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

What do you all think would make the pro subscription more fun?

Different badges, exclusive NFT mints, special offers?  What else?  

The more fun or wacky, the better

If they made gif pfps for pro, it would sell like hot cakes 😂. You said different so here are mine:

- Support for organizations/guilds via Icebreaker or Hats.
- Mood status or what I’m listening to music integration
- More ephemeral content like stories, message board
- Special offers to web3 tools (tax software etc)

Great ideas!

Love the idea of a deeper music integration (I'd like better embeds for spotify links for example)

Ephemeral content like stories could be cool too
