Ownership and transfers
What moves with a Squeek when it changes hands, and what stays with the previous owner.
TL;DR
- A Squeek's level and merge cooldown move with it. Rewards stay with whoever staked it.
- Staking holds a deposited Squeek for you. Only you can withdraw or merge it, and you withdraw it before selling.
- Approvals let an operator transfer a Squeek in your wallet, but not deposit, withdraw, merge or claim for you.
What goes to the new owner?
The buyer gets the Squeek's token ID, level and merge cooldown. Claimable rewards stay with the seller, and the buyer earns only after they deposit it.
While a Squeek is deposited, Staking holds it for you. Withdraw it before a transfer; this lowers your power immediately but leaves your claimable rewards in Staking.
What does an approval allow?
| Action | Who can do it |
|---|---|
| Transfer a Squeek in a wallet | The owner or an approved operator |
| Deposit | The owner only; an approved operator can't deposit for you |
| Withdraw | The registered depositor |
| Merge | The owner of both Squeeks, or the depositor of both deposited Squeeks; approvals grant nothing |
| Claim rewards | Whoever staked it; once a claim recipient is set, only that claim recipient |
Before you buy or sell a Squeek
Just before the trade, check the Squeek's level and merge cooldown, and confirm it's in the seller's wallet rather than deposited. A seller withdraws a deposited Squeek first; its claimable rewards stay in Staking for them. Transfers are standard ERC-721 transactions and work while issuance or Staking intake is paused.
