Farcaster Pro initial 10K list A reminder this will be onchain and in the protocol in a couple weeks. But for now, here's the official list of 10,000 FIDs, in order of when they subscribed, that qualified for the NFT. Should be helpful for anyone who wants to do data analysis. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1hi8BnReWA9iIiuOcyQbzdRxKbRY0tNYuNdE2JgH4s3o/edit?gid=129247491#gid=129247491

What makes a good feature for a protocol-level subscription? 1. Features are enforced across clients — Snapchain, onchain contracts, protocol fname and DC servers, etc. 2. Any app-level feature will create incentive for other clients to offer as a top of funnel "our client gives you this for FREE!". This is consumer surplus. 3. Ultimately, protocol-based social networks should generate a lot of consumer surplus in terms of what's available in the standard UX for most clients. 4. Conversely, it's tricky to add features that are 1) valuable 2) can be enforced at the protocol-level. 5. An additional wrinkle is even clients can fudge protocol-level features (e.g. we support 900 character casts + a link for long casts and render them fully in our client; we link to a slideshow mini app but render the images in our client). This is why the protocol having a "official" client that is protocol-aligned and has high relative market share in the long run is good for the protocol.

Farcaster Pro is an important step forward in making the protocol sustainable. Raising a bunch of money from investors and spending it is not sustainable. It’s a tactic not a strategy. If the protocol can charge a fee that people are willing to pay annually, then it will have budget to spend on what is important to the protocol—independent of any one company. We’re starting with a pragmatic, optimized for speed approach today where we are centrally collecting, deciding (via an algo) and distributing rewards. In the next few weeks, subscribing to pro will be onchain and permissionless. In the longer term, ideally we can figure out how move rewards to something more akin Bitcoin or Ethereum block rewards where funds are collected and distributed entirely at the protocol. We’re not close to this and not a near term priority, but it’s where we would like to get to. (Solve the problems in the correct sequence.)

Can I still subscribe to Farcaster Pro? Yes. Farcaster Pro is bound to your account (FID) and will give you additional features for your account over time. Again, the first 10,000 subscriptions included a limited edition NFT. But all future features we're working on will go to all Pro subscribers. It won't matter if you have the NFT or not. It's optional, does not increase your reach, visibility or rewards.

Final reminder on Farcaster Pro + NFT The NFT is a benefit for the first 10,000 Farcaster Pro subscribers. There are no benefits to the NFT. Farcaster Pro is the thing.

FARCASTER PRO @ampsfun now allows you to filter your followers based on Farcaster Pro subscriptions. This helps you buy engagement from the top users on Farcaster. Onchain credentials = permissionless integration.

PSA Farcaster Pro subscriptions are possible after the first 10,000. However, you will see a clear warning that the NFT is no longer available.
