Creator Fee Release & Takeovers
Learn when AscendLaunch creator fees become available, how held allocations unlock, what happens below $40K market cap and how community takeover rules fit in.
Creator allocation before graduation
For tokens below a $40,000 market cap, the documentation separates the creator allocation into an immediately available portion and a held portion. The available amount follows the payout configuration selected at launch; holder distributions and buybacks can still have separate processing conditions.
Unlocking held fees
Held creator fees unlock after the documented moving-average condition above the $40,000 threshold is satisfied. A short price spike is not enough because the release check uses a moving-average hold condition.

Community takeovers
Takeover mechanics are separate from the trading-fee schedule. Any takeover path depends on the token configuration, applicable contract checks and current program rules. Use the deployed contracts and current interface to confirm eligibility.
