Rules规则
Every number Castpad judges by. Each pilot records the rules version it started under (castpad-rules/1), so a show is always judged by the rules that were public when its pilot began.Castpad 判定所用的每个数字。每次试播都记录开始时的规则版本（castpad-rules/1），所以连载永远按它试播开始时公开的规则判定。
The debut bar出道门槛
| AI characters (clips)AI 角色（短视频） | AI singers (single + MV)AI 歌手（单曲 + MV） | |
|---|---|---|
| Plays on audition posts考核作品播放 | 50,000 | 30,000 |
| New followers新增粉丝 | 1,000 | 500 |
| Engagement (likes, reposts, replies, quotes ÷ views)互动率（点赞+转发+回复+引用 ÷ 播放） | 3% | 3% |
| Posts inside the window窗口内发帖数 | 5 | 2 |
A pilot runs exactly 72 hours. Castpad reads X every 6 hours and once more within 3 hours after the end. Every post the character makes inside the window counts, found automatically. Up to 3 attempts.试播正好 72 小时。Castpad 每 6 小时读一次 X，结束后 3 小时内再读最后一次。角色在窗口内发的每条帖都会被自动发现并计入。最多试 3 次。
Fraud signals刷量迹象
None of these fails a pilot by itself. Any of them sends a passing pilot to a closer human look.单独任何一条都不会直接判失败，但会让过线的试播接受更仔细的人工复核。
- Engagement above 25% of views.互动率高于 25%。
- More than one new follower per 20 views.每 20 次播放带来超过 1 个新粉。
- One six-hour window carrying more than 70% of all views.某一个 6 小时窗口贡献超过 70% 的播放。
- Followers falling more than 5% between two reads.两次读取之间粉丝下降超过 5%。
- Likes exceeding views on a post.某条帖的点赞多于播放。
After the debut出道之后
- A cleared artist debuts without a token. Releases are tagged: single, music video, clip, drama, variety or live show. Fans back each release and buy live-show tickets directly in USDC.过线的艺人不发币直接出道。作品标注类型：单曲、MV、短视频、短剧、综艺或直播演出。粉丝用 USDC 直接应援作品、购买演唱会门票。
- An episode is due every cadence period. With no episode for twice that long, the show goes dark. Posting an episode brings it back.按设定节奏更新。超过两倍周期没有新一集，就断更；发一集即恢复。
- Dark for 14 days: other directors may apply for 4 days, then viewers vote for 3 days. Nobody applies or votes: cancelled, and the record stays.断更 14 天：其他导演有 4 天申请，再由观众投票 3 天。没人申请或投票：被砍，记录保留。
- Plot votes run 6 hours to 7 days, with 2–4 options, sealed until the close.剧情投票持续 6 小时到 7 天，2–4 个选项，截止前封存。
Tokens, only if earned代币：有热度再发
- Announced 24 hours to 14 days ahead. The time is sealed.提前 24 小时到 14 天公布，时间会封存。
- The director launches on pump.fun and puts the mint address in the character's X bio; Castpad checks the bio before registering it.导演自己在 pump.fun 发币，并把合约地址写进角色的 X 简介；Castpad 核对简介后才登记。
- Director buy at most 2% of supply, locked at least 30 days.导演买入最多 2%，至少锁 30 天。
- Suggested creator-fee split: 45% production wallet, 30% director, 25% platform.建议的创作者手续费分配：制作钱包 45%、导演 30%、平台 25%。

12 ways to break it12 种搞垮它的办法
And what is left after each answer. We would rather list what we cannot stop than claim we can stop everything.以及每个答案之后还剩下什么。我们宁可列出挡不住的部分，也不说自己什么都能挡。
Views, new followers and engagement are judged together, follower quality is checked, a pilot slot costs money, and every passing pilot gets a human read in Season 1.三项一起看、查新粉质量、试播收费，第一季每个过线的试播都人工复核。
What remains: Sophisticated fakes are possible; the cost makes them unprofitable.还剩下：高级刷量仍可能，但成本让它不划算。
Director buy capped at 2% of supply, locked 30 days. Their income is fan support and fees, so dumping cuts their own pay.导演买入不超过 2%，锁 30 天。收入来自粉丝支持和手续费，砸盘等于砸自己的饭碗。
What remains: They can sell after the lock; the page shows it.还剩下：锁仓结束后仍可卖，页面会显示。
Launches are announced 24 hours to 14 days ahead, so everyone starts at the same time.发币提前 24 小时到 14 天公布，人人同一起跑线。
What remains: pump.fun cannot cap buys; we can only make it public.还剩下：pump.fun 上无法限购，只能公开。
Fan support goes straight to the show's own wallet; every payment is a receipt on its tape.粉丝的钱直接进连载自己的钱包，每笔付款都是收据。
What remains: What a director spends is their call; their record is public.还剩下：钱怎么花由导演决定，但记录公开。
After 14 days dark, other directors apply with a pitch and viewers vote who takes over.断更 14 天后，其他导演带方案申请，观众投票选谁接手。
What remains: A new director may be worse.还剩下：新导演可能不如原导演。
A token counts only if its address is in the character's own X bio. Tickers are unique on Castpad.只认写在角色本人 X 简介里的合约。代号在 Castpad 唯一。
What remains: Copies still launch elsewhere; we make the real one easy to spot.还剩下：站外照样有人发，我们只能让真的好认。
Ballots are sealed until the close. Plot votes: one per X account. Holder votes: weight from a snapshot taken when the vote opens, capped at 5% per wallet.投票截止前封存。剧情投票一个 X 账号一票；持币投票按开票时的快照计权重，单钱包上限 5%。
What remains: Many accounts or wallets still help; caps raise the cost.还剩下：多账号仍有用，但上限让成本变高。
The weekly chart counts views and new followers from receipts. Trading volume does not count.收视榜只看收据里的播放和新粉，不看交易量。
What remains: Same as faking the pilot.还剩下：同“刷试播数据”。
Every number is a receipt in a public hash chain; your browser replays it. The database refuses edits to receipts.每个数字都是公开哈希链里的收据，浏览器可以重放；数据库拒绝修改收据。
What remains: Nothing.还剩下：无。
Greenlight refuses names of real companies, models, people and other creators' characters; reviewers reject the rest. Characters must be labelled as AI.立项时拒绝真实公司、模型、人物和别人角色的名字，其余由复核员把关。角色必须标注为 AI。
What remains: Platform rules change.还剩下：平台规则会变。
Season 1 is by invitation, with a small number of directors and a production grant.第一季邀请制，少量导演，提供制作补贴。
What remains: Depends on who joins.还剩下：取决于来的人。
Weekly premieres and a weekly chart give a rhythm that makes its own news. Every show has a thesis, which is what big accounts share.每周首映和每周收视榜形成固定节奏，自己制造新闻。每个连载都有观点，大号转的就是观点。
What remains: Hits still need luck.还剩下：爆款仍然要靠运气。
Views shown as compact numbers elsewhere (e.g. 51K) are always exact in the receipts.其他页面的简写数字（如 51K）在收据里都是精确值。
