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

Ok great idea bear with me 

What if we could direct our fees to “sponsor” a channel of our choosing 

And each “sponsored” channel has a leaderboard (like the general one there is now), but with specific qualifications for that leaderboard - for example, to climb the /replyguys leaderboard, replies are very heavily weighted 

And every Tuesday those leaderboards pay out just like our generic one, but based strictly off of how many people sponsor and how much 

It still returns all fees to the community but gives us ownership of where that goes and who we want to support
