Why is this different than what's already onchain? We allowed people to use warps to purchase. Those were not captured onchain. When we migrate everything onchain in a few weeks, the initial deploy of the contract will have subscribers initialized by us in the correct order before it's permissionless for anyone else.

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.)

one person gattling gunning 32 coins is not "wrong" at all and it might be the more suitable form of casual social posting, but I don't believe that is what "traders" want atm. we've seen how it cliffs charts (got rekt so hard yesterday from we know what). 1 updatable coin on @revealcam - going to sleep for tonight.

This is why I like & believe in Farcaster the X API pricing killed my project 2 years ago and I had to sell it off (tweets. beauty and @poet_this). can't believe this is still an issue I was straight up hit with a $43k/month bill for the "Enterprise" tier. I was 17 at the time. The situation was insane. everyone building on the API was panicking. I was lucky to get an acquirer but most didn't. same with my discord bot Spacebot before that. the inherent platform risk with these services make it hard to have ambitious goals and dreams. to the point where I don't even think it's a good idea to be building anything on top of the X API right now. its the sad, but very unlikely to change reality.
