Community takeover
Redirecting an abandoned launch's creator fees to a new community recipient.
When a launch's creator disappears, the community can request that future creator fees be redirected to a new recipient. Two routes exist, matching the pons v2 model.
Voluntary transfer
A live creator can hand over the fee stream directly: the current creator fee
recipient calls transferCreatorFeeRecipient on the bonding curve. No review,
takes effect immediately.
Requested takeover (CTO)
For a creator who has vanished or lost wallet access:
Submit the request
Fill the form at /cto with the token address, the proposed new recipient,
and evidence of community support (at least 20 characters — link votes,
Telegram consensus, etc.). The request is emailed to the team for manual
review; nothing on-chain happens yet.
Owner proposes on-chain
If approved, the protocol owner calls proposeCreatorFeeRecipientChange.
This starts a public, on-chain 3-day timelock. Proposing is owner-gated
by design — takeovers can't be used to grief active creators.
Anyone executes
Once the timelock elapses, execution is permissionless for a further 3-day window. If nobody executes in time, the proposal expires and must be re-proposed.
Scope of a takeover
A takeover only redirects future fees. It never touches tokens, liquidity, or anyone's balances. A stolen creator wallet also can't dodge a takeover by re-transferring during the timelock — the proposal still executes.
