This Translator Agreement (the "Agreement") is entered into by and between:

• Party A (Translator): a user registered on the Platform who has obtained translator status; and
• Party B (Platform): World Chain Novel, the entity operating the online novel platform.

WHEREAS, Party A wishes to provide translation services for works on the Platform, and Party B is willing to provide the Platform and related revenue mechanisms. NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

Article 1 — Definitions

1.1 Translation means the translated content submitted by Party A to the Platform, including but not limited to chapter translations of works on the Platform.

1.2 AI Translation means translated content automatically generated by Party B using artificial intelligence technology.

1.3 Revenue means the points paid by readers to unlock human translations, and related vote settlement proceeds.

1.4 Translator Points means the translator points earned by Party A according to the Platform's points rules.

2.1 Application Requirements: Party A must meet the following conditions to become a translator:

(a) Reader Level Lv.6 or above;

(b) Not previously had translator status revoked (if applicable);

(c) Agree to all terms of this Agreement.

2.2 Revocation of Status: Party B may revoke Party A's translator status if Party A violates this Agreement or Platform rules. Upon revocation, Party A's submitted translations will remain on the Platform, but Party A will no longer be entitled to revenue sharing.

Article 3 — Translation Submission and Review

3.1 Submission Rules: Party A shall comply with the following rules when submitting translations:

(a) Only one translation per language per chapter may be submitted;

(b) The maximum number of translations per language per chapter is ten (10);

(c) Party A must first unlock the chapter for reading before submitting a translation.

(b) Contain any prohibited content as set forth in Article 7;

(c) Use machine translation to pass off as human translation (Party A must make substantive human revisions).

3.3 Review and Removal: Party B reserves the right to review translation content. If a translation is determined to be in violation, Party B may remove it and impose penalties under Article 5.4.

Article 4 — Revenue Mechanism

4.1 Revenue Source: Party A's revenue comes from the points paid by readers to unlock human translations. Such points are allocated to the translator whose translation receives the reader's vote upon settlement.

4.2 Revenue Distribution: At the current stage, all translation unlock fees paid by readers go to the translator who receives the vote. This revenue distribution ratio is an early-stage benefit, and Party B reserves the right to adjust it in the future, provided that Party A is notified in advance.

4.3 Settlement Method: Revenue is calculated in points and credited to Party A's translator wallet upon vote settlement. Points may be converted to USD (at the exchange rate published by the Platform) and withdrawn according to the Platform's withdrawal rules.

4.4 Translator Points: Party A may earn translator points by submitting translations and receiving reader votes. Points rules are separately published by the Platform, and Party B reserves the right to adjust such rules.

5.1 Rewards:

(a) Submitting a translation: +50 translator points;

(b) Translation receiving a reader vote (after settlement): +10 translator points;

(c) Top 3 translations upon work completion: +2000 / +1000 / +500 translator points.

5.2 Minor Violations: If a translation is inaccurate or of low quality, Party B may remove it and deduct translator points.

5.3 Serious Violations: If a translation contains prohibited content under Article 7, Party B may remove it, deduct translator points, suspend or revoke translator status.

5.4 Violation Record: Party A's violation record will be kept on the Platform. Party B reserves the right to determine the severity of penalties based on the circumstances, including but not limited to revoking translator status with no right to reapply.
