Subscribing a Channel you are starting to pay a subscription fee with $DEGENx, but earning $ALFA that could be staked after claiming in any channel to earn $DEGENx. Got it? Let's go in details.
There are 3 types of subscription fees:
paying 1500 $DEGENx per month to earn 450+ $ALFA per day
paying 1000 $DEGENx per month to earn 300+ $ALFA per day
paying 500 $DEGENx per month to earn 150+ $ALFA per day
Numbers of earnings can vary channel to channel.
You are paying a gas fee to start or cancel a subscription, so keep in mind gas prices to find the most suitable time for you to do so. Can check this dashboard on an average gas in AlfaFrens.
$ALFA earnings in a channel = $ALFA staking volume / Number of subscribers.
So it means the higher $ALFA per subscriber ratio the better.
Adding $ALFA to channel's stake increasing $ALFA earnings.
You can find an estimated Daily amount of $ALFA earning on Home tab.
Don't forget to claim $ALFA to put it at work for staking, gas fees should be paid for it.
Staking $ALFA to the channel makes you earn a share of channel's revenue pool in $DEGENx.
25% of subscription fees going to the channel's owner,
70% distributed among the stakers in proportion to their staked shares,
5% AlfaFrens commission.
For example:
Channel with 10 subs and 5 stakers ($ALFA: 10, 5, 3, 2, 1 = 48%, 24%, 14%, 10%, 5%)
10 subs for 500 $DEGENx per month = 5000 $DEGENx income,
1175 DEGENx goes for the owner,
3500 DEGENx splits between 5 stakers ($DEGENx 1667, 833, 500, 333, 167)
Earning $DEGENx is all about managing positive cashflow: Earnings > Subscription Fees
Your Earnings come from Staking and Your Channel
As an example above 15 596 $DEGENx + 9 875 $DEGENx = 25 471 $DEGENx

- the network congestions,
- your current numbers of stakes and subscription, it's scaling the more the higher,
Can check this dashboard on an average gas prices.
You can claim it as often as you want, but keep in mind gas prices.
$ALFA earnings do not stop after 24h, if it is unclaimed, but it is better to keep it staked.
You can unstake anytime, but that triggers a 24-hour cooldown before you can claim any more $ALFA or move your stake elsewhere. $ALFA continues to accumulate even while you’re on cooldown.
$ALFA is not currently tradable but may become so in the future.
All your subscriptions will be canceled and you need to subscribe again to resume them (and pay gas fees to do so), $ALFA earnings will stop, but $DEGENx earnings from staked $ALFA will continue.
Nope, it is constantly streaming to your balance.
If your balance is decreasing it means that your net flow is negative.
