Project Introduction

Alfafrens is a revolutionary SocialFi protocol built on the Farcaster protocol, supported by DEGEN and Superfluid. Led by @Vijay, the project offers a platform similar to friend.tech, allowing users to subscribe to different creators' Channels by paying DEGEN to access exclusive content and earn $ALFA.

Unlike friend.tech, Alfafrens abandons the Bonding curve-based Key model in favor of a dual-token mining model. It implements time-streamed subscription fees through SuperFluid, potentially providing a more sustainable SocialFi economic model, avoiding a Ponzi-like structure reliant on new user influx.

Main Features:

• Dual-token system: Use DEGEN to subscribe to channels and earn ALFA, which can be staked for investment.

• Non-Ponzi economic model: Genuine subscribers and content creation form a positive economic cycle.

• Anti-speculation design: No supply cap on subscription fees, reducing speculation opportunities.

Current Status

Alfafrens uses two tokens: DEGEN for channel subscriptions and ALFA for staking and earning DEGEN. ALFA is non-transferable with a 24-hour accumulation limit, requiring regular claiming.

The project has entered the second phase of user growth, introducing more ways to earn tokens and additional incentives. Tokens will be released in the third phase.

Gameplay Mechanics

By spending DEGEN to subscribe to channels, users can earn ALFA. These $ALFA can be staked on creators to earn a share of subscription revenue. Staking on creators is proportionally allocated to maximize growth and earnings.

As Alfafrens subscriptions are billed per second, leverage is possible. For instance, with only 1000 DEGEN, one can subscribe to a 2000 DEGEN/month channel. However, once the balance is depleted, the subscription resets, though ALFA remains.

Claim ALFA when gas fees are low and do not exceed 24 hours (mining cap is 24 hours, rewards stop accumulating beyond this).

Operational Steps

Obtain DEGEN

Purchase DEGEN on Uniswap via the contract address or on centralized exchanges supporting DEGEN, like hotcoin (around 1000 DEGEN, approximately a dozen dollars).

• DEGEN token contract: https://basescan.org/token/0x4ed4E862860beD51a9570b96d89aF5E1B0Efefed

After purchasing, create an account and transfer or withdraw DEGEN to the wallet base chain address generated by Alfafrens.

Register and Subscribe to Channels:

Visit Alfafrens website (https://www.alfafrens.com/), register an account, and subscribe to interesting channels (no invitation code required).

Register using a Farcaster account; refer to previous Farcaster tutorials for registration guidance.

Transfer DEGEN to the Alfafrens wallet account: Click "Copy address" to copy the Alfafrens account wallet address, then transfer DEGEN to the corresponding address in your wallet.

Refresh the page once the transfer is complete; the balance should be visible in the top right corner.

Explore the page (https://www.alfafrens.com/explore) to find high-ALFA earning and heavily staked users for subscription, or subscribe to friends.

Click the relevant link, then click the subscribe button at the bottom (subscriptions are time-streamed, not one-time charges).

Next Steps

Before subscribing, check the monthly ALFA token earnings and click subscribe.

After subscribing, repeat the process for other subscriptions.

Create and Promote Your Own Channel:

Return to the explore page and click "New channel" to create a personal channel and invite others to subscribe.

The fee is 500 DEGEN per month (you earn 70% of your channel's subscription income); click continue.

The created address corresponds to your Farcaster account's linked wallet address; proceed.

Confirm and create, waiting for blockchain confirmation.

Once created, share with friends and post directly to Farcaster.

Stake ALFA:

Return to the homepage, click claim to collect ALFA tokens.

Visit the interested creator's page, click staking in the top right to stake ALFA and earn more $DEGEN.

Choose the amount of ALFA to stake and confirm.

On the same page, click unstake to un-stake (after 24 hours of staking).

Conclusion

Alfafrens offers an innovative economic model in the SocialFi field, providing a fairer and more sustainable revenue model for content creators and subscribers through substantive subscriptions and content creation. Participation in this project can yield future ALFA returns.
