Honestly, I thought the Pro badge was meant for the first 10k top users!

But now it’s clear that every account tier has it. So there’s really no difference between a high-level user and a low-level one. :)

This is a good idea but I don't think it's in the focus and plans of the FC team for now.

But it could be implemented as a test badge via mini-app before going global.

Bookmarked!

Yeaaah,,, exactly 👌🏻

Badges should be exclusive to high-quality accounts based on open rank. That’s when a badge actually holds value.  

I’ve got an idea: what if they give a special badge (like a golden checkmark on Twitter or something) to top accounts, say those ranked under 1k? It’d be way more fair and appealing that way.  

(Purple badges can be purchased by anyone for access to extra features, and exclusive badges should only be given to top accounts.)

Totally get your point, and I agree that paying for access and holding an NFT can serve as an initial signal of more committed users. But I think paying $120 doesn’t necessarily reflect credibility or content quality — just willingness to spend. Financial signals can’t replace social or content-based signals. This model risks turning the platform into a pay-to-play environment, rather than an open, participatory space. We’ve seen with Twitter Blue how pay-for-verification can quickly erode user trust. Tools like NFTs or badges can be helpful, but only when combined with real systems for reputation, contribution, and content quality.
Overall, the ideas are interesting and I’m curious to see how it develops, but I do think there’s still work to be done to balance accessibility with meaningful filtering. 🙇🏻‍♂️

It tells you who has $120 to put into a discretionary spent, and the 10k NFTs tell you who's paying attention and did it quickly. Definitely let's you find/discover an active/vetted user group.

Will be useful for people who are wanting to potentially interact with a more higher signal group that is less likely to be bots & farmers

Will definitely be curious to see how it plays out

The longer form content & 4 pictures per post could also be interesting. Curious if they're goign to be all lumped at the end (probably) or able to be put in between text (unlikely lol)

It is a simple trick to those who think they can look smarter or professional or whatever just by buying a badge. Let them be happy and we regain our money someone said :)

It’s really just a badge for all level users that can afford it

It's a level playing field. Let's roll 💪

Maybe the NFT you receive will be valuable and make a difference.

It's like the Twitter Premium subscription. Still interesting cause then we know Pro users are probably high-value users

10k pro users get the NFT, this is a difference 👀

The NFT is for the first 10k users, not the Badge.
