How it works
AntiVamp is a shared registry that launchpads check before accepting a launch. Reserve once, and the identity is protected everywhere AntiVamp is integrated.
The lifecycle
A creator reserves a normalized name + ticker pair for a fixed duration — 24 hours, 3 days, 7 days, or 30 days. The fee is flat, paid in the chain's native asset or a supported stable, and non-refundable. Only one wallet is bound as the authorized launcher.
The authorized wallet launches the reserved pair through any participating launchpad. If another wallet attempts to launch the same normalized identity, the launchpad's pre-flight check blocks it before the transaction is accepted.
Reaching a bonding curve or a verified market-cap milestone (~$1M) extends protection automatically. Reserved launches earn longer locks than unreserved ones — the incentive to reserve compounds as a token gains traction.
Every integrated launchpad queries the AntiVamp registry before accepting a launch. The longest valid protection window always wins, regardless of which chain or platform holds it.
Normalization rules
Copycats rely on cosmetic differences — casing, spacing, near-identical tickers. Normalization removes that loophole before a check ever runs.
Names and tickers are upper-cased and whitespace-collapsed before comparison, so “Green Robin” and “GREEN ROBIN” resolve to the same identity.
Names must be 1–64 characters; tickers must be 2–10 characters. Out-of-range pairs are rejected before a reservation is created.
Protection is keyed on the name + ticker pair together, not either field alone, matching how traders actually search for and mistake tokens.
The same normalized key is checked across every integrated chain, so a reservation on one network is visible to launchpads on another.
Protection logic
New locks never shorten an existing longer lock. Bond locks fire on-chain. Market-cap milestones require authorized verification so fake FDV spikes cannot extend protection.
| Trigger | Duration |
|---|---|
| Reserved launch that bonds | 60 days |
| Unreserved launch that bonds | 48 hours |
| Reserved @ ~$1M market cap | 90 days |
| Unreserved @ ~$1M market cap | 7 days |

For launchpads
Partner launchpads normalize the pair, call AntiVamp, and allow or block.
