3 years ago As mentioned in the other issue, web already supports premium features too. Will keep this issue open for the more than 280 validator request.
The beaconcha.in dashboard is hard-capped at 100 validators, with no option to increase that.
The mobile app allows users to subscribe for $24.49 per month to add up to 280 validators on their mobile dashboard.
The web dashboard should offer a similar feature. But there is no particular reason either the web dashboard or mobile app needs to be capped at 280 validators.
Suggestion: Allow users to subscribe for $0.10 per month per validator to have access to the premium services, including more than 100 validators on both the mobile and web versions.
If a user has 150 validators, they would pay $15 per month, and could have 150 validators on their web and mobile app.
If a user has 800 validators, they would pay $80 per month.
If a user has just 10 validators, they could pay $1 per month to get access to the other premium features, even though they aren't hitting the 100 validator cap.
Right now the premium subscription only appeals to a very small subset of stakers -- those with between about 125-280 validators.
Less than 100 validators -- free version is fine 100-125 validators -- free version works for the first 100, and the rest are okay without; it's not worth paying $25/month for the incremental data 125-280 validators -- target customers! 281 and up -- These whales can't access all their validators on the dashboard anyway, so why subscribe?
You might also find that by adding a per-validator subscription, users with just 1 or 2 validators might subscribe just to get access to additional features like custom alerts and no ads. You could have a minimum charge of $1 per month, or $10 per year to keep the accounting easier. Or license the validators in blocks of 10 for $1 per month.
This is the same feature request as https://github.com/gobitfly/eth2-beaconchain-explorer/issues/1064 but is put here since it suggests improvements to both web and mobile versions.
