User-Created Token Policy

1. Two kinds of token on TiCkTOM

TiCkTOM lists two different kinds of token. They are not the same thing, and they do not carry the same protections.

In-app tokens are created inside TiCkTOM. They have a fixed supply of 1,000,000,000 units and do not exist on any blockchain. You cannot deposit an in-app token from outside TiCkTOM, and you cannot withdraw one to an external wallet. There is no external contract, no block explorer, and no other market for it anywhere. The only way to exit an in-app token is to sell it into its own liquidity pool for USDT, then withdraw that USDT.

On-chain tokens are contracts deployed on a public blockchain. They can be deposited and withdrawn like any other on-chain asset. Listing an on-chain token always requires manual approval by TiCkTOM. There is no self-serve path for on-chain tokens.

Everything below is about in-app tokens, unless stated otherwise.

2. Who can create an in-app token

To create an in-app token, your account must be verified — email and phone confirmed — and at least 24 hours old.

If you meet those two conditions, you can create a token yourself. Nobody at TiCkTOM reviews it before it goes live. That is a deliberate trade: fast listing in exchange for you carrying more responsibility, and TiCkTOM keeping the right to act afterward — see section 6.

3. What creating a token costs you, and commits you to

• Your token launches at a fixed starting market cap, shown to you before you confirm. TiCkTOM does not put any money into it — the market cap starts there because of how the token's price curve is built, not because TiCkTOM or anyone else deposited funds.
• Your opening purchase is spent, not deposited. It is the first buy on your token's own price curve, exactly like any later trader's buy — at the price the curve gives it, with the same fee any trade pays. It is not a liquidity position, nothing about it is locked or burned, and there is no way to get that specific payment back: buying is a one-way action, the same as it is for every other trader on this token afterward.
• You pay a listing fee, shown to you before you confirm.
• You can pay for an info page — a description, website link, and social links shown on the token's market page. This is optional.

Creating a token is a real cost with no refund path. That does not change if the token gets no buyers, or is later hidden, suspended, or removed under section 6.

4. How the price of an in-app token is set

The price comes from a trading pool, not from TiCkTOM and not from any outside feed. The pool holds two balances — the token and USDT — and the price is the ratio between them. Buying the token moves the price up. Selling it moves the price down. Nobody sets the number directly, including the token's own creator.

Limits that apply to every trade:

• A single trade cannot move the price by more than 20%. Larger orders are refused, not partially filled at a worse price.
• The smallest trade allowed is 0.1 USDT.
• Every pool is isolated. There is no routing between pools and no automatic rebalancing — a token's price in one pool has no relationship to its price anywhere else.

5. Fees

Every trade carries a 1.5% fee. Half goes to the people who supplied liquidity to that pool. Half goes to TiCkTOM. TiCkTOM's half is always taken in USDT, never in the token being traded.

6. What TiCkTOM can do to a token after it is live

Because in-app tokens go live with no review beforehand, TiCkTOM reserves the right to act on one afterward. Four actions, in increasing order of severity:

• Action — What it does
• Warn — A visible notice is added to the token's page. Trading continues normally.
• Hide — The token is removed from browse and search. It is not deleted — anyone already holding it can still buy, sell, and reach it directly.
• Suspend — Trading is paused. Holders cannot buy or sell while a token is suspended.
• Remove — The token is taken off TiCkTOM permanently. See section 9 for what happens to holders.

Concrete grounds for hide, suspend, or remove — this list is not exhaustive, but everything on it will get one of these three:

• Impersonation — a name, symbol, logo, or description that presents the token as a real, existing project, company, or person it is not affiliated with.
• Misleading claims — false or unverifiable statements about backing, partnership, endorsement, guaranteed returns, or a promise to buy the token back.
• Illegal content — anything in the token's name, symbol, description, or linked pages that is illegal where TiCkTOM operates.
• Hate or harassment — a name or description that targets a person or group.
• Deliberate market manipulation — coordinated trading designed to fake volume, price movement, or demand.

7. Reporting a token

Any player can report a token from its market page. Every report is reviewed by TiCkTOM. Reporting a token does not pause trading by itself — only a hide, suspend, or remove decision does that, and only TiCkTOM makes that decision.

8. Taking a token off TiCkTOM

The two kinds of token differ most at the moment you want your money out, and this is the difference to understand before you buy either one.

• An in-app token cannot leave TiCkTOM. It exists only here. There is no blockchain address for it and no wallet that can hold it. The way to cash out is to sell it for USDT and withdraw that.
• An on-chain token can be withdrawn to a wallet you have connected and proven ownership of — never to an address simply typed in.

Some withdrawals may be sent automatically and some are checked first; which applies depends on the route and on our anti-abuse rules at the time. Either way nothing further is required from you, and a withdrawal can be cancelled from your history until it is sent. Limits apply per transaction and per day, and no single account may withdraw more than 1% of a token's total supply in a day — a backstop against one holder draining a market, which an ordinary withdrawal never reaches.

A minimum withdrawal amount applies, and it differs between pool-market tokens and everything else. The amount that applies to you, and the fee, are shown on the withdraw screen before you confirm.

9. If a token is removed, holders can still sell

Removing a token from TiCkTOM's listings never traps anyone's money. A removed token's liquidity pool stays open for selling: anyone still holding the token can sell it into its pool for USDT and withdraw that USDT, even after the token has been removed everywhere else.

What removal ends is TiCkTOM presenting, promoting, or trading the token as an active listing — not a holder's ability to exit their position.

10. TiCkTOM does not endorse, vet, or value any user-created token

Read this section even if you read nothing else.

TiCkTOM does not review a token before it is created. TiCkTOM does not check whether a token's project is real, whether its team is who it says it is, or whether anything in its description is true. TiCkTOM does not set, guarantee, or influence a token's price. The price you see is entirely the result of other people buying and selling — nothing more.

A token existing on TiCkTOM, being tradable, or having an info page is not an endorsement, a recommendation, a guarantee of value, or a statement that it is legitimate. Anyone who is verified and holds an account 24 hours old can create one. That includes people creating a token with no intention of it ever being worth anything.

Trading a user-created token can result in the total loss of the money you put into it. That is true of every in-app token, at every price, at all times. TiCkTOM Universe · This policy applies to tokens created by players. It sits alongside the Field Manual, which explains how the game and its markets work. Where this page and any other page disagree about the rules for user-created tokens, this page is the one that applies.
