Hello Grand,
Thank you so much for the feedback!
I lack the technical understanding to weigh in on the 60k RLY amount, but I did like how this other proposal broke out the cost: Treasury Proposal: Content Curation System to acquire ‘Mainstage’ EDM Artist
Thank you for sending this over - I was initially worried about putting a flat price on the proposal - I think that updating it with breakdowns of time estimates would be super helpful for everyone. I can do that over the weekend and then update everyone!
I also liked that the tool was developed in such a way that it created this functionality for Jauz and $BTX community, but that the tool is open source and available for any creator to reskin and repurpose. Importantly for Rally as a network, the ongoing operational cost is left with the creator
I will check on the team’s thoughts on this and what we would like to open source. We would like to keep the current general MintGate product (token gating ERC-20s, ERC-721s, and ERC-1155s) still properitary but make the Rally OAuth version open-source. Let me check with the team!
My preference would be for a design that allows you to offer the service as I described above in a way that those creators using it subscribe and pay a fair amount for it.
Excellent point. Though we want every Rally creator to use this product, you’re right that not every creator will or will use it right away.
For example,
- After 5 token gates created on the Rally creator page, it could prompt the creator to pay a subscription to MintGate. Does Rally have an integrations page where creators can see what third-party products are offered through Rally partners (example: DAOhaus)?
If not, we could help build out or brainstorm on the page (and add to the proposal if applicable).
If the Mintgate proves useful (hopefully essential) to creators, they’ll be ready to pay to continue to use it. $30/month doesn’t seem like a stretch though you’ll want to run the numbers on what makes sense.
Our biggest cost is maintaining the servers - the higher the volume of fans trying to access the links, the more server data. We will analyze average creator following more closely and make estimates. We would hate to charge a smaller community technically more because we are factoring high volumes from the top Rally creators so we may consider tiers based on the creators’ following. Thoughts on this structure?
I reached out to another community that spoke highly of their use of Mintgate as well.
Awesome, what community was this?
Have a wonderful weekend as well!
