FAQ
Quick answers. The other docs pages have the details.
Can someone still copy my ticker?
Yes, outside One Ticker. Anyone can still launch $CAT on pump.fun or another launchpad, and we can't stop that. Here, there's only one official $CAT, and traders who check One Ticker can see which one it is.
What do I get when I buy a ticker?
You pay 0.05 SOL once and get an NFT (Metaplex Core) in your wallet. It never expires. As long as you hold it, you're the only one who can launch that ticker on One Ticker. You can launch it at no extra cost, list it for sale, send it to another wallet or just keep it.
How do I sell my ticker?
Go to My tickers, click List for sale and set a price. The ticker stays in your wallet until someone buys it. When it sells, you get 95% right away, One Ticker gets 5%, and the ticker moves to the buyer, all in one transaction. You can edit or cancel the listing anytime. One Ticker never takes custody of your SOL.
I launched but the 90/10 split wasn't set in time. Do I lose my ticker?
Yes. You have 1 hour after launch to finish the 90/10 split. After that, your coin stays on pump.fun but it's no longer the official one, the ticker is free again and the NFT used for the launch doesn't come back. If you finish the split before someone else takes the ticker, your coin becomes official again.
What if my ticker is sold or sent outside One Ticker?
Whoever holds the NFT owns the ticker. If it moves (a sale on another marketplace or a transfer), the new holder becomes the owner here and your listing is canceled automatically.
Do I have to buy a ticker before launching?
No. If the ticker is free, you can launch it right away for 0.01 SOL. Buying it first is optional. It locks the ticker for you until you launch it, sell it or send it to someone.
What happens to my ticker if my coin dies?
Nothing. It stays with your coin. Once a coin launches on One Ticker, its ticker is never released or sold, even if trading stops. That way nobody can launch a second official $CAT, and traders always know which one came first.
How much does it cost?
Buying a free ticker costs 0.05 SOL, once. Launching a ticker you own is free on our side. Launching a free ticker directly costs 0.01 SOL. Buying from another holder costs their listing price (5% goes to One Ticker, the rest to the seller). Each fee is part of the same transaction as the action, so if it fails, you pay nothing. Network fees and your optional dev buy are extra. You'll see every amount before you sign.
Does One Ticker take a cut of my creator rewards?
Yes, 10%, and it's required for your coin to be the official one. pump.fun pays creator rewards on every trade. For coins launched on One Ticker, 90% go to you and 10% to the One Ticker treasury. The split is set with pump.fun's own rewards sharing right after launch, you see it before you sign, and it can only be set once. Neither you nor One Ticker can change it later. If it isn't set in time, or is set differently, your coin stays on pump.fun but isn't official here, and the ticker is free again.
What happened to 48-hour reservations?
Since Sept. 30, 2026, you buy tickers instead of reserving them. Reservations made before that date stay valid until they expire.
Are $CAT and $C4T the same ticker?
No. Only the exact ticker counts, so $CAT, $C4T and $CATT are all different. A similar ticker can be a different project.
Do you hold my keys or my coins?
No. You sign every transaction in your own wallet. Your coin is created on pump.fun from your wallet, your ticker NFT stays in your wallet, and marketplace payments go straight from buyer to seller. We'll never ask for your seed phrase or private key.
Which tickers can't I buy?
Only $TICKER and $ONETICKER. They're kept for One Ticker itself. Every other ticker is first come, first served. Don't use a ticker to pretend to be a brand, a person or another project: see the Terms.
Does One Ticker have a token?
Not yet. There's no One Ticker token and no presale or airdrop. If someone DMs you about one, it's a scam.
Is One Ticker live on mainnet?
Yes. This site runs on Solana mainnet and uses real SOL.
Can I launch my coin from One Ticker today?
Not here yet. Launching is built but only works on Solana mainnet. On this site you can go through every step up to the review screen, and buy, sell or search tickers.
What happens if the 90/10 split isn't set after my launch?
Your coin shows "Launched, 90/10 split pending" and you get a "Finish setup" button. If the 90/10 split isn't set within 60 minutes, your coin stays on pump.fun but loses its official status on One Ticker, and the ticker is free again. You can still finish it later: if nobody has taken the ticker in the meantime, your coin becomes official again. If you launched a ticker you owned, the NFT used for the launch is gone and doesn't come back.
What if someone launches the same ticker at the same time?
The first launch confirmed on-chain wins. Our server checks every launch on-chain. If another wallet's launch of the same ticker was confirmed first, your coin still exists on pump.fun, but One Ticker ignores it and tells you.
Is there a limit on how many tickers I can own?
No. Each ticker costs 0.05 SOL, which makes squatting expensive, and any owner can be bought out on the marketplace.
Does "official" mean the coin is safe?
No. It only means it was launched on One Ticker. It's not an endorsement, an audit or a guarantee.
Is One Ticker affiliated with pump.fun?
No. Coins launch on pump.fun, but One Ticker is an independent project.
