Ownership Deals

Deals are the only way to transfer your token's verified registration to a new owner. Every deal is announced on-chain 30 days before it happens, giving token holders time to make informed decisions. Both parties sign cryptographically. The transfer executes automatically with no intermediary.

Why Use Chain Daddy Deals?

Traditional crypto project acquisitions rely on lawyers, escrow agents, and trust between strangers. Chain Daddy replaces all of that with on-chain enforcement.

What you get	How it works
30-day public notice	Every deal is visible on-chain for 30 days before execution. Holders see it coming. No advisor offers this.
Cryptographic consent	Both parties sign on-chain. The buyer's signature proves mutual agreement. No disputes.
Automatic transfer	The release-and-register mechanism transfers verified ownership without trusting either party. No escrow needed.
Public record	Every deal is permanently on-chain. Legitimate projects point to their deal history as proof.
$30K max total fees	Facilitation ($20K cap) + protocol contribution ($10K cap). Traditional M&A advisory charges $50K-$200K on a $2M deal.
50% launch discount	The first 10 deals pay half the facilitation fee.

Deal Types

Type	Use Case	What Happens to Holders
Buyout Offer	Buyer acquires the token project	Holders can redeem tokens for ETH/stablecoins
Migration	Two tokens merge into one	Holders swap old tokens for new tokens
Project Acquisition	Project changes hands	No token change; ownership/admin transfers

Buyout Offer

The buyer acquires the token and provides a redemption pool so existing holders can exit at a set rate.

• Buyer deploys a redemption contract and funds it
• Holders send tokens to redeem for ETH or stablecoins
• Redemption window remains open for minimum 30 days after the seller releases the registration

Migration

Two token projects merge. Holders swap their old tokens for new tokens at an agreed ratio.

• Buyer deploys a swap contract with new tokens deposited
• Holders swap old tokens for new tokens at the published ratio
• Swap window remains open for minimum 30 days after the seller releases the registration

Project Acquisition

The project changes hands without affecting the token itself. The verified owner transfers token admin/ownership to the buyer.

• Seller transfers token admin role to buyer's address
• Payment handled directly between parties (P2P or escrow)
• Token holders are unaffected

Making an Offer

A buyer opens a deal from the token's page (Make Offer) and picks a deal type. For a buyout they set the offer amount and currency, verify they hold the funds, and specify the holder redemption terms — the rate and token holders can redeem for after the buyout is accepted:

Once submitted, the offer is signed and sent to the current owner for review.

How Deals Work

1. ANNOUNCE  ->  Deal posted on-chain (30-day countdown starts)
2. EXECUTE   ->  Both parties fulfill terms during notice period
3. RELEASE   ->  Seller releases their registration after notice period ends
4. REGISTER  ->  Buyer files a fresh registration (60-day window)

Step 1: Announce. The current verified owner submits a deal with the buyer's wallet address, deal type, terms document, and the buyer's signature proving consent. An on-chain event notifies holders and a deal banner appears on the token page.

Step 2: Fulfill terms. During the 30-day notice period, both parties complete their obligations: the buyer funds a redemption pool (buyout offer), deploys a swap contract (migration), or the seller transfers admin access (project acquisition).

Step 3: Release. After the notice period, the seller releases their on-chain registration — this is irreversible.

Irreversible

Once released, the deal cannot be cancelled. Only proceed when all terms are satisfied.

Step 4: Register. The buyer files a fresh registration in their own wallet. They have 60 days to do so. The registration resets to a clean state.

Reviewing an Offer

When someone offers to acquire your token, it shows up in your deals and you're notified. Open it to see the full terms — amount, payment method, buyer, the buyer's message, and the fee breakdown — then Accept or Reject:

Accepting announces the deal on-chain and starts the 30-day notice period. Rejecting closes it with no on-chain action.

Staying in the Loop

Deal activity — new offers, acceptances, and token alerts — surfaces in the notifications panel (the bell in the top bar):

Fees

What You Pay

Chain Daddy uses a sliding scale, so larger deals pay a lower percentage. Each rate applies only to the portion of the deal in that range, like tax brackets.

Deal Value	Rate
First $25,000	5%
$25,001 to $100,000	3%
$100,001 to $500,000	2%
Above $500,000	1%

Hard cap: $20,000. No deal ever pays more than $20,000 in facilitation fees, regardless of size.

There is also a 2% protocol contribution, capped at $10,000, that funds ongoing protocol maintenance and ecosystem development. Combined, your maximum total fee is $30,000 on any deal.

Launch discount: The first 10 deals get 50% off the facilitation fee.

How the sliding scale works

On a $50,000 deal: the first $25K is at 5% ($1,250) and the next $25K is at 3% ($750). Total: $2,000 facilitation + $1,000 protocol = $3,000 (6.0% effective rate).

Fee Examples

Deal Size	Facilitation	Protocol (2%, max $10K)	Total	Effective Rate
$5,000	$250	$100	$350	7.0%
$25,000	$1,250	$500	$1,750	7.0%
$50,000	$2,000	$1,000	$3,000	6.0%
$100,000	$3,500	$2,000	$5,500	5.5%
$500,000	$11,500	$10,000 (cap)	$21,500	4.3%
$1,000,000	$16,500	$10,000 (cap)	$26,500	2.7%
$2,000,000	$20,000 (cap)	$10,000 (cap)	$30,000	1.5%

Compared to Traditional Alternatives

Service	Typical fee on a $1M deal	Timeline
M&A advisory firm	$50,000 to $100,000	3 to 12 months
Escrow service	$10,000 to $30,000	1 to 3 months
Chain Daddy	$26,500	30 days notice + 60 days claim

Other Fees

Action	Fee
Announce deal	Free
Cancel deal	Free (before release only)
Release registration	Gas only
Buyer's new registration	Standard platform fee — see Registration & Creation Pricing

Cancellation

The seller can cancel an announced deal at any time before releasing their registration.

• The registration remains with the seller as if nothing happened
• Cannot cancel after release

Expired Deals

If the buyer fails to register within 60 days after the seller releases:

1. The deal expires
2. Anyone can claim the ticker at the standard platform fee — see Registration & Creation Pricing
3. First-come-first-served

Buyer Risk

If you are the designated buyer, register promptly after the seller releases. After 60 days, anyone can take the ticker.

What Happens After a Deal

• The seller's registration is permanently released and burned on-chain
• The buyer files a new registration under their own wallet
• All metadata and managers are cleared
• Health score resets with a 30-day grace period

Holder Protections

Protection	How It Works
30-day notice	Holders see the deal announcement and can exit before transfer
On-chain terms	Deal terms are on IPFS, immutable
Mutual consent	Buyer signs a cryptographic message proving they agree
Public events	All deal actions emit events for monitoring
No hidden deals	Only one active deal per registration at a time

Constraints

• One active deal per registration
• Registrations are permanently bound to your wallet; deals are the only transfer mechanism
• Both parties must opt in
• No on-chain escrow for payments; parties handle payment directly
• No admin overrides or reversals

Edge Cases

Seller announces but never releases: Deal stays open. Seller can cancel anytime.

Registration goes inactive during notice period: Deal continues. Buyer files their new registration and can revive activity.

Buyer's wallet is compromised: Seller cancels and re-announces with a new buyer address. Must be before release.

Lost wallet after release: Deal expires after 60 days and the ticker becomes available to anyone at the standard platform fee.
