Good Morning Base Friends And Happy Wednesday 💙🌥

Music

Had a convo with some friends this weekend and it got me thinking...

What are your all-time no-skips albums?

The ones you throw on and just let ride because every track hits.

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

PSA

We’re a US-based company. 

We have to follow financial regulations. 

This means 1) there are certain countries we cannot provide financial services to and 2) >$600 a year requires everyone to complete a W8 / W9 if they want to continue to receive payments from us.

If you would prefer not to provide that, that’s OK. But we can’t pay you.

i am routinely surprised by how much energy some people invest in commenting on other people’s lives compared to how much energy they invest in their own

you have one life, just live it
