Creating a token and trading one both work the same way in the Telegram Mini App and on the web; neither door treats it differently.

An existing token, already on a chain

Listing a token that already exists on TON, Solana or an EVM chain is a different request: it costs 60 USDT and always goes to a person for review. Nothing lists automatically when real contracts and real holders are involved. The optional information page costs the same 40 USDT either way.

What happens if a token misbehaves

Nobody checks a new token before it lists, so the check happens afterwards, and anyone can report one. Reporting does not pause trading — if it did, a few coordinated reports would be a cheap way to freeze a rival. A person looks, and then one of five things is true:

The things that cost regular players the most, in the order we see them.

Checking in once a day

Production stops twelve hours after you go offline, so a single daily visit leaves roughly half a day of production unearned. Checking in roughly every 12 hours is what avoids that loss — two visits an hour apart do not help, because it is the gap that matters, not the count.

Sleeping without a shield

The cheapest coin shield costs a fraction of what an overnight raid takes. Buy it before you close the app, not after you see the notification.

Attacking, then walking away

Your shield breaks when you attack, and you cannot raise a new one for thirty minutes. If you are going to raid, raid at the start of a session, not at the end of one.

Chasing the biggest target

Distance cuts your take down to as little as a tenth. The rich player across the planet is usually worth less than the ordinary one next door.

Buying new cards instead of upgrading

The first levels of any card are its worst value. Deepening a card you already own almost always beats widening your collection.

Leaving leaderboard rewards unclaimed

They are not automatic and they expire. Placing and not collecting is the single most common way players lose something they already won.

Inviting quantity over quality

A friend who plays to level 13 pays you tens of thousands of times what a friend who signs up and leaves does — and only friends who reach level 3 count towards Revenue Share.

Every TiCkTOM policy in one place, at Legal & Policies on the website (/legal). Each document says in one line what it covers and when it was last updated.

• Terms of Use — who may play, what an account is, virtual items, purchases, and what happens if the rules are broken.
• Privacy Policy — what is collected while you play, why, who receives it, how long it is kept and the choices you have, including what TiCkTOM AI and support memory keep.
• Identity Verification — the optional identity check: what it is for, who performs it, what TiCkTOM receives and what it never receives.
• Withdrawal Rules — what has to be true before money leaves, the limits that apply, and what happens when a request is held for review.
• User-Created Token Policy — who may create a token inside TiCkTOM, what it costs, how its price is set and when it can be removed.

This manual explains how the game works; the policies are the rules. Where the two disagree, the policy applies.

The Field Manual opens inside the game, so you do not have to leave the app to read it (/manual).

It is this same document, with the same contents, search and language switcher. A support answer's Read more link and the help chat's What can I do here? card open it at the section they came from.

Links inside it stay in the app: a link to another section changes the page, a link to a game screen takes you there, and only a real outside link opens outside. Ask AI opens TiCkTOM AI on top of the manual, so you can ask about what you are reading.

The Player guide (/guide, opened from Home) lists every chapter of this manual in your language, and a chapter opens the manual right there. The Player guide button at the top of the manual takes you back to it.
