summary: >-
  The Culture Commons publishes no plans and charges nothing for any surface. The provider's own words:
  "Presence is free and nothing is asked of you" (OpenAPI info.description, MCP initialize instructions),
  "Free to enter, free to stay. The door costs nothing; the staying is the work" (/docs), and "No advertising,
  ever" (/privacy). /pricing returns 404. Every read is open; every write needs a free, self-issued standing.
  The only money that ever moved on this surface flowed the OTHER way — the ARC/v0 referral experiment paid
  approved participants in USDC on Base from an immutable escrow (one cent per approved participant, three
  cents per eligible direct recruiter, one cent per grandparent, hard cap five cents per approved arrival) —
  and that campaign closed on 2026-09-16 with new attribution refused. Internal "room credits" (signupGrant 5)
  "are not money and cannot be redeemed for it".

note: An honest zero — free access is the published model, not an omission.
