We’re planning to launch a new, optional “Pro” protocol subscription 1. At launch, subscribers will have a Pro badge on their profile 2. Subscription will be onchain and part of the protocol. 100% of the proceeds go to casters / developers in weekly rewards. This in addition to the existing $25K+ a week in rewards. 3. Planning to add longer casts (10K characters) and up to 4 images per cast for pro subscribers (needs a protocol change). Additional features over time. 4. $120 a year / $10 a month  Why are we doing this? - The protocol needs to find long-term revenue source that can continue fund caster and developer rewards beyond any one company.   - We originally thought storage fees could be that, but we’ve realized that storage fees should be essentialy free to help growth.  - So we’re trying an opt-in pro subscription as another model Why now? - Figuring out a long-term revenue model that works will allow us to double down on investing in growth

I got @dawufi to join Opacity when we only had a good story and a couple founders with gumption. Which of us is the crazy one?

Excited to be opening applications for the Berlin Hacker Village 🇩🇪 June 13 - June 20 2025 Most importantly, this is an opportunity to get in on the ground floor of our new mini-accerator program. For developers and teams building real companies, real value, real revenue, and that want to be supported over the long term, this is for you. Verifiable apps are here and will continue to accelerate now that we have the primitives, tooling, and infrastructure available today to more easily experiment and ship new ideas. It doesn't matter what network you're building on, your product can be enhanced with features only unlocked by verifiable off-chain compute. Come build with us, we'll be having a lot of fun along the way. https://x.com/eigenlayer/status/1918724074198777995?s=46

I agree that the industry is full of perverse incentives, fraud, and hubris, but disagree in that most developers just want to build high quality applications that create value, and the best ones don't care about the primitives they're using, they just want to build great apps. and to build great apps you have to be able to build sophisticated business logic and implementation details that just aren't possible within blockchain vms most, maybe all, of the zkTLS apps - the users don't know or care they are using crypto rails, and the developers seem to be overwhelmingly more likely to be just regular software engineers and those apps are already generating revenue, topping the app store, etc.. this isn't theoritical, it's literally facts. zkTLS is just one example of one vertical, there are dozens of others that will be unlocked when you can leverage a normal programming environment

it’s not the lack of infrastructure, it’s the type of infrastructure being built. my point is that everyone is trying to build apps for the last 10 years using the same constraints, and companies keep building slightly different networks, using the exact same constraints, expecting something different. But there is new infrastructure that removes all of those constraints, and it’s just going to change everything. This isn’t just an EigenLayer shill, there are other products taking this or a similar approach as well. The reason we only have 50 services with apps live on manner, and are only approaching around $250 million in revenue for those apps and services is because the barrier to build is still pretty high. In one year it should be around 100X easier, and those numbers will be much higher. https://x.com/dabit3/status/1893037463116906607?s=46

also, I never mentioned the word infrastructure even once. There’s a distinct difference between a blockchain virtual machine and a web server.

we have a lot of apps already, including top apps on the app store, app founders like the founders of Reddit building with us, and real revenue (approaching $250M and it's not from ponzis or token launchpads), and the ecosystme is incredibly young and the DX isn't great yet (it will get 100x better by end of year) even with that, the main reason why we have grown so much at EigenLayer in terms of developers (fastest growing ecosystem in the world in 2024) is that they can just do whatever they want, build whatever they want, and don't have to deal with the restrictions of all of these blockchain vms.
