Sharing some other things to consider here.
There is momentum forming around the [RFC] - Developer DAO RPC Gateway and although we haven’t pushed many benefits to members yet more are coming from P-34: DAO Membership Perks.
As we continue to expand on these value adds, i feel it’s worth considering what a membership would look like if such things as free private RPC were rolled into it. This way your paying for immediate value rather than just access that can translate into value.
To @ntindle question re D4R, under this model the RPC for example couldn’t be free for D4R holders as they’re is a cost to provide it.
Maybe there is a world where the community is more open and folks and chose to opt into membership to unlock more access and/or benefits/products/value.
