# Creator Overview

What identity protection means for a token creator — and how the reserve → launch → protect journey keeps copycats off your name and ticker.

AntiVamp protects the thing copycats steal first: your token's **identity** — the combined, normalized **`Name + Ticker`** pair. When you protect an identity, integrated launchpads across every supported chain can detect and refuse unauthorized look-alike ("vamp") launches of that exact pair.

`🟪 Solana` `🔵 Base` `🟡 BNB Chain` `🟢 Robinhood Chain` `⚪ Ethereum` `🟣 HyperEVM`

{% hint style="info" %}
🧬 AntiVamp protects **identity**, not price, contract security, legitimacy, or investment performance. A protected name + ticker is not an endorsement of the token behind it. See the [Risk Disclosure](/legal-and-security/risk-disclosure.md).

## What protection actually gives you

<table><thead><tr><th width="240">Capability</th><th>What it means for you</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>🧬 <strong>One canonical identity</strong></td><td>Homoglyphs, casing, symbols (<code>$ROBIN</code>), leet spellings, and hidden characters all fold to the same key — a copycat can't smuggle a look-alike past the check.</td></tr><tr><td>🔒 <strong>Reservations</strong></td><td>Hold a <code>Name + Ticker</code> for a fixed window so nobody can front-run your launch while you prepare.</td></tr><tr><td>✅ <strong>Pre-launch validation</strong></td><td>Integrated launchpads receive a signed decision for every launch attempt on your identity — only you (or an authorized wallet) can launch the pair you hold.</td></tr><tr><td>🎓 <strong>Post-launch protection</strong></td><td>Time-limited copycat locks that fire when your launch reaches a market-cap goal.</td></tr><tr><td>🧪 <strong>Launch on pump.fun</strong></td><td>Create your Solana token straight from the Creator hub — free to launch, identity-gated, you keep 70% of eligible pump.fun creator fees, and the ticker locks automatically at graduation.</td></tr><tr><td>🏷️ <strong>Verifiable badge</strong></td><td>A "Protected by AntiVamp" badge that reflects the live, on-chain identity status.</td></tr></tbody></table>

{% hint style="warning" %}
🔑 **Reserving is optional, but launching alone is not protection.** A bare launch (minting the token) locks nothing on its own — the pair stays available until it reaches a market-cap goal. A reservation is the only way to hold your identity *before* you launch.
{% endhint %}

## Where identity protection begins and ends

* **A reservation** protects an unlaunched `Name + Ticker` for its window — and only exists once the reservation is **confirmed on-chain**.
* **A launch** does not lock anything by itself.
* **A copycat lock** is applied automatically when a launch hits a market-cap goal, and is always **time-limited** — there are no permanent locks (the sole exception is a manual guardian block on an abusive identity).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.antivamp.io/for-creators/overview.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
