Admin controls
Ownership of the protocol contracts sits with a multisig. The list below is what that ownership permits.
What the team can do
| Control | Scope |
|---|---|
| Pause new launches and curve trading | An emergency brake, verified in the contracts: it blocks the creation of new coins and buying or selling on a curve. It moves no funds and does not reach a coin already trading in its pool, whether it graduated or was seeded at creation. |
| Change the defaults for future coins | Curve defaults, the protocol's own ratios, the referral rate. Applies to coins created afterwards, never retroactively to a live coin's frozen settings. |
| Adjust vault cooldown length | Never above 90 days, never affecting a withdrawal already in progress. |
| Adjust highlight pricing and durations | For future bookings only; a paid booking cannot be cancelled or shortened. |
| Review the module catalog | Deciding what the app lists and what it marks as unreviewed. It does not remove code from the chain, and it does not reach a coin already using a module. |
| Rescue misdirected tokens from a vault | Except the staked coin and the reward ETH, which cannot be touched. |
What the team cannot do
- Withdraw locked liquidity, on any coin. The function does not exist.
- Change a live coin's launch mode, curve, fee model, LP share or modules.
- Redirect a coin's fee recipient or its staking vault.
- Mint, freeze, seize or move anyone's coins.
- Reverse a transaction, or stop a graduated coin from trading.
- Disable a module on a live coin. There is no switch: a failing module is skipped by the pool contract itself, automatically, on the swap where it fails.
- Raise the 25% ceiling on a creator's dev buy, or the 10% ceiling on a swap fee.
- Stop a creator being paid, or hold a payout: collecting what the locked liquidity earns is permissionless.
Where this leaves a trader
The controls that exist are about the platform's future behaviour, not about coins that already exist. Once a coin is created, its economics are outside everyone's reach, including ours. That is the trade the design makes: no ability to fix a creator's mistake, and no ability to change the deal on their holders.
