How TICKR works

What TICKR does

TICKR deploys ERC-20 tokens on Robinhood Chain and gives each one a market from the first block. There is no allowlist and no review queue. Anyone can deploy, and the same rules apply to every launch.

A token moves through two phases. On the curve, buys and sells happen against a formula rather than a counterparty, so a market exists before anyone else shows up. On graduation, the accumulated liquidity moves into a Uniswap pool and the token trades like any other asset on the chain.

The part TICKR adds on top is disclosure. Creator share, vesting schedule, lock expiry and token age sit on the trading card next to the price, because that is the moment someone decides.

Launch parameters

Six fields, set once at deploy. Four of them are immutable afterwards.

The 15% cap is hard. A contract asking for more will not deploy. Vesting can be set longer than six months but not shorter, and it cannot be switched off — a launch with no creator allocation simply skips it.

The bonding curve

Price is set by a constant-product formula against virtual reserves. No order book, no market maker, no one on the other side of your trade.

// constant product, virtual reserves
x * y = k

x = usdgReserve   // starts at 6,000 virtual USDG
y = tokenReserve  // starts at 1,073,000,000 virtual tokens
k = 6.438e12      // fixed for the life of the curve

// buying t tokens costs:
cost = (k / (y - t)) - x

The reserves are virtual, which means the curve starts at a sensible price instead of at zero. The first buyer pays roughly $0.0000056 per token rather than an amount that rounds to nothing, and the early-buyer advantage stays finite.

Selling back into the curve works at any point before graduation, at the same formula. Liquidity cannot be removed by anyone, including the creator and including TICKR — the curve contract holds it and only the graduation function can move it.

Fees

The creator share of the trading fee is deliberate. It gives a deployer a reason to keep building rather than to dump an allocation, and it accrues from volume instead of from supply.

Once a token graduates, TICKR takes nothing further. Trading happens on Uniswap at the pool's own fee tier and the protocol is out of the loop.

Graduation

When the curve reaches 24,000 USDG, graduation triggers automatically on the next transaction. It is not a vote, an approval, or a manual step.

• The curve stops accepting trades.
• Accumulated USDG and the 200,000,000 reserved tokens are paired into a Uniswap v3 position.
• The LP position is locked, and the receipt is written to the token record.
• The curve contract renounces its own mint authority. Supply is fixed from that block.

Typical elapsed time is under a minute. A token that never reaches the threshold stays on the curve indefinitely and remains tradable there — there is no expiry and nothing gets swept.

Liquidity lock enforced

The LP position from graduation is locked through Team Finance for 12 months, with no early-withdrawal path for the creator or for TICKR. The lock contract address and the unlock timestamp appear on the token page and on the trading card.

At expiry the position does not auto-unlock into anyone's wallet. It becomes withdrawable by the creator, and the token card changes state 30 days before that date so it is visible in advance rather than as a surprise.

Halts and vesting

Volatility halt

If a token moves more than 40% in any 60-second window, the card is flagged halted and the buy button requires a second confirmation. Trading is not blocked — the contract keeps working and anyone interacting directly with it is unaffected. The halt is an interface guardrail against reflex clicking, and it is honest about being exactly that.

Creator vesting

Creator allocations unlock linearly over the chosen period after a 30-day cliff. Unvested tokens are held by the vesting contract and cannot be transferred, staked, or borrowed against. The card shows both the vested and unvested portion, updated per block.

What can go wrong

This section exists because a document that only lists guarantees is marketing.

• The token goes to zero. This is the normal outcome for most launches on any platform of this kind. Locked liquidity does not put a floor under price.
• Concentrated holders. The 15% cap applies to the creator's contract allocation. Nothing stops the same person buying more on the curve from another address. Check holder distribution, not just the creator badge.
• Contract risk. The factory and curve contracts are verified but the beta has not completed a third-party audit. Treat the code as unaudited until an audit report is linked from this page.
• Chain risk. Robinhood Chain is a rollup. Sequencer downtime or a bridge issue affects everything deployed on it, TICKR included.
• Impersonation. Anyone can deploy a token called anything. A ticker is not an identity. Verify the contract address from the project's own channels.

Chain and contracts

Contract addresses for the factory, curve, and vesting modules are published on deploy and verified on Blockscout automatically. They are listed on the token page rather than here, so this document does not go stale between releases.

Legal position

TICKR is software. It deploys standard ERC-20 contracts on a public network at the instruction of whoever is holding the wallet.

Tokens created through TICKR are not securities. They represent no equity, no debt, no profit share, and no claim on any entity's assets or revenue. TICKR does not issue them, does not custody them, does not match orders, and does not offer investment advice.

TICKR is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Robinhood Markets, Inc. or Arbitrum. Robinhood Chain is a public network and building on it implies no relationship with its operator.
