Cheat Sheet — Caps & Limits

Every hard ceiling, spillover threshold, and revert-on-exceed condition in the game.

Chat reward

Cap	Value	What it bounds	Source
Per-message MAI	1 * 10^decimals of the QING asset	Reward per CHOA.Chat() call. Computed MAI is clamped if larger.	CHOA

Implication: there is no way to earn more than 1 venue-token from a single chat call, no matter how much you hold. Volume > whale. See Venues: Chat Mining.

Personal vs. world holdings (H2O & VITUS)

Both H2O and VITUS enforce the same two-tier overflow:

Cap	Value	Effect	Source
Personal max	Meridians[13]	If a player's balance would exceed this after a mint, overflow goes to the WORLD contract.	H2O, VITUS
WORLD max	Meridians[20]	If WORLD's balance would exceed this, the overflow burns.	H2O, VITUS

Implication: a player who never withdraws will eventually hit Meridians[13] and start unintentionally donating to WORLD; WORLD itself can later start burning. Planning when to withdraw is a real optimization. See Economic: Overflow Play.

Access / admission

Cap	Value	Effect	Source
CROWS VIP threshold	25 * 10^18	Holding ≥ 25 CROWS bypasses all other admission checks at any QING that hasn't set NoCROWS.	QING
BouncerDivisor share	Asset.balanceOf(x) ≥ Asset.totalSupply() / BouncerDivisor	Large-holder auto-bouncer gate. Divisor is per-QING, uint16.	QING
Guest-list slot	1 timestamp per UserToken	_list[UserToken] = block.timestamp + 1 days. Only the latest entry persists.	QING

See Venues: Cover-Charge Tuning, Venues: Guest-List Rotation.

Encryption / crypt queue

Cap	Value	Effect	Source
In-flight crypt count	uint64 index range (effectively unbounded in practice; capped by gas and Prune)	Exceeding triggers TooManyCrypts(max, count).	ENCRYPT
Chromosome minimum	Error ChromosomeLength	Keys below a minimum length revert. Exact length not numeric-constant; enforced via error.	ENCRYPT

Word-game / voting

Cap	Value	Effect	Source
Submissions per user per round	uint8 → max 255	Struct field overflow.	USERVOTE
Vote index per user	uint16 → max 65,535	Supports up to 65,535 distinct submissions per round.	USERVOTE
Round counter	uint16 → max 65,535	Round rollover would require 65,535 rounds. Not a live concern.	USERVOTE
Acronym string min length	3	MinimumLength3 revert.	STRINGLIB

See Meta: Word-Games Tactics.

Rate modifier floor

Cap	Value	Effect	Source
Rate-modifier floor	777	If Mod < 777, the rate denominator grows nonlinearly: Rate / ((777 − Mod) · 10^(decimals − 5)).	YUE

See Economic: Market Rates.

Range caps

Cap	Value	Effect	Source
Code range (Yeo)	Dynamic; output of META.Beat(QingWaat), further divided by Chao.	Latitude and Longitude must be within Yeo of QING's position; otherwise OutOfRange.	META, WORLD

See Territory: Proximity & Geometry.

Owner-only writes

Many contracts accept only onlyOwners or onlyBouncers callers. A summary of the bouncer cascade (most-to-least privileged):

1. _staff[cBouncer] == true → authorized.
2. NoCROWS == false && CROWS.balanceOf(cBouncer) ≥ 25 * 10^18 → authorized.
3. Asset.balanceOf(cBouncer) ≥ Asset.totalSupply() / BouncerDivisor → authorized.
4. Map.hasOwner(Asset) && Asset.owner(cBouncer) → authorized.
5. Otherwise → not a bouncer.

What does NOT have a hard cap

Avoid assuming these are bounded:

• CO2. Global uint256 accumulator in WAR. Only a practical bound via block gas + time.
• _taan[Caude][Position] (WAR's high-score map). Monotonically nondecreasing per (Caude, Position). Once someone rolls a huge Waat there, beating it gets harder, but there's no reset.
• Moments[Soul] in RING. Stores whatever last Iota was computed; there's no ring buffer, just an overwrite.

Quick reference

Hard cap?	Value	Tag
Per-message MAI	1 token	HARD
Personal H2O/VITUS	Meridians[13]	SOFT (overflows, doesn't revert)
WORLD H2O/VITUS	Meridians[20]	HARD (burns)
CROWS VIP gate	25 CROWS	HARD (gating logic)
Guest-list entry	1 day	HARD (timestamp)
ENCRYPT TTL	10 days	HARD (timestamp)
Submissions/round	255	HARD (uint8 saturation)
Rate-mod floor	777	SOFT (piecewise formula)
