# #5 Product Update 25-10-18

#### ⚙️ Token Name Protection

**Overview**\
Token Name Protection prevents duplicate or similar token names in Fair Mode, keeping launches clean, fair, and original.

\
**🔧 How It Works**

* When a token reaches 100+ holders during its bonding curve phase, its name and ticker are automatically locked for 72 hours.
* During this 72-hour period, no new Fair Mode tokens can be created with the same or similar name/ticker.
* The system checks both Fair Mode and Free Mode to prevent duplication across modes.
* Free Mode tokens are not restricted by this rule and can use any name.

**💬 Notes**

* If two tokens are created almost at the same time, both may succeed — this prevents bots from mass-locking names.
* Once protection is triggered, it continues even after the token officially launches.
* The 72-hour window and 100-holder threshold may be adjusted based on ecosystem feedback.

**💚 Purpose**\
**T**o ensure fairness, originality, and transparency — giving every meme project its own unique identity in the Four.Meme ecosystem.
