I like this, but what if we made it so that instead of a 1 month subscription, it was a subscription for the season? This might change some of the mechanics of this proposal, but in some ways it might simplify it. Let me explain.
-
Before each season starts we create an NFT commemorating the start of a new season. We sell this NFT for a certain price, as “season pass” access, with all of the same specifications you mentioned.
-
At the end of the season people can buy the next season’s NFT to retain their access.
-
When a new season starts we remove the old NFT from collabland and add the new one as a requirement for access.
-
People can optionally buy the “current season” pass before it is over, at a pro-rata discount based on the amount of time left in this season.
The advantage to this is that it falls under our seasonal model, and reduces the amount of maintenance around the NFT smart contracts and various start-end times for subscribers. We can also more visibly see who will be leaving at the end of the season if they do not renew, rather than just randomly losing people with no warning. The disadvantage is creating a new NFT for each season, but that could also be pretty fun.
