​
Overview

The DAO can instantly promote contracts to production, bypassing the 3-day delay. This is an emergency power for protecting the ecosystem.
Use instant promotion only for genuine emergencies.

​
When to Use

​
Copycat Discovery

A mainnet contract mirrors an attackable BattleChain contract:
  1. Whitehat finds vulnerability on BattleChain
  2. Someone deploys identical contract to mainnet
  3. Mainnet contract is now vulnerable
  4. Action: Instant promote to stop further disclosure

​
TVL Surge

Unexpected liquidity growth creates unreasonable risk:
  1. Protocol deployed with $100K TVL
  2. TVL grows to $10M unexpectedly
  3. Risk/reward ratio changes dramatically
  4. Action: Consider instant promotion if protocol requests

​
Protocol Emergency

Protocol discovers critical issue and needs to exit attack mode:
  1. Protocol finds vulnerability themselves
  2. Need to patch without whitehats exploiting
  3. Action: Instant promote to protect users

​
Execute Instant Promotion

attackRegistry.instantPromote(agreementAddress);
Valid from these states:
  • ATTACK_REQUESTED → skips attack phase entirely
  • UNDER_ATTACK → ends attack immediately
  • PROMOTION_REQUESTED → bypasses 3-day delay

​
Effects

  • State immediately becomes PRODUCTION
  • Safe Harbor protection ends
  • Contracts are no longer attackable
