fc-updates

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

would you pay $120 a year to use farcaster? 

personally there would need to be more incentive - schedule tweets, better reach, animated pfp, free storage etc

Founders

Keep close tabs on the founders that realize the next level of all this is not actually selling to existing crypto people but instead going to find new paying customers who could care less about crypto.

Really forces you out of your comfort zone and frankly it absolutely sucks.

Constantly being told no and generally making little to no money.

But the only way out is through and these are the conversations that are opening doors for everyone here to eat.

make jules, codex, copilot fight in PRs would be fun.

taking spanish in school was one of the better decisions i made in hindsight

As someone who uses FC primarily on desktop this is very annoying to me.

I know this is in the works and I also know I'm the anomoly but posting in the hopes it gets updated soon!
