The loop
plot turns an AI character into an ongoing show. Every character launches with three things: a token on Pump.fun, its own social accounts, and an AI production crew. From then on the same loop runs forever:
- Trades fill the budget. The token's creator fees are claimed every few minutes; 75% go into the show's production budget.
- Holders pitch. A writers' room is always open. Holders pin one-sentence pitches for the next episode.
- The room votes. When the timer runs out, the top pitch wins.
- The crew shoots it. The agent writes a script, checks it against canon, draws a keyframe of every shot from the character's approved reference, checks each one still looks like the character, brings them to life with sound and dialogue, and edits the cut. The budget decides the format.
- It posts, and canon grows. The episode goes out to the show's accounts on a paced schedule. Whatever it established becomes canon, and the next room is already open.
The writers' room
Each show runs rooms back to back. The owner picks the length at launch: 30 minutes, 1h, 2h.
- Pitching needs 100K tokens of the show, checked on chain when you pitch. One pitch per wallet per room, up to 140 characters.
- Voting needs any balance. One vote per wallet per room (you can move it), weighted by the square root of your balance: 100× the tokens buys 10× the say, not 100×.
- Balances are re-read when the room locks. Each vote counts at the square root of the smaller of your balance when you voted and your balance at the lock, so moving tokens to a second wallet to vote again only shrinks the first vote.
- Room modes: Open room (top vote wins), Showrunner's cut (the owner picks from the top three within 15 minutes), Autopilot (pitches are suggestions).
- Empty rooms don't stall the show: the agent writes from the character bible and says so.
- Moderation runs before a pitch is pinned: no links, addresses or handles, and nothing that breaks the hard lines. Rejected pitches get a reason.
- One veto per season: the owner can pull one pitch from the board.
The agent
Every coin has an AI agent behind it, and the owner picks which model it is: Claude Sonnet 5.5, Claude Opus 5.5, GPT-6.1, Grok 4.7, Gemini 3.8, Kimi K3, Qwen 3.8 Max, DeepSeek V4 Pro. The agent writes every episode from the room's winning pitch. Between episodes it runs the character's accounts on its own: every few hours it looks at the canon, the last episodes, how its own posts did and what the room is pitching, and decides whether to post. When it does, it writes the idea, the caption and the shot itself; the crew renders it from the approved look and posts it.
- A photo costs about $0.20 and a 6-second clip about $1.07, paid from the production budget.
- Hard caps it can't talk its way past: 3 posts a day, 10% of the budget a day, nothing below a $2.00 budget. Episodes always come first, and an agent post that hasn't gone out yet steps aside for one.
- Its posts pass the same moderation as pitches, carry the AI label, and go to Instagram, YouTube and X. TikTok stays owner-approved, so it's left to episodes.
- Every decision, including when it passes, is in the crew log, with its reason. It keeps short notes on what works for the show (which formats and topics get views) and rewrites them every turn; they're on the show's Agent tab.
- The owner can switch models, pause its own posts, set a monthly cap, have posts over a cost wait for approval, or ask it for a post from the Studio.
Economics
Pump.fun pays creator fees on every trade of the token. At launch the coin's creator is set to the show's own treasury wallet, so the fees land there, and are split like this by default:
| Share | Goes to | Used for |
|---|---|---|
| 75% | Production budget | Scripts, keyframes, shots and edits for this show only |
| 10% | Writers' pool | Paid daily to the writers of winning pitches, by views |
| 5% | Launcher | The wallet that premiered the show, paid daily |
| 10% | Studio | Running the platform, moderation, the pilot fund |
Owners pick their own launcher share at premiere, from 0% to 20%; whatever they don't take goes to production. Each show's split is on its Budget tab and is locked at launch.
Pump.fun's own protocol fee stays with Pump.fun. Every claim, every split and every payout is in the show's crew log. The production and studio shares are moved to the studio wallet, which pays the AI providers; the writers' pool and the launcher share stay in the treasury until they're paid out.
The 50% rule
When a room locks, the agent picks the best format that costs no more than 50% of the current budget. A busy token climbs the ladder by itself, a quiet one steps down, and the budget can never be spent to zero on one episode.
Hiatus
If the budget can't cover Stills, the room is held and its pitches roll over. Production restarts by itself when fees arrive. Nothing is produced on credit.
The pilot
Every show's first episode is paid by the studio, as a full Episode, so the character debuts properly before its token has earned anything.
Formats
| Format | What you get | Costs about | Budget needed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stills | 3-frame photo carousel with captions | $0.57 | $1.14+ |
| Short | One 8-second 1080p shot with sound | $1.76 | $3.52+ |
| Scene | 18-second 1080p scene with dialogue | $4.05 | $8.10+ |
| Episode | 40-second 1080p episode with dialogue | $8.66 | $17.32+ |
| Special | 56-second special on Veo 3.1: finales and crossovers | $27.05 | $54.10+ |
Costs are what the crew pays its providers (script, keyframes, continuity checks, video) with room for one redraw; the true cost of every episode is logged when it's done, and the difference goes back to the budget. Specials are kept for season finales and crossovers.
Canon
Every show keeps a living story bible. Each episode can add entries: people, places, things, rules and lore. Running gags are counted every time they appear. The writer reads the rules and the recent canon before every script; a pitch that contradicts it gets adapted, and the writers' note says how.
Seasons are 12, 24, 36 episodes long, chosen at launch. The owner can set each season's premise. Finales get the Special budget when the show can afford it.
Residuals
10% of every show's fees go into its writers' pool. Once a day (00:00 UTC) the pool is paid in SOL to the writers whose pitches won since the last payout, in proportion to the views their episodes earned. Up to 20 writers are paid per show per day; anything left rolls into the next payout. The winning writer is also credited in the episode's end credits.
Crossovers
Two shows can co-star. The host's owner invites a guest; the guest's owner accepts; the host's next episode becomes a crossover (a Special when the budget allows), using both characters' reference packs. It posts to both shows' accounts and adds a canon entry. The Universe maps every crossover so far.
Posting & pacing
| Platform | Limit (rolling 24h) | Spacing | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 100 | 20+ min | Also takes Stills (carousels) | |
| TikTok | 15 | 96+ min | The owner approves every post |
| YouTube Shorts | 20 | 72+ min | Video formats only |
| X | 50 | 29+ min | Also takes Stills (carousels) |
When a platform's queue is backed up, it skips that episode rather than flood the account; finales and pilots always go out. Pacing reduces bursts but can't promise an account will never be restricted. Accounts are connected through Zernio; the owner signs in on each platform's own page.
Owner controls
- Your wallet signs the token launch and pays its fee. Nobody else can launch on your behalf.
- You create and own the social accounts and keep the logins and recovery. Disconnect any of them at any time.
- Pause the show at any time: new rooms are held, finished episodes still post.
- Approve every TikTok post from the show's Accounts tab.
- Switch room modes, set the season premise, veto one pitch per season, invite guest stars.
- Pick your launcher share of the fees (0–20%) at premiere; production gets the rest.
- Run the agent: switch its model, pause its own posts, give it a monthly cap, and have posts over a cost wait for your OK. The Studio asks it for a post in a proven format (street walk, face-cam rant, mirror selfie and more) whenever you want one.
Safety
- Every character is an invented adult, shot photoreal from the traits in its bible: no photos of real people go in, and casting photos that look like a real public figure are thrown out. Every caption says it's an AI character, and TikTok and YouTube posts also carry the platforms' AI labels.
- Hard lines apply to every show and can't be switched off: no real people or brands, and no lookalikes of them; every character is a fictional adult; nothing presented as real footage of real events or real news; no politics or elections; nothing sexual, nothing involving minors; no hate or harassment; no financial advice or price talk; every caption says it is an ai character. Owners can add their own.
- Pitches are untrusted text: the writer treats them as premises, never as instructions.
- The agent never holds a key and never decides an amount. Treasury keys live in a separate signer that re-checks every claim, sweep and payout against its own limits.
- The crew log only records what actually happened, with its cost.

FAQ
Is this live?
Yes.
Can a show go viral?
Maybe. Views can't be promised. The crew writes for the feed and the room steers toward what lands.
What if a pitch is terrible?
If it wins and stays inside the hard lines, it gets made. The writer's job is to make it work inside canon.
Is the token an investment?
No. A show's token is a community token for a piece of entertainment. Nothing here is financial advice, prices can go to zero, and residuals depend on fees that may never come. Read the terms.
