FAQ

What network is it on?

Ethereum mainnet (chain 1), and nowhere else. The contracts are deployed there, and the Deployments page lists the exact addresses. Check any address you are shown against that page before approving anything.

The pool is live, so C4 can be bought and sold. Anyone offering you C4 at a different address is not offering this token.

Do I have to sell to get a bond?

No, and committing is the better path. A sell (without a commit bond) gives you a bond at 10%/day and costs you 12.7% of the sale. Committing directly gives you 15%/day — the 10% base plus the +5 boost — and costs you nothing beyond the commitment itself.

Can I get my committed tokens back?

No. The principal is a basis for computing rewards, not a balance. Committed tokens join the reward pool and are paid back out to bond holders generally.

Is this a burn?

No. Committed tokens are not destroyed — they move into the distributor and are redistributed. Anyone can verify this on the explorer. If you see the project described as burning tokens, that description is wrong.

Where does the yield come from?

A 30%-of-supply reserve, live in the distributor from day one, plus the tokens committed by participants. Not from trading fees: those go entirely to the creator.

Will the rewards last forever?

No. The reserve is finite and nothing refills it. How long it lasts depends on how much is committed and how often people harvest, so any duration quoted in advance would be a guess — the app shows what is left. After that, payouts stop. This is stated in the reward pool and known risks.

What if I end up with lots of small bonds?

That is the normal state, and nothing needs doing about it. Every sell opens its own position, and each one earns, compounds and pays independently. Holding ten is not worse than holding one of the same total size: the rate ladder is per position, so ten small bonds each climb on their own schedule.

The only cost is your attention. Each position has its own six-hour window, so collecting everything means touching each of them.

Does claiming reset my rate?

No. Claiming pays out and leaves the rate exactly where it was.

Can I let rewards pile up and claim once a week?

No. Rewards are windowed: each claim (or compound) harvests at most one six-hour window of accrual, and windows you skip are forfeited — they never accumulate. Showing up every window collects everything; showing up weekly collects one window per visit.

How fast can I reach 20%/day?

20 compounds from a commit bond with its boost alive (5 days at one per six hours), 40 from a sell-side bond (10 days). Compounding less often takes proportionally longer.

Can my rate be changed by the team?

Upward, yes. The deploying key can set a rate grant: extra daily rate handed to every bond at once, positions already open included. It is not capped, so a bond can pay more than 20%/day while it is on, and it can be cleared again just as easily. A change applies to time already elapsed since your position was last touched, up to one window.

What it cannot do is take you below what you earned. The grant only ever adds, and your stored rate never falls. So read a rate above 20%/day as a setting that may be withdrawn, and the 10%/day base as the floor the code keeps.

Can every bond be raised to the same rate at once?

Yes, and that is a second lever, separate from the grant. A rate floor lifts every position to one daily rate in a single call: a floor at 30%/day means every bond reads 30%/day from that block, whatever its ladder, whether it was opened a month ago or a minute after. Nothing to claim or compound first.

It differs from the grant in what it does to the spread. A grant adds points to each bond and preserves the gap between a fresh position and a compounded one; a floor collapses that gap, because every bond below it reads the floor. While a floor above 20%/day is on, compounding still grows your principal but no longer moves the rate anyone sees.

Both are uncapped, both are immediate, and both can be cleared. Clearing a floor puts every ladder back exactly where its holder left it: it writes no position.

Can the team make exiting cost more?

No. The retention is dialable below its engraved 10% cap, down to zero, but never above it: the cap is a constant of the hook, not a setting. Whatever the key does, selling never costs more than what launch day advertised.

What is the boost?

Every bond earns the 10%/day base. A bond opened deliberately — a commit bond — carries +5 points on top, 15%/day effective at birth, and what a bond earns is capped at 20%/day. The boost is the protocol pricing the difference between choosing to commit and being retained on a sell.

What makes me lose the boost?

Moving even one token out of your wallet — a sell or a transfer, of any size. The moment it happens, every commit bond the wallet holds loses its +5 points, permanently for those bonds; the compound steps already earned are kept, and the ladder can still climb to 20%. Committing more, claiming rewards and receiving tokens change nothing. A commit bond you open later starts boosted again.

Why did my sell not create a bond?

Because the sale fitted inside your retention-free allowance: no 10% retention, no new bond — you paid the 3% tax only. Two things had to be true: the allowance your commitment opened covered the whole amount, and the protocol could see that the wallet spending it was the wallet selling — either the sale went through the official app, or the C4 sold left your wallet in that same transaction. Both hold on the ordinary routes, so the exemption is not tied to one interface.

How much can I sell without retention?

Five times the opening principal of every bond you have opened, added up, for as long as the protocol lives. Sell-side bonds count: the one a retained sale mints for you grants 5x its own principal. The app shows what you have left. Every exempt sale subtracts its full amount. Opening another bond raises the ceiling; compounding does not, and buying somebody else's bond grants you nothing. Once the allowance is spent, selling costs the full 12.7% again and mints a bond, which grants afresh.

The quota is cumulative rather than per-sale on purpose: a per-sale rule would let a large holder with a token-sized commit bond cut any amount into small slices and exit it all retention-free.

Why is the tax higher than 3% right now?

You are in the launch window. The tax starts high to make sniping the opening blocks unprofitable and decays linearly to 3%. It can only go down, the schedule is fixed in the contract, and nobody can restart it.

Why can't I sell right at launch?

The launch liquidity holds only tokens and no ETH, so there is nothing to pay a seller with until buyers have moved the price into the band.

Can the team take the reserve?

No. The reserve sits in the distributor, which has no withdrawal function: tokens leave it only as bond rewards paid by claim. See CovenantNotes.

Has it been audited?

Internally, in July–August 2026 — two critical flaws were found and fixed. No external audit has been done.
