# Reservation Tiers

Reservations hold your `Name + Ticker` for a fixed window at a flat, non-refundable price so nobody can launch it before you do.

{% hint style="info" %}
Tiers are priced in **USD** and paid on-chain in the native asset of the chain you reserve on (or an accepted stablecoin). The reservation is recorded on that chain's `TickerReservationRegistry`.
{% endhint %}

## Overview

Reserving is optional and pre-launch — it deploys nothing. It buys you an exclusive window in which **only your authorized wallet** can launch the exact `Name + Ticker` you reserved. Longer windows cost more.

| Tier            | Price      | Best for             |
| --------------- | ---------- | -------------------- |
| ⏱️ **24 hours** | **$100**   | Fast launch prep     |
| 🗓️ **3 days**  | **$250**   | Short campaigns      |
| 🛡️ **7 days**  | **$500**   | Coordinated launches |
| 🔒 **30 days**  | **$1,500** | Extended prep        |

{% hint style="danger" %}
**Fees are flat and non-refundable.** A reservation is not a launch credit and is not refunded if you don't launch, if you let the window lapse, or if you change your mind. Pick the window you'll actually use.
{% endhint %}

## How it works

1. You choose a chain, enter your `Name + Ticker`, and pick a tier.
2. The USD tier is converted to the exact on-chain amount at reservation time using a **fail-closed** price oracle — if the oracle answer is stale, the reservation reverts rather than mispricing. Stablecoins settle **1:1** against the USD tier (no oracle needed).
3. You pay on-chain; the reservation is written to that chain's `TickerReservationRegistry` and your window starts.

## How to use it

* Reserve in-app from the [Reserve a Name + Ticker](/identity-protection/reserving-a-name-and-ticker.md) page.
* [Check the identity first](/identity-protection/identity-checker.md) so you know it's available before you pay.
* When you're ready, launch the reserved pair from your authorized wallet — see [Launch a Token](/creators/launching-a-token.md).

## Important details

### Payment assets per chain

| Chain          | Native asset (via oracle)   | Stablecoins (1:1)  |
| -------------- | --------------------------- | ------------------ |
| `🟪 solana`    | **SOL** — push oracle       | —                  |
| `🟣 hyperevm`  | **HYPE** — push oracle      | —                  |
| `🔵 base`      | **ETH** — Chainlink ETH/USD | **USDC**           |
| `🟢 robinhood` | **ETH** — push oracle       | —                  |
| `🟡 bnb`       | **BNB** — Chainlink BNB/USD | **USDC**, **USDT** |
| `⚪ ethereum`   | **ETH** — Chainlink ETH/USD | **USDC**, **USDT** |

### Anti-Sybil pricing

To stop one wallet from hoarding identities, reservations get more expensive the more active ones a wallet already holds:

* **Escalating cost** — each additional active reservation on the same wallet costs more than the last.
* **Per-wallet cap** — a wallet can only hold up to a maximum number of active reservations at once.

## What happens next?

* During your window, only your authorized wallet can launch the reserved `Name + Ticker`.
* If you launch and later reach a market-cap goal, a reserved launch earns the **longest** [post-launch protection](/identity-protection/post-launch-protection.md) windows.
* When the window lapses without a launch, the identity frees up again — the fee is not returned.

## Troubleshooting

| Symptom                                 | Fix                                                                                                      |
| --------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Reservation reverted with a price error | The oracle answer was stale (fail-closed) — retry in a moment.                                           |
| Cost higher than the listed tier        | You already hold active reservations — anti-Sybil escalation applies.                                    |
| "Reservation cap reached"               | You've hit the per-wallet limit — let one lapse or launch it first.                                      |
| Identity shows as taken                 | Someone reserved or protected it — [check it](/identity-protection/identity-checker.md) or pick another. |

## 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.novamp.io/identity-protection/reservation-tiers.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.
