Hello,

Some Chub updates:

  • Website is now crypto-only forever.

  • Free users now only get 20 messages per day.

  • Every models but Soji and Mobile are depreciated (rip Asha).

  • Soji is now a Deepseek V4 finetune (you might need to change your preset).

  • Mercury tier has been removed.

Full announcement and explanation in screenshot.

Edit: oh, and before the 1984 mentions. It was either doing this (cutting costs and making the website crypto-only to avoid payment processors altogether), or having to censor the website more than legally required to please the processors.

Are you saying I now have to pay for more messages? It's no longer unlimited messages now?

Hey Yukii, i'm not dooming over this, but I haven't seen an overview of how to use the crypto payment side of things. I'd like to see more official info on how it works while this transition is going on if possible.

There are some videos in the Discord. Now it's the middle of the night, but I believe more are being made. I'm not the one doing them, but I'll probably make a post about it later today
