Company creation follows one path
Centiki does not allow a company to appear from an unrestricted form. A new company must reach the IPO Factory through an authorized game process. This keeps company creation understandable and prevents competing issuance routes.
Authority comes before issuance
Before virtual shares can be issued, the game must establish who is permitted to complete the company. The authorizing event identifies the company project and assigns the participant who will carry it into the IPO Factory.
This separation matters. Authorization decides whether the company may proceed. The IPO Factory performs the final issuance.
Name, ticker, and image
Every company needs a distinct public identity. Its name describes the company, its ticker identifies the shares throughout the exchange, and its image makes the company recognizable in the interface.
These elements should be finalized before issuance. Changing identity after shares exist would make the public record harder to follow.
The role of the company leader
The designated leader completes the company record. The leader confirms the permitted name and ticker, supplies the company image, and enters the authorized issuance details.
The leader is not free to create unrelated shares. The IPO Factory should match the authorization that brought the company there.
Issuing the virtual shares
The IPO Factory creates the approved supply of company shares and connects that supply to the company record. When issuance succeeds, the company receives a permanent identity inside Centiki.
The issuance event is recorded so players can trace when the company entered the game, who completed it, and what was created.
Why the process is controlled
A controlled creation path protects scarcity and continuity. It prevents duplicate tickers, unexplained supplies, and companies with no accountable origin. The result is a company that belongs to Centiki’s history rather than a temporary profile entry.
