# Gift Vault

The Gift Vault connects a token's tax revenue to an X (Twitter) account. A designated X user — the **Gift Owner** — controls where the tax funds are directed. If the Gift Owner stops engaging, the Vault automatically falls back to buyback & burn.

***

## How It Works

### Assigning a Gift Owner

During token creation, the creator specifies an X (Twitter) handle as the Gift Owner. This account gains the ability to direct the token's tax revenue to any EVM wallet address.

### Managing the Vault via Tweet

The Gift Owner controls the Vault by posting a tweet in a specific format:

```
gift the fee from [token_address] to [wallet_address] #BasememeGift
```

Once the tweet is detected and verified, the tax revenue is forwarded to the specified wallet address. The Gift Owner can change the destination at any time by posting a new tweet.

### 7-Day Grace Period

The Gift Owner must post a valid management tweet **at least once every 7 days** to maintain control. If 7 days pass without a new tweet, the Vault automatically transitions to **Fallback mode** (buyback & burn), and control is permanently lost.

## Vault States

The Gift Vault has three states:

| State                   | Description                                                                                                                     |
| ----------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Accumulating**        | Tax revenue is collecting in the Vault, waiting for the Gift Owner's first management tweet.                                    |
| **Streaming**           | The Gift Owner has taken control. Tax revenue is forwarded to the wallet address specified in the latest tweet.                 |
| **Fallback (SnowBall)** | The Gift Owner failed to post within 7 days. The Vault permanently switches to buyback & burn mode, just like a SnowBall Vault. |

```
Accumulating → (first tweet verified) → Streaming → (7 days without tweet) → Fallback SnowBall
```

## Key Characteristics

* **Social proof** — Vault management is tied to public X (Twitter) activity, creating transparency and accountability.
* **Flexible routing** — The Gift Owner can redirect tax revenue to any wallet address at any time, simply by posting a new tweet.
* **Built-in accountability** — The 7-day timeout ensures inactive Gift Owners lose control, protecting token holders.
* **Safe fallback** — If the Gift Owner goes inactive, the Vault defaults to buyback & burn, which benefits all token holders.
* **Immutable assignment** — The Gift Owner's X handle is set at token creation and cannot be changed.

***

## Who Benefits

* **Gift Owners** can earn ongoing revenue from a token's tax without holding or trading the token themselves.
* **Token holders** benefit from the accountability mechanism — if the Gift Owner becomes inactive, all tax revenue goes toward reducing the token supply.
* **Creators** can use Gift Vaults to incentivize influencers, community leaders, or partners by giving them control over a revenue stream tied to the token's success.

***

## When to Use Gift Vault

Gift Vault is ideal for:

* Tokens created to support or reward a specific X (Twitter) personality.
* Community-driven projects where an influencer or KOL manages the revenue.
* Scenarios where the creator wants to tie token economics to social engagement.
