# Community takeovers

Handing a coin's creator payout to an active community when the original creator steps away.

When a coin's original creator steps away, the community can request a takeover. A takeover transfers the social presence and, where applicable, the creator royalty payout to an active community.

Onchain, this is the creator handover described under [Fees and royalties](https://bulllaunch.fun/docs/fees.md): `transferCreator`, or the two-step `proposeCreatorTransfer` and `executeCreatorTransfer` on the hook. Only the current creator or a hook operator can move it. To request one, reach the team through [Support](https://bulllaunch.fun/docs/support.md).

> The coin, its pool, and its locked liquidity are unaffected. Only the creator payout wallet and creator-facing surfaces change. Never share a private key or seed phrase; Bull Launch will never ask you to send funds to process a request.
