Channel boost and the channel vault

A boost raises the channel's level. A higher level lets that channel accept more crew members, create more titles, and list more emotes. Who boosted is shown in the booster list on the channel home.

• One boost = 1,000P and lasts 30 days
• You can add up to 50 boosts at once
• The level is derived from the sum of boosts that are still active, every time it is read

Boost points used to be burned. They now go into the channel vault, and the channel owner pays them out to crew members and contributors. What a booster spends comes back to the people who are active in that channel.

Vault points are never refunded to the booster. This is spending on a channel, not a deposit you can withdraw.

• A channel can pay out up to 150,000P per day
• A single payout is capped at 1,000,000P, with a reason of up to 40 characters
• The vault earns interest. Operations set the rate, and it rises when stock trading is busy

Levels keep going above Lv3: one more level per 25,000P, with 10 more crew seats each level. Title slots grow by one every two levels up to 12, and emote slots by 50 per level up to 500.

• Solid title colors unlock at Lv1
• Gradients unlock at Lv2
• Frames and shine effects unlock at Lv3

A channel that runs a songbook can switch on request perks for boosters. When it is on, boosters can keep more requests in the queue at once and wait less between requests. Whether it is on, and by how much, is up to the channel owner.

A boost expires after 30 days and drops out of the active sum. Falling below a level threshold does not remove the perks right away.

Perks stay for 72 hours after the threshold was last met. Boost again within that window and the level carries on unbroken.
