# Veto a creator payout

> Block the creator's cut and send it to buyback and burn.

On coins with veto turned on, the creator's share of fees is held in escrow in 24-hour windows. Holders can sign against it. If enough of the supply signs before the window closes, the escrow is burned instead of paid out.

## How to veto

![The veto panel: escrow, votes so far and time left](https://mintcdn.com/veto/-mR7RNFFL3_0pzXw/images/coin-veto.webp?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=-mR7RNFFL3_0pzXw\&q=85\&s=e9b1107bb55270bfac1ffc5590531aca)

**1. Open the coin**

Coins with veto on show a **Veto the creator cut** panel on their page, with the escrow amount, votes so far and time left.

**2. Sign**

Select **Sign a veto** and approve the message in your wallet. It's a signature, not a transaction: it costs nothing and moves no funds.

**3. Keep holding**

Your vote counts with your balance **when the window closes**, not when you signed. Sell before then and your vote counts for less, or nothing.

## What you sign

```text theme={null}
veto.fun

I veto the creator payout of <coin address> for epoch <n>.
```

The epoch is the number of the current 24-hour window, starting at 0 when the coin launched. A signature only counts for the window it names.

## Rules

* You need at least the coin's minimum holding to sign.
* One vote per wallet per window. Signing again updates your vote.
* When the window closes, votes are added up by current balance. The threshold is a share of supply held by regular wallets, not counting the bonding curve, the pool, the fee vault or excluded wallets.
* If the total reaches the coin's threshold, the whole escrow for that window goes to [buyback and burn](https://docs.veto.fun/features/buyback.md). Otherwise it's paid to the creator.
* Each new window starts from zero votes.

> [!TIP]
>
> Share the coin page when you veto. A veto only works if holders coordinate within the window.
