Basic profiles are free, but users should pay a subscription for the "name" and maybe some other perks. It could help to fund gassles transactions. Also some small protocol fees for mints and other financial actions on the protocol. But with such mechanics we need some ideas to grow value for active users, because they will help Lens make more subscribers and growth protocol fees stream.
“free profiles or charge” i think to charge its the best (to support the protocol) but i don’t see why apps like orb or buttrfly can’t pay for that to exclusive users (proven identities only)
I guess if we can have a mechanism like a Gitcoin passport then we will have legit users on the network to some extent. In your waitlist process, you guys are trying to do the same thing, which I believe needs to be done on priority and allow more users to use the platform. No charges which might increase the barrier to entry
What if there's a daily allowance of free credits for posting and interacting? If you need more, you can purchase additional credits. I'm not in favor of a paywall for initial onboarding if we're aiming for mass adoption. However, it's acceptable to charge for additional utilities and benefits like X Premium or GPT4 after onboarding.
