Takeover the Crown (King)

The takeover loop

1. Pay ETH to Takeover the Mine
2. Mine CLAIM while you are King
3. When dethroned, Collect ETH (75% of the takeover price they paid)

This is a tempo game: cost starts high after a takeover, decays over ~1 hour, then doubles on the next takeover.

Before you takeover

• You are on Base (8453)
• You have enough ETH for the current takeover cost + gas
• You understand takeovers are public, competitive, and can revert if state changes
• The app uses the live quoted cost (no max price cap setting)
• Confirm soon after refreshing: if someone else takes over first, the cost doubles and your tx can revert

How to takeover

1. Open Crown
2. Check current cost and tier (High / Mid / Low)
3. Press Takeover and confirm

If someone takes over first:

• Your transaction reverts (you keep ETH, pay gas)
• Refresh the Crown page and retry

Bots (optional)

Some players use trusted automation to execute takeovers on their behalf. This is optional.

How it works:

• You grant the bot Bot access (a delegation session) with limited permissions
• The bot pays ETH and takes over for your address
• Your address becomes the King identity

Default payout routing for delegated takeovers:

• The bot receives the 75% dethroned-King ETH payout (so it can keep looping)
• Your mined CLAIM stays with you unless you explicitly route it to the bot

Setup:

• App footer → Security → Bot access
• See: Bots and automation

While you are King

You see: reign timer, mined CLAIM, current takeover cost for others.

Recommended: lock your mined CLAIM via Furnace to grow veCLAIM and royalties. Holding or swapping is optional.

When you are dethroned

You receive:

• CLAIM you mined during your reign
• King payout (75% of the next takeover)

Note: If the ETH transfer fails, it becomes available to Collect from the app.

Private sending (advanced)

Some wallets support private/MEV-protected sending. Do not use RPC URLs from DMs.

Common failures

Tips

• Use cost tiers as timing context
• Under contention, reverts are normal. Retry fast or use private sending (advanced).
• Use Radar alerts for Cost: Low windows
