The General’s
field paper.

01 / The project

General Tso combines an imposing military commander with a literal chicken. Its fictional mascot wears ornate armor, commands the Chicken Army, and treats a takeout box with the gravity of a battle plan. The project’s identity draws on food culture, internet humor, and the familiar General Tso name.

The intended purpose of $TSO is participation in a meme-driven community. No product revenue, dividends, ownership rights, redemption rights, yield, or binding governance rights have been specified. Future features must be described and reviewed before they are presented as token benefits.

“War Chest,” “The Kitchen,” “Extra Crispy,” and “Secret Sauce” are project vocabulary. These names do not establish a treasury, DAO, burn mechanism, or liquidity pool.

02 / Token design

XRP Ledger is the selected chain. The token standard and issuance settings remain to be finalized. The final specification must identify the exact network and token identifier, rather than relying on the ticker alone.

Not specified

The project owner has approved this allocation split, totalling 21 billion TSO. These are planned Mainnet allocations, not issued or locked Mainnet balances. Supply enforcement, issuer permissions, vesting and release schedules remain pending. The liquidity reserve will not necessarily all enter a pool at launch. No locked liquidity or independent audit is claimed. Until tokens are distributed or enforceably restricted, the founder who owns MSMG may control more than the 4.76% founder allocation through company-held reserves.

03 / The War Chest

The initial custody plan is for the company owner to hold the signing keys. Separate addresses will distinguish fund purposes but will not provide independent approval. Live custody and recovery arrangements are not yet configured.

Proposed operating principles are to separate project funds from personal funds, identify the parties controlling funds, and publish the relevant treasury addresses and spending policy. These controls have not yet been implemented.

Before a sale, the project should define signing authority, wallet recovery, spending approvals, vesting enforcement, and the treatment of funds if the launch is cancelled. A proposed budget should separately disclose development, operations, legal and accounting work, community activity, and liquidity funding. The planned allocation split is approved; the operating budget, spending controls and release schedules remain pending. Token reserves are not cash funding.

The project operator is MSMG Production Company Limited (萬壽無疆創作有限公司), a Hong Kong company, BRN 74800894. Project enquiries: orders@general-tso-chicken.com. The legal structure and obligations of any token offering remain under review.

04 / Proposed token sale

An ICO is being considered. Whether it will proceed depends on the issuer, intended buyers, legal analysis, technical readiness, and payment-provider acceptance. Calling a token a meme coin does not by itself determine the legal treatment of an offering.

A final sale document would need to state buyer eligibility, price, accepted assets and networks, minimum and maximum contributions, sale allocation, fundraising limits, start and end conditions, delivery and vesting, fees, cancellation and refund rules, and the use of proceeds. A 4 billion TSO conditional distribution / sale reserve is approved. The amount actually offered and all other sale terms remain pending.

Any required identity verification and sanctions screening must use an appropriate provider and published privacy practices. This site currently collects neither identity documents nor contributions. See the Launch plan for the current status.

05 / Proposed markets

XRP ↔ TSO and USDT ↔ TSO are candidate markets, not confirmed listings. A functioning market requires compatible assets, an execution venue, actual liquidity, and appropriate operating arrangements. No price, trading volume, liquidity depth, or exchange partnership is claimed.

On the selected XRP Ledger network, its existing decentralized exchange is one route to evaluate. The asset identifier and issuer must be verified. Tether’s supported-protocol list reviewed for this draft does not list XRP Ledger for native USD₮; a similarly named issued asset is not automatically official USDT. A USDT market would therefore need a separately verified compatible network and venue or a reviewed representation of the asset.

The initial approach to evaluate is integration with an existing venue rather than operating a custodial exchange. This is a design proposal, not a regulatory exemption. A platform that holds customer funds or matches customer orders requires a separate legal, custody, security, and operational assessment.

06 / Target schedule — 2026

1. 21 September 2026 · Completed — Establish headquarters. Website, mascot, public project email, and MSMG company identity published. Planned 21B supply and 1B founder allocation confirmed.
2. 21 September 2026 · Initial tests completed — Prove the mechanics. Issuance, transfers, XRP/TSO order-book and pool trades, and full liquidity withdrawal passed internal Testnet checks ahead of the 16 October target. A separate 24-release vesting rehearsal subsequently passed; view control tests. Independent review and production controls remain pending. Read the test evidence ↗
3. 31 October 2026 · Target — Set the launch terms. Allocation split approved. Finalize founder vesting, budget, release schedules, and liquidity plan. Obtain legal advice on the offering and buyer jurisdictions; confirm any required banking and payment arrangements.
4. 20 November 2026 · Target — Review and rehearse. Complete technical review, resolve critical findings, verify supply and wallet controls, and rehearse delivery and any applicable refund process on testnet.
5. 11 December 2026 · Target — Make the launch decision. Review legal, security, operational, and liquidity readiness. Publish final documentation and verified identifiers before any participation opens.
6. 14–31 December 2026 · Conditional target — Deploy the chickens. Aim to launch the token and an initial XRP/TSO market only if the readiness review passes. Reserve the rest of December for monitoring and fixes.

Our goal is launch readiness and a conditional launch by 31 December 2026. These are planning targets, not guaranteed delivery or sale dates. If a required review or arrangement is incomplete, launch moves back and we publish a revised schedule. USDT integration and third-party exchange listings have no committed date.

07 / Risks & open decisions

A meme token may have no value or practical utility. If issued, its price could be highly volatile and buyers could lose the full amount paid. A market may never develop, liquidity may disappear, and selling may not be possible.

Additional risks include concentrated ownership, operator permissions, compromised wallets, implementation defects, network outages, stablecoin or bridge failure, payment disputes, and changes in law or provider support. Technical review cannot eliminate these risks.

The project operator is a Hong Kong company. The token-sale structure, permitted buyer jurisdictions, and applicable obligations have not been legally finalized. Jurisdiction-specific legal and tax advice is needed before proceeding. The U.S. SEC staff’s meme-coin statement is limited to the circumstances it describes and is not a blanket approval of ICOs. The final structure and marketing must be assessed on their own facts.

The Hong Kong SFC explains that an ICO’s treatment depends on its terms and circumstances, including whether its tokens are securities. This draft does not establish eligibility to offer tokens in Hong Kong or elsewhere.
