I'm a big fan of what the Fabric team is building with Hypersub. Hypersub is a tool to create recurring revenue with NFT subscriptions. As one of the early adopters, I had one of the first Hypersubs around my Studio2 art project, following closely behind 0xen. Having a Hypersub enhances creating digital art by providing a built-in audience. This model addresses a common challenge in memetic art, where creators often experience unpredictable minting patterns - sometimes getting 1 mint, then 3 mints, then 1 mint, before suddenly reaching 20K mints. With a Hypersub of about 100 collectors, I can ensure my favorite pieces reach the wallets of 100 real humans. Additionally, I'm approaching 2 ETH in Hypersub proceeds and benefited from organic promotion when Base permissionlessly shared my Hypersub on their X account one day, highlighting the potential for unexpected exposure in this space.

The early adoption phase of Hypersubs within the Farcaster ecosystem was characterized by a small, art-focused community. Like many early adopters, I subscribed to all of them, both to support fellow creators and to gain insights into different implementation strategies. Initially, my Hypersub offering included an airdrop of everything I minted onchain to subscribers. However, as my minting frequency increased to 2 or 3 times a day, I adjusted the focus of the Hypersub to be a curated collection of mints. While art subscriptions were predominant in the early days, the Hypersub model has since diversified. Current implementations include integrations with automod for restricted posting to channels and the creation of gated groupchats. This demonstrates the flexibility of Hypersub and its adaptability to various use cases. I've really enjoyed observing the community experiment with all these tools and am identifying many things I need to incorporate into my own sub.

Today I began exploring the state of software on Hypersub. I had been supporting Herocast and Buoy on Hypersub and had a general awareness that more software projects were using it. Upon investigation, I discovered a comprehensive directory page showcasing a range of software applications. This discovery coincided with my search for more Farcaster power tools for the upcoming launch of my new app, The Scout Game, a Farcaster-centric BuilderFi app. As part of this project, I am particularly interested in enhanced analytics and monitoring tools. Here's a curated list of Hypersub-based tools that align with these needs:

• Buoy Pro - Buoy is currently the most effective Farcaster search engine, available across web, android, and ios platforms. It features great cast actions for following cast discussions and offers keyword monitoring. Buoy ranks among my top 3 Farcaster apps. The Hypersub subscription unlocks additional features within the app.

• Intelligent - This application provides comprehensive and visually appealing analytics for your casts.

• Fiids - Fiids enables the creation of highly customizable dashboards for cast consumption and engagement. The interface allows for the addition of multiple columns, each functioning as a module. These modules can display various views of your Farcaster graph, individual channels, custom lists of casters, RSS feeds, onchain transactions, and more. It offers functionality reminiscent of a more advanced version of TweetDeck.

• Herocast - Herocast is designed as a professional client offering features such as analytics , scheduling , and management of multiple accounts. At CharmVerse, we leverage its Hats Protocol integration to enable multiple CharmVerse team members to operate one account.

The Hypersub directory currently lists at least 20 other apps that, while not immediately relevant to my current needs, represent a range of tools and services that might be in the future. Hypersub provides a way for a wide range of creator and builder types to build a subscription business. From software to community it is proving to be a valuable crypto lego block to build with.
