What Garlic does about it
Nobody can stop a copy launching on Pump.fun. Garlic makes sure everyone knows which one is real, while it still matters: in the first minutes.
Flagged in seconds
The copy's page, every Telegram chat running the bot and the X bot all say it: a copy of $FTR, launched 32 days later. Same name, ticker and picture.
The wave goes to the original
Search FTR and the original comes first. The biggest market caps are marked thin when their liquidity can't back them.
An address that proves it
Launched on Garlic, the original's address ends in og. Copies can't get one: they're blocked here, or launch as a tribute ending in jr.
Its holders get paid for riffs
A tribute launch sends 20% of its creator fees to the original's community, locked on-chain. The copy pays rent instead of eating it.
