Reclaim

A Loot can end with funds unclaimed because not every seat filled, or because the window closed before all rewards were distributed. Gatoll never strands that value. Once a Loot is Ended, contributors can recover what was not claimed.

Reclaim is only callable after the Loot reaches Ended: when the end time passes, all seats are claimed, or the balance is exhausted. Before that, funds are committed to the live campaign and cannot be withdrawn.

The on-chain contribution ledger determines each contributor’s recovery:

  • Native & ERC-20. Each contributor recovers their pro-rata share of the remaining balance: their contribution divided by total contributions, applied to what is left. If a campaign was over-funded or under-attended, contributors get their proportional share of the leftover back.
  • ERC-721. Each contributor recovers the specific token IDs they deposited that are still unclaimed. Tokens claimed during the campaign are gone; the rest return to whoever deposited them.

Reclaim is permissionless for contributors: no creator approval is needed. It reads straight from the on-chain ledger, so no one can recover more than they put in. It is a one-time action per contributor; once a contributor reclaims, their ledger entry is cleared and the share is settled.

Reclaim closes the loop on a fair campaign. A creator can fund generously and set a wide window without fear of locking value in a dead Loot, and contributors who top up a campaign receive the same guarantee. Combined with on-chain escrow and verified claims, reclaim gives every token entering a Loot a defined, trustless path out: either to a qualified claimer or back to its contributor.
