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

Working on Farcaster and Warpcast. Longer thoughts at https://dwr.email

I love it. Please make it onchain composable. I would love it if a third party (aka me) could handle Pro registration on behalf of users

if you want to do something onchain related to Farcaster Pro subscribers, what is it? thinking about design, it's useful to understand composability use cases.

Guess I have no choice but to watch for $120 transfers to the recipient.

Or... how about a simple web2 endpoint? You will already have it, just make it public

Plz help a brother out

Onchain startups. Farcaster app store (@farstore) and tips (@tipn)

For growth hack, i can monitor $120 usdc transfers to the recipient address. A simple GET API would help a lot though. Nothing needs to be explicitly onchain for me to collab.

Long term being able to check the contract for subscription status is preferred over monitoring events and will def unlock more use cases

We're working separately on a payment contract for the long term but want to launch this on Tuesday. It won't be like this forever. We'll backfill any existing subscriptions into that contract.

Do you think you need the subscription state onchain or just want to watch events?

would want to surface this in @ampsfun as a filter

Founder /cryptosapiens, Onchain Creator House architect. Pushing creator ownership forward—media, value, and community onchain.

was just talking to @stevedv.eth about a "close friends" or google plus circles experience for farcaster

I’d like it so only Farcaster Pro users can like, recast and comment on my casts

💜🙌

Payments in generate tokens did Instant rebates or if held accrues loyalty bonus.

Cheap trick #1: tie token issuance to registration. Incentivize pro registrations

Farguesser tournament winner gets a pro subscription lol

Onchain badges. Tie to rep eg follower milestones, channel streak milestones

Content gating - but more than just a paywall

I'd love to get https://taco.build/ integrated for Pro users

More on the rewards side, I think a portion of user’s rewards should be proportionally distributed to the clients they casted from. The clients that the reactions come from could also be taken into account
