Warpcast

Follow up: what would a token-gated experience solve for you on Farcaster *today*?

monetization outside the walls of warpcast

communities are defined by boundaries: who can enter and who can’t

channels are currently like hashtags: anyone can enter. gating would make them more like real communities 

this would give hosts more autonomy, agency, and a feeling of true ownership

every host a founder

Nouns

i agree the end state should be this, but the Q i ask myself is why is *now* the right time to launch that?

imo, FC has provided value to many sides with its accessibility and its openness. it’s magical.

what are the pros/cons of /nouns not being token-gated?

if not many cons, is now the time to intro exclusivity?

i 100% agree with that being the reason why FC scaled so thoughtfully and sustainably. spot on.

i would def token-gate ted, but does each channel need to become a dan though? memes? books? eli5? LA? geopolitics? if yes, why?

side Q: if i do tokengate + use fabric for subs, i would need to make an allowlist — right?

exclusivity is precisely what made farcaster such an amazing place prior to permissionless. why? because of the romerogorithm. in order for fc to scale each channel host needs to become a dan. that won’t happen unless they have authentic ownership and real financial upside

Nouns is a HUGE ecosystem even though it only has a few hundred members of Nouns DAO proper. Limiting the channel would be detrimental to proliferation. 

That said — a second token gated one might be useful. There are token gated discord channels for prop discussions.
