Status: planned. Not available to buy.
A subscription NFT is intended to be a time-limited pass to one author's or one publication's output: you hold it, and new issues arrive automatically for as long as it is valid. Three-month, six-month and annual durations are the shapes being designed, after which the pass expires rather than auto-renewing.
The point is that a subscription you own behaves differently from one you rent. It can be gifted or resold while it still has time left on it, and the author earns a royalty when it changes hands — which a card-on-file subscription can never do.
What exists today instead
- Genesis Library Pass — a one-time pass with ongoing perks, available now.
- The News Stand publishes a new edition daily and is free to read.
Subscription NFTs will be announced on What's New when they open.
