On Focus, you can create a monthly recurring subscription for as little as $0.01 per month.
Why is that a huge fucking deal?
Because previously, if you wanted to do this, you would have to give up 2.9% and 30 cents to a centralized payment provider like Stripe — which can also dictate your entire payment policy as they can cancel your account at any time without notice.
But also, most creator platforms require arbitrary thresholds (# of followers), linking bank accounts and going through a long creator KYC approval flow just to even enable payments and monetization features.
But since Focus is built with crypto payment rails, it completely eliminates all of these problems.
It works because the DeSo blockchain supports derived keys, deeply integrated at the layer-1 level and the wallet.
This means that apps can perform transactions on your behalf, like paying for recurring subscriptions, without ever needing to touch your private keys.
And the reason you can go as low as a penny per month (even lower honestly), is because transaction fees on DeSo are less than $0.00001.
But you can also go as high as you want too — which Stripe would never let you do!
Want a subscription tier for high net worth individuals at $10,000 per month? No problem, DeSo and Focus can handle it.
This opens up content monetization to roughly anyone in the world with an internet connection, from the moment they sign up and create a DeSo wallet.
No unnecessary hoops and hurdles.
It's the way crypto should be — unlocking new financial opportunities for everyone across the world.
