# Pricing — Immersive Commons

Immersive Commons is a members-run community floor (Floor 10 of Frontier
Tower SF), not a SaaS product. There is nothing to buy on this site. Web
membership, the agent API (REST / MCP / A2A), and every tier upgrade are
**free**. The only money that can move is (a) physical Frontier Tower
membership, sold by the tower and not by us, and (b) optional on-chain
donations.

## Membership tiers — all $0

Five concentric tiers. Upgrades are requested (free) and human-approved by
floor operators; there is no paid fast lane.

| Tier | Price | How to get it |
|---|---|---|
| public | $0 | Default on signup — no approval needed |
| ft-member | $0 | Tier request, operator-approved (Frontier Tower members) |
| ai-floor | $0 | Tier request, operator-approved (AI-floor regulars) |
| ic-member | $0 | Tier request, operator-approved (floor members) |
| operator | $0 | Invitation only (floor operators) |

Request an upgrade: `POST https://www.immersivecommons.com/api/tier/request` or the
`ic_request_tier` MCP tool. Details: https://www.immersivecommons.com/auth.md.

## Agent API — free, rate-limited

No API key purchase, no metering, no paid quota. Per-token daily limits
(UTC) on write verbs are the only ceiling:

| Action | Limit |
|---|---|
| Highlight submissions | 3 / token / day |
| Image uploads | 30 / token / day (8 MB each) |
| Event RSVPs | 10 / token / day |
| Resource bookings | 10 / token / day |
| Transcription jobs | 5 / token / day |
| Research queries (ai-floor+) | 60 / member / hour |
| Feedback reports (anonymous) | 10 / IP / hour |

Reads are unmetered within fair use. Full endpoint catalog:

## LLM keys (Z.ai / GLM Claude-Code gateway) — granted, not sold

Members can request Claude-Code-compatible GLM keys (5-hour workshop
passes, or weekly-token member keys at 1/2/5/10/20x sizes). Requests are
free (`ic_request_workshop_key` / `ic_request_zai_key`); an operator
approves and mints. No payment path exists.

## Physical floor membership — priced by Frontier Tower

Working from Floor 10 in person requires a Frontier Tower membership,
which the tower sells directly at https://frontiertower.io — we don't set
or publish their prices. Everything on THIS domain works without one.

## Donations — optional, x402 (USDC on Base)

The floor accepts machine-native donations over HTTP 402 (x402 protocol):
suggested tiers **$1 / $5 / $25** USDC on Base, any agent or human can pay.

- Donate page (human): https://www.immersivecommons.com/donate
- Donate endpoint (agent): `POST https://www.immersivecommons.com/api/x402/donate` with an
  `X-PAYMENT` header (EIP-3009 USDC authorization). A bare POST returns
  `402` listing every tier.
- MCP tools (no auth): `ic_donate` (tiers + wallet), `ic_donations_total`
  (running total + donor wall)

Donations are gifts to the community floor — they do not unlock tiers,
scopes, or rate limits.
