LONG upgrades launch factory with stronger anti-bot token issuance controls and permanent ticker locks for select assets

LONG, an RWA liquidity and token launch platform on Robinhood Chain, said it has upgraded its launch factory. The new version expands protections against automated token issuance across the LONG app and terminals including fomo, Defined, and GMGN. According to the platform, the update also improves its ability to curb junk-token launches and inflated launch counts during peak traffic periods. In a separate change, LONG said some selected assets will receive permanent ticker locks. Additional assets may be added later based on listing time, price performance, and ticker uniqueness. Users can check whether a ticker is locked on the token page. The update outlines a tighter approach to launch management on the platform, with the focus placed on issuance quality controls and ticker handling rather than broader protocol changes.
