Everything you need to know about the $TCM ICO, tipcryp.me, and how your investment works.

TipCryp is a creator-first crypto tipping and payment platform built on Base and Polygon. It lets streamers, content creators, and digital artists receive direct crypto tips — with no platform taking a cut.

Traditional platforms like Twitch, YouTube, and Kick charge 30–50% fees on tips and donations. TipCryp eliminates this. With tipcryp.me, creators get a personal payment page and instant wallet-to-wallet settlement — already live and deployed.

The $TCM token powers the ecosystem: used for staking, governance, premium creator features, and the platform reward loop.

$TCM (TipCryp Money) is the native utility token with a fixed supply of 1,000,000,000 TCM — no minting, no inflation.

  • Staking — earn 5.8% APY by locking $TCM (110M tokens allocated)
  • Governance — vote on protocol upgrades and treasury allocations via DAO
  • Platform access — unlock premium creator tools and verified badges on tipcryp.me
  • Ecosystem rewards — creators and tippers earn $TCM through platform activity
  • Liquidity provision — provide liquidity on Base/Polygon DEXs to earn additional yield

Yes — tipcryp.me is live and deployed. This is not a whitepaper promise. Visit it now at tipcryp.me.

tipcryp.me gives every creator a personalised payment link. Visitors tip directly to the creator's wallet in seconds — no account required, no platform fees, no chargebacks. Supports BTC, ETH, USDT, and XRP.

The product already exists. You are investing in working infrastructure, not a concept.

Four stages, each increasing in price to reward early investors:

  • Stage 1 — Seed: $0.005 per $TCM · 15M tokens · Live now
  • Stage 2: $0.010 per $TCM · 20M tokens
  • Stage 3: $0.015 per $TCM · 25M tokens
  • Public ICO: $0.025 · 40M tokens

Total raise: $1,650,000. FDV at ICO price: ~$25M. Stage 1 investors enter at the lowest price in the entire ICO structure — $0.005 per $TCM.

Yes — larger investments receive bonus $TCM automatically:

  • Invest $1,000–$4,999+25% bonus tokens
  • Invest $5,000++50% bonus tokens

Example: $5,000 at Stage 1 = 500,000 base + 250,000 bonus = 750,000 $TCM total. Bonus tokens release on the same TGE date as base tokens. No vesting cliff for presale investors.

Currently accepted:

  • BTC — Bitcoin (via Exodus or your exchange)
  • ETH — Ethereum (via MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, Rabby, Phantom, Exodus, or Trust Wallet)
  • USDT — Tether ERC-20 (Ethereum mainnet)
  • XRP — Ripple (via Exodus or XUMM)

Your contribution is converted to USD at the live exchange rate. $TCM allocation is calculated from that USD value at the current stage price. SOL support coming soon.

Key security measures:

  • Smart contract audits — audited before mainnet deployment, reports published on the Security page
  • Multi-sig treasury — funds require multiple authorised signatories to move
  • No mint authority — supply fixed at 1 billion, no additional tokens can ever be created
  • Team vesting — 12-month cliff + 24–36 month linear vest on all team tokens
  • Liquidity locked — 150M liquidity tokens locked 12–24 months post-launch

ICO funds are allocated transparently:

  • 40% — Infrastructure & development
  • 25% — Marketing & creator partnerships
  • 20% — Liquidity provisioning (DEX listings, market stability)
  • 10% — Team & operations
  • 5% — Legal & compliance

A live transparency dashboard will show treasury movements in real time at live-transparency.html post-raise.

The Token Generation Event (TGE) is when $TCM officially launches on-chain — contracts deploy, tokens mint, liquidity seeds on DEXs, and presale investors can claim their allocation.

Stage 1 closes July 4, 2026. Full ICO targets Q3 2026. TGE is planned for Q3–Q4 2026 depending on audit timelines and exchange listings.

Join the official Telegram to get notified the moment the TGE date is confirmed.

Your $TCM tokens are allocated the moment your transaction confirms and held securely until the TGE. Here is the exact process:

1 Invest — send BTC, ETH, USDT, or XRP to the ICO address on the invest page. Your allocation is recorded at the Stage 1 seed price of $0.005 per $TCM.
2 Save your TX hash — you will see a transaction confirmation with your hash. Screenshot or copy it. This is your allocation proof linking your wallet address to your $TCM amount.
3 Tokens held until TGE — your $TCM are secured in the allocation contract. No action needed from you. Presale investors have no vesting cliff — full allocation (base + any bonuses) releases on launch day.
4 On release day — connect your wallet at tipcryp.io — visit tipcryp.io and connect the same wallet you used to invest. The site automatically detects your allocation and displays your full $TCM balance — base tokens plus any bonus tokens — ready to claim.
5 Claim your tokens — click claim. Your $TCM transfers directly to your connected wallet. Hold, stake for 5.8% APY, provide liquidity, or use them across the TipCryp ecosystem at tipcryp.me.

✦ Important: Always use the same wallet address you sent from. The claim system matches your allocation to your wallet automatically — no sign-up, no email, no extra steps. Connect your wallet and your tokens will be waiting.
