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

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.

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

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

I was kidding ofc about excluding anyone who isn’t a Pro subscriber from engaging with me 😅 but I like your idea. Anything that brings people closer together is a win. For example, I share some things exclusively only with my family or “close friends” on Instagram. It’s a nice choice to have.
