Latest on Farcaster Pro

1. Launches tomorrow Tuesday May 27 after 1pm Pacific. In-app notification.

2. First 10,000 subscribers will receive an NFT at a later date. It's the same NFT for everyone. One subscription per FID. You must use the Farcaster mobile app to subscribe. USDC or warps—one or the other, no combinations.

3. There are no other benefits to the NFT; it's a benefit of Farcaster Pro. If you end up buying an NFT on the secondary market, there's no secret benefit.

4. If you have any hesitations about Farcaster Pro — $120 annually, only Day 1 feature is a badge and NFT—then *do not* subscribe. There are no refunds. We'd like to add 10K character casts and up to 4 images in the near future, but you should only subscribe tomorrow if you're excited about it.

5. It's one price globally. The goal here is to maximize revenue for the protocol—and 100% of revenue will go to creator and developer rewards.

6. It's optional. No benefit to reach, visibility or rewards. You don't have to subscribe.

Why ship Farcaster Pro with just a badge? Why not wait until the other benefits are ready?

1. It’s optional. If you think that’s dumb, you can either wait to subscribe or just skip subscribing completely. 

2. For startups, every day you delay something matters. Every time you say “this thing is different and worth delaying” you degrade your one true advantage as a startup: speed. It compounds. And then a few years later when it ultimately doesn’t work out, you likely missed out on something like 100% more opportunities to ship. Action produces information. Your pre-product-market-fit startup is not Apple.

Additional info on on Farcaster Pro launch

1. Tuesday May 27 at 1pm Pacific (no earlier, may be a little later)

2. We will have an in-app banner and in-app notification. No push notification. Notifications won’t all happen at the same time. There are 10,000 NFTs, you’ll be fine. :)

3. One $120 subscription per FID. Remember, it’s a subscription that gives you an NFT as one of the benefits, not an NFT that gives you a subscription. No multi year buys. 

4. The NFT is from a Farcaster-native artist to be revealed soon! It’s the same NFT for all 10,000, i.e. this is not a pfp type project. NFT will not be immediately available, will be airdropped later.

5. You either pay entirely in 120 USDC or 12,000 warps. We’re only using warps to help people have a reason to spend existing balances. We’re still slowly moving away from using warps.

6. It’s an optional subscription. If you don’t like it, don’t subscribe. It has no impact on your reach, visibility or rewards.
