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.

I appreciate this level-headed, no-nonsense approach to the launch of Farcaster Pro. 

I won't be opting in for a paid subscription for personal reasons, but I support the way these business decisions are being made with an eye toward 

1) sustainable revenue for the protocol, and
2) supporting creators and devs.

🤝 I really want to see the purple app succeed. But for now, the best way for me to help that happen is through the written word.
