# Creator Contracts Overview

## General Contract Details

### Creator Sovereignty

All Creator Contracts are owned by the creator. Full stop. There is no other option.

### Proxy Pattern

TL Creator Contracts are [ERC-1167](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-1167) immutable proxies in order to allow for cheap deployment costs, customization, and transparency. After deployment, the contract logic is not upgradeable and if any new implementation contracts are released, creators must deploy a new contract. 

For more background on proxy patterns in, checkout this [great article](https://blog.openzeppelin.com/proxy-patterns/) from OpenZeppelin.

For how to deploy our contracts, read more [here](/integrations/deploying-tl-contracts.md).

### Security

All Transient Labs contracts inherit either from code we have written, or the battle-tested and audited [OpenZeppelin](https://openzeppelin.com/) contracts. We take security very seriously and utilize fuzz testing with a minimum of 10,000 runs prior to any release.

## Source Code

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.transientlabs.xyz/tl-creator-contracts/creator-contracts-overview.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
