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

FAQ What if I don’t want to subscribe? - You don’t have to. It’s too expensive - The subscription is opt-in. We’re also hoping to make it easy to gift others partial subscriptions. We also think rewards will be a way for people to earn a pro subscription. Why not launch with the additional features? - Our goal is get an initial version out and iterate.

I think that’s an error on your part. What you have now is organic. Adding a pay wall it’s like trying to be like all the other social apps (X) Farcaster is different it’s special. If it’s not broken don’t try to fix it.

The app literally has a pay wall now.

Sir, I only have two questions. 1. Is the subscription on an annual basis or monthly basis? Or are there two subscription time options? It is impossible for new platform users to invest one year at a time. 2. For subscribed users, is it possible to get some traffic exposure? To be honest, as a UFO enthusiast, it is a difficult thing to publicize themđź‘˝, especially the exposure, but in any case, I hope the mystery of UFOs brings a different experience to this platform!
