FAQ

Short answers to the questions we hear most. Deeper detail is linked along the way.

Do I get my participation tokens back?

No. When an epoch ends, its fund is drained and split across the distribution's shares (protocol fee, buy back & burn, custom recipients). Participating means spending the participation token in exchange for a pro-rata claim on the distribution token — that's what makes the backing real.

When can I claim my rewards?

After the epoch you joined has ended plus its CLAIM_DELAY_SECONDS cooling-off window. Rewards stay unclaimed until you call claim — nothing is auto-sent. Claims are batchable across epoch ranges.

Can I cancel or withdraw a participation?

No. There is no withdrawal function in DistributorV1 by design — locked funds are committed for the epochs you chose. That finality is what separates sqrtDAO from refundable presales.

Who triggers the epoch drain?

Anyone. callDrainHook is permissionless — after an epoch ends, any wallet or bot can release its fund to the configured shares. There is no keeper dependency and no way for anyone to redirect the funds elsewhere.

What if nobody participates in an epoch?

Nothing to drain: the hook call requires a non-zero fund, so empty epochs simply skip. Their emission reward stays in the distributor, unclaimed forever — which effectively reduces total sellable supply.

Can a creator change the rules mid-sale?

No. Every distribution parameter — epochs, curves, minimums, shares, delays — is fixed immutably at construction. Creators have no admin functions on their distributor.

What does it cost?

The protocol fee (in basis points) is taken from drained epoch funds as an automatic share. Claiming is free when you do it yourself; if you let a third-party bot claim for you, it earns whatever fee you opted into via setClaimFeeBps. Launching adds standard Uniswap V3 swap fees on pool interactions (0.3% tier).

Is the liquidity safe?

LP tokens are minted to the dead address at pool creation — liquidity can never be removed by anyone, including the team. Combined with buy back & burns, backing only ever grows. See buy back & burn.
