Ticker locks

A “vamp” (vampire) attack is when bad actors spam the same ticker over and over — relaunching a popular symbol repeatedly to confuse traders, split liquidity, and drain attention away from the original launch.

To stop this, Dreams locks every ticker for 12 hoursthe moment it's deployed. While a ticker is locked, no one (including the original creator) can launch another coin with that same symbol.

• One ticker, one launch per 12 hours.
• Obfuscation doesn't bypass it. The lock ignores spaces, casing, and symbols, so $COOK, cook, and C O O K are treated as the same ticker.
• Clear feedback.If you try to launch a locked ticker, you'll see exactly how long until it's available again.
