Mint a hashtag
Permanent ownership, one holder per exact text
Letters, digits and underscore. Up to 64 characters.
Their share is paid from the community fund. Nothing is deducted from what you earn.
Of the price paid, -- goes to the community fund, -- to the team and -- to running the measurement service. Each share is sent to its own address in the same transaction.
The TAGS amount is sent to an unreachable address and leaves supply permanently. It is not held by the protocol.
What you receive
An ERC-721 token whose id derives from the exact text you minted. It is transferable and permanent. The protocol cannot reassign it to anyone else.
Capitalisation does not split a hashtag
The token id is derived from the text folded to lower case, so Bitcoin and bitcoin are the same registration and only one of them can be minted. The text is stored with the capitalisation you type, and that is what the card draws, so whoever mints first fixes the spelling everyone sees.
What happens to your payment
The native currency is split in the same transaction: the community fund, the team and the measurement service each receive their share at their own address. The fund is held in a contract with no administrative withdrawal function of any kind.
The protocol token is sent to an unreachable address. It leaves supply permanently and the protocol has no way to mint more.
It enters the ranking on mint
Registration stakes the hashtag in the same transaction, so it is in the daily ranking from the block it is minted in. There is no second step to remember. Leaving the ranking is a separate action, available whenever you want it.
