CTO · interactive mechanism simulation

A dev abandons a memecoin but keeps passively earning creator fees. Holders mobilize, recapture the socials, and apply to pump.fun (cto@pump.fun) to redirect that fee stream to a verified community lead — a discretionary, off-chain adjudication with an on-chain payout effect. Most abandoned coins fade anyway; a few (like BILLY) don't.

Illustrative simulation. Modeled on the researched CTO mechanism: an absent dev keeps collecting creator fees by default; holders mobilize and apply for pump.fun's Creator Fees for Community Takeovers program; approval (discretionary, via cto@pump.fun) redirects the fee stream to a verified lead, who can fund promotion. Fee sizes, trade volume, approval odds and holder counts are randomized for visualization — not live onchain data. Sources note the outcome is bimodal: most CTO'd coins fade regardless.
