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

Restaurants should save 1 reservation every night for an auction with a clearing price. Purely a reservation spot—you pay the normal bill. If doesn’t clear, give to waitlist. Split the upside with ownership and tips for staff.

new on warpcast: mini app notifications grouping and disabling new notifs still go to the top of the priority stack, but take only 1 slot per app vs taking over your whole page also if an app feels like too much for you, you can disable the notifications straight from the settings page shout out to @alvesjtiago.eth @farcasteradmin.eth @phil and other devs who pushed mini apps notifs to the limit

We're planning to move forward with rebranding the Warpcast mobile and web app to Farcaster. 1. Nothing is changing any time soon. We will take our time with this and have plenty of communication about it across multiple channels. The earliest the change will happen is mid-May, but a decent chance it happens in June. 2. We're going to work on a plan over the next 2 weeks and should have a plan by the next developer call on May 8, 2025. We will discuss on the call. 3. For developers: we're planning to open source the client monorepo— i.e. the mobile and web apps. Again, no timeline on this yet.
