The mechanics
Tickers are what matter.
What is a tick?
A tick represents a letter A–Z. The model is one tick of each letter per wallet. A token’s ticker decides which letters participate in its collected fee pool. Tokens launch directly on Raydium LaunchLab.
Prices and resales
A letter’s first tick costs 0.1 SOL. Each subsequent mint costs 1.25 times the previous price, rounded up to whole lamports. Resales may not be priced above that letter’s next mint price. Purchase and resale execution are not activated yet, so the site accepts no tick payments.
Fees before and after graduation
The allocation policy assigns 60% of eligible collected fees to tick holders, 30% to the A–Z Race, and 10% to the creator before graduation. After graduation, those shares become 50%, 30%, and 20%. These percentages divide fees actually collected by TICKED; they are not percentages of trade volume or a claim on Raydium’s protocol fee. LaunchLab and CPMM charge their own on-chain fees, which must be read and verified separately.
Repeated letters count
A ticker may contain 1–10 letters A–Z. In KEK, K receives two thirds of the tick-holder allocation and E receives one third. Each letter’s portion is then divided equally among its eligible holders. A portion with no eligible holders goes to the launchpad, along with indivisible rounding dust.
Who is eligible?
A wallet must have held the letter for at least 60 seconds before the token launches. Later purchases do not inherit earlier token earnings. Selling or transferring immediately ends future earnings; buying the same letter again does not restore eligibility for earlier tokens. Rewards earned before the sale remain claimable by the seller, even when collected later. The token creator is excluded from their own token’s tick rewards. Ownership continuity must be verified; sold or transferred ticks do not continue earning for their former owner. Reward unlocks follow the 60-second holding rule.
The A–Z Race
The A–Z Race is designed to receive 30% of collected fees. Qualifying graduations award a letter from a ticker with at least three distinct letters. Letters undergo a 72-hour qualification period, including a $30,000 market-value threshold and creator-trading checks. The first verified A–Z collection wins, subject to a further 24-hour check. TICKED’s race is not active and accepts no prize contributions. The race will open when its reward system is ready.
What you can launch today
You can create a real, standard SOL-paired token on Raydium’s public LaunchLab platform. Set its name, ticker, image, description, and social links. Publishing the metadata uses a wallet message, while the actual launch requires a separate wallet transaction after simulation and cost review. Standard launches currently do not pay tick holders or enter the race. No first buy is included.
Availability
Standard token launches are available. Tick purchases, resales, rewards, and the A–Z Race are not open yet. The ticker calculator shows how the fee split will work; it is not a balance or a reward claim.
