The Media Platform Package
The first part of this tutorial focuses on the media platform package, which will contain the free_trial function that users can call to subscribe to the free trial option. The free_trial function will be called by the user's signed transaction, which will be sponsored by the Gas Station server.
First, create a new Move project called sponsored_transactions, and add the following code to the sources/sponsored_transactions.move file:
sponsored_transactions_packages/sources/sponsored_transactions.move
loading...
When you publish the package, init will be called, creating a SubscriptionManager shared object and transferring the Publisher object to the sender. The Publisher object is used to ensure that only the publisher can call the publish function.

Take a look at the transaction digest and retrieve the SubscriptionManager shared object, which you will need to call the free_trial function.
Both subscribe and free_trial functions allow users to subscribe to a specific type of content, with the distinction that free_trial doesn't deduct coins from the user's balance.
info
The package implementation is oversimplified, as the main focus is the sponsored transactions workflow. In a real-world application, you would should:
- Use timestamps to track the subscription duration and automatically unsubscribe users after the trial period.
- Restrict the number of free trials a user can have.
This package contains the following functions:
subscribe: Allows a user to subscribe to a specific type of content.free_trial: Allows a user to subscribe to the free trial option.publish: Publishes content to the subscribers and trials. This function is only callable by the publisher.
And the following structs:
SubscriptionType: Enum representing subscription types.Content: Struct representing content.Subscribed: Event for subscriptions.SubscriptionManager: Struct encapsulating subscription and trial tables. This is used to manage subscriptions and trials.
