FAQ

Do I spend or stake $AUTEUR when I curate?

No. There is no staking action and a recast does not spend tokens. Your eligible balance defines the total curation power available to spread across your selections for the epoch.

Is there a minimum holding requirement?

The current protocol rule requires a positive eligible $AUTEUR balance. There is no higher minimum threshold configured at the protocol level.

Why does making more recasts reduce power per pick?

Your epoch power is fixed by the balance snapshot. Every additional selection divides that same power into another piece. This makes selectivity part of the game.

Are likes or quote casts counted?

No. The current live signal is a plain Farcaster recast. Likes are ignored, and quote-cast curation is disabled.

What happens if I delete a recast?

The recorded selection currently remains in the epoch ledger. Deletion does not restore power to the curator's other selections.

Can an author earn without using Auteur?

Yes. An eligible cast can be discovered and funded before the author has opened Auteur. The author can open the mini app later to see and claim rewards credited to an affiliated wallet.

Does being first guarantee an early-discovery bonus?

No. Entry discovery requires both low curator power before your selection and meaningful confirming power after it. Being first and alone produces little or no advantage.

Do discovery bonuses create extra emissions?

They do not create additional emissions. Discovery mechanics only redistribute rewards within the fixed epoch ceiling.

Why can my own profile show more earned than the leaderboard?

Your private profile can show total rewards earned as both an author and a curator. The curator leaderboard shows only lifetime curator rewards from settled epochs.

Can the same cast be funded twice?

No. Once a cast has been funded in a settled epoch, its hash is excluded from future funding.

When can I claim?

As soon as a settlement credits your Ethereum address. Claimable rewards accumulate until that address calls the vault's claim() method.

Why do I need ETH to claim?

Claiming is an Ethereum Mainnet transaction. The receiving wallet needs enough ETH to pay network gas.

Can the operator withdraw my claimable rewards?

The vault's surplus withdrawal is limited to tokens above outstanding claim liabilities. Tokens already backing credited claims are not available as surplus.
