$SKOPOS (the token, on Base) gives your wallet a higher daily Smart-tier message allowance. It’s a utility gate, not a paywall bypass you buy outright — it’s tied to what your wallet actually holds, checked live.
How it’s checked
- A direct
balanceOfread against the$SKOPOScontract on Base, via a public RPC — no API key, no third-party dependency that can go down independently of the chain itself. - Cached for 5 minutes, so it’s not re-checked on every single message.
- If the check fails for any reason (RPC hiccup, network issue), your wallet falls back to the standard free cap rather than blocking you — a failed check never locks you out.
Tiers
Three ascending tiers, each unlocked by holding at least a configured amount of$SKOPOS. The exact holding thresholds are configured server-side; the tiers themselves work like this:
| Tier | Default daily Smart cap |
|---|---|
Base (no $SKOPOS) | 20 messages |
| Tier 1 | 100 messages |
| Tier 2 | 250 messages |
| Tier 3 | 1,000 messages |
$SKOPOS. A subscription (see Fast vs Smart) still gets you uncapped access regardless of what you hold — the token tiers are for people who’d rather hold than subscribe.
What counts as “holding”
The check is a spot wallet balance — whatever$SKOPOS sits directly in your connected wallet address at the moment of the check. It does not currently count $SKOPOS held in liquidity positions (like a Uniswap v4 LP) — only a direct wallet balance.
