Subscribing a Channel you are starting to pay a subscription fee with $DEGENx, but earning $ALFA that could be staked after claiming in any channel to earn $DEGENx. Got it? Let's go in details.

There are 3 types of subscription fees:
paying 1500 $DEGENx per month to earn 450+ $ALFA per day
paying 1000 $DEGENx per month to earn 300+ $ALFA per day
paying 500 $DEGENx per month to earn 150+ $ALFA per day

Numbers of earnings can vary channel to channel.

You are paying a gas fee to start or cancel a subscription, so keep in mind gas prices to find the most suitable time for you to do so. Can check this dashboard on an average gas in AlfaFrens.

$ALFA earnings in a channel = $ALFA staking volume / Number of subscribers.

So it means the higher $ALFA per subscriber ratio the better.
Adding $ALFA to channel's stake increasing $ALFA earnings.

You can find an estimated Daily amount of $ALFA earning on Home tab.

Don't forget to claim $ALFA to put it at work for staking, gas fees should be paid for it.

Staking $ALFA to the channel makes you earn a share of channel's revenue pool in $DEGENx.

25% of subscription fees going to the channel's owner,
70% distributed among the stakers in proportion to their staked shares,
5% AlfaFrens commission.

For example:
Channel with 10 subs and 5 stakers ($ALFA: 10, 5, 3, 2, 1 = 48%, 24%, 14%, 10%, 5%)
10 subs for 500 $DEGENx per month = 5000 $DEGENx income,
1175 DEGENx goes for the owner,
3500 DEGENx splits between 5 stakers ($DEGENx 1667, 833, 500, 333, 167)

Earning $DEGENx is all about managing positive cashflow: Earnings > Subscription Fees
