Step 4: After activation
What happens after Step 3: Activate vault. Activation finalizes your deposit and share split; it does not immediately open secondary DEX trading.
Activation finalizes your deposit and share split. Public DEX trading starts after the fair-launch auction completes and finalize succeeds on Base.
Monitor progress in the deploy app.

Right after activation
| Item | State |
|---|---|
| Vault | Funded (50M–100M creator coin) |
| Fair-launch auction | Scheduled or live (Thursday 00:00 UTC epoch) |
■ ShareOFT on DEX | Not yet |
| Lottery | Not yet (needs qualifying live buys) |
| Milestone | Activated |
Share allocation at finalize
When activation finalizes, the batcher wraps the deposit into ■ and enforces a fixed split:
| Leg | % | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| CCA auction | 30% | Fair-launch price discovery |
| Creator vesting | 30% | Linear unlock over 365 days |
| Solana bridge | 30% | LayerZero OFT bridge (part of finalize) |
| LP reserve | 10% | Held on CCA strategy for v4 migration |
The 30% Solana bridge leg runs at Phase 2 finalize as part of deployment — no separate Solana step. Solana share bridge
Timeline
Deploy-session steps (sponsored UserOps, same activation flow):
| Step | What happens | Your action | Milestone |
|---|---|---|---|
| Phase 2 finalize | Wrap deposit; 30/30/30/10 split | Sign in app | Activated |
| Phase 3 strategies | Charm 45% · Ajna 45% · 10% idle TVL | Sign in app (automatic bundle) | Activated |
| Phase 4 launch | launchDeferredAuction — auction scheduled | Sign in app | Activated |
After Phase 4, the auction runs on its own schedule:
| Phase | What happens | Your action | Milestone |
|---|---|---|---|
| Auction scheduled | CCA created; bids open at next Thursday 00:00 UTC | Monitor app | Activated |
| Auction live | Uniswap V4 auction finds clearing price | Monitor app | Activated |
| Auction graduates | Minimum raise met; settlement eligible | Usually none | → Settlement |
| Settlement | sweepCurrency() → migrate() (Uniswap v4 LP) | Keeper / app if prompted | → Trading live |
| Solana bridge + Meteora | Bridged ■ at finalize; pool may follow | None — included in bundle |
Trading live on Base
Public DEX trading and lottery are not guaranteed the moment activation finalizes. Base is trading live when all of the following have succeeded:
| Step | Onchain action | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | CCA auction graduates | Minimum raise met; clearing price set |
| 2 | sweepCurrency() | Auction proceeds swept per CCA lifecycle |
| 3 | migrate() | Uniswap v4 LP position created from auction + LP reserve |
| 4 | Hook config aligned | Tax hook / tradeFeeCollector must match intended gauge routing — separate from migrate() |
If the auction fails, finalizeFailedAuction() / sweepUnsoldTokens() clears strategy state so a relaunch can proceed. Details: CCA launch strategy.
Once live:
■shares tradable on Base DEXs- Fees on qualifying buys → CreatorGaugeController
- Lottery entries on qualifying buys → CreatorLotteryManager
- Zora creator revenue can accrue vault PPS via payout router
Solana share bridge
The Solana bridge is included in every new vault launch and runs at Phase 2 finalize (~30% of ■ supply). Creator coin stays on Base. Meteora pools are operator-provisioned and may complete after finalize.
FAQ
Why isn’t trading live yet?
Buyers receive shares through the auction first. Open DEX trading follows auction completion + finalize.
When does the lottery start?
After trading live, on qualifying ShareOFT DEX buys on Base — not on activation, wraps, or bridge receipts.
Do I run finalize manually?
New vault flows are app-orchestrated. Follow in-app prompts if finalize is pending.
Auction stuck or failed?
Use in-app support. Onchain relaunch semantics: CCA strategy.
