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.

Also, I guess you can subscribe at any time, but after the first 10k subscribers, you will not get the NFT, right?

1. Just your Farcaster wallet (formerly warplet)

2. Not to start -- will be onchain / on the protocol in a couple weeks

1. Can we pay from any connected wallet or only from the Warplet?

2. Can developers pull our “pro” badge easily (if they wanted to drop tokens or NFTs to everyone with a pro subscription?

The first 10,000 subscriptions are eligible for a NFT. So if it doesn't sell out tomorrow, then yes.

If someone isn’t able to subscribe tomorrow, will there still be a chance to subscribe later and receive the NFT?

But how will we identify that 10K subscribed or not?

Final reminder on Farcaster Pro

1. Launch is after 1pm Pacific today. Exact time TBD. May be up to 60 minutes later.

2. In-app notification (will be staggered, not everyone receives at the same time) and a banner on your profile. One subscription per FID.

3. Mobile app only. Web will not work. You cannot register outside the mobile app. You must have an FID.

4. Pay with $120 in USDC in your in-app wallet. Or 12,000 warps. One or the other. No combinations. No refunds.

5. Do not subscribe if you aren't excited about it. It's optional. No benefit to reach, visibility or rewards.

6. 10,000 NFTs. All the same. No other benefit. On Base. A small change for NFT nerds: we're still evaluating if 721 or 1155. If you're not happy about this, don't subscribe.

What's your predicted number of subscribers in the first hour?

Kudos to Farcaster for keeping Pro truly optional and not turning it into a pay-for-play scheme. Giving every dollar of the subscription back to creators and devs is a class act and shows Farcaster really cares about the community. Proud to be part of this movement!

huh. if I’m gonna be on here I may as well be a mf pro

what asset will the pro subscription be purchasable in?

e.g USDC or ETH

thank so much @reeeny. 

love the ideas in here. 

that the $3 could 
be viewed as an 
external permission 
slip. esp for folks who 
need a reason to hit “cast.”

$3 felt fun for me too
$25 felt weirdly 
professionally 
validating tbh. 
like it became it real. 
something i could do
for a living 🤦🏻‍♂️

and then came the drop
and loss aversion 
kicked in hard. 

why did it 
matter so much?

I’d love to have more 
debates like this!

not just dunking, 
moging or cheerleading—

trying out ideas. 
testing them. 
anecdotalytics 
then analytics. 

that’s how we get 
better community governance. 
not just votes, 
but debates that inform the vote.

so thank you @reeeny for this. 
let’s keep the castversation going!! 

maybe we should start a platform debate channel? because i think they’re getting the pro model supremely wrong.

but, ultimately, @dwr.eth and @v  decide
and we abide or
vote with our thumbs….

imo that’s not seeing a good foundation
for decentralized governance 

@walkntalk

cool, makes sense 
and excited about it! 
setting my notifications 
and loaded up my USDC

but pleas see the castversation  
i’ve been having with @reeeny 
re different reward experiments

i respect the decision 
re no reach for pro tier

but i do think we need a better
foundation in debate and discourse
if we are ultimately going to
move to decentralized 
governance
