OTC Labs enforces unique tickers to prevent copycat coin launches

OTC Labs has rolled out unique ticker enforcement, meaning a ticker belongs to the coin that launched with it and no copycats can follow. The rule applies beyond the interface: the launch API rejects any request using an already-registered ticker. The change is the first in a "Series A" initiative targeting launch culture, which the author says vamping harms by splitting liquidity and misleading retail buyers. Unicode characters in tickers will also be blocked soon, reward distribution will no longer require account activation starting tomorrow, and the launch page UI was redesigned.
