# 🎉 Celebrating ZPan v2 — earn ZPan Pro for free
ZPan v2 is here: a ground-up rewrite on Cloudflare Workers, D1, and a direct
browser-to-S3 transfer path. To thank the community that carried the project
this far, we're opening **three ways to earn ZPan Pro for free** — no purchase
required.
Sign in at [cloud.zpan.space](https://cloud.zpan.space) with your GitHub
account, open the **Offers** page, and any reward you qualify for is listed and
ready to claim. Each offer is a simple rule → reward: meet the rule, claim the
gift.
> Pro gifts attach to your ZPan Cloud account and apply to any ZPan instance you
> bind to it. ZPan Community stays free and fully self-hostable — these offers
> are a thank-you, not a paywall.

## 1. Old Stargazer reward — *thanks for the early star*
Did you star [`saltbo/zpan`](https://github.com/saltbo/zpan) **before the v2
launch**? Claim a Pro gift scaled to how long you've backed the project — and the
earliest supporters get the most.
| You are… | Reward |
|---|---|
| One of the **first 100 stargazers** | 🏆 **Lifetime Pro** |
| Starred **4+ years** ago | 60-day Pro gift + a discount toward lifetime Pro |
| Starred **24 years** ago | 30-day Pro gift + a discount toward lifetime Pro |
| Starred **under 2 years** ago | 14-day Pro gift + a discount toward lifetime Pro |
This is a **one-time** launch thank-you for existing stargazers. **Claim by
September 1, 2026** — the discount code you receive then has its own validity
window, so a late claim still leaves time to buy. Stars added after the launch
don't qualify here — see offer #3 instead.
## 2. Contributor Pro gift — *contribution earns Pro*
Have commits merged into ZPan? You've earned Pro. The more you contribute, the
longer the gift — and you can come back to **upgrade** as you reach each tier.
| Contributions to ZPan | Reward |
|---|---|
| **5+** | 90-day Pro |
| **20+** | 180-day Pro |
| **50+** | 365-day Pro |
| **100+** | 🏆 **Lifetime Pro** |
**No deadline** — keep contributing, keep upgrading. Contribution counts refresh
from GitHub daily, so a freshly merged PR shows up after the next sync. New to
the codebase? Start with [CONTRIBUTING.md](../CONTRIBUTING.md).
## 3. Stargazer loyalty Pro — *hold your star, grow your gift*
New to ZPan? Star [`saltbo/zpan`](https://github.com/saltbo/zpan) and **keep the
star on**. The longer you hold it, the longer your Pro gift grows.
| Star held for… | Reward |
|---|---|
| **7+ days** | 3-day Pro |
| **30+ days** | 7-day Pro |
| **180+ days** | 14-day Pro |
| **365+ days** | 30-day Pro |
**Evergreen and upgradeable** — your tier climbs as your star tenure grows. This
applies to stars added from the v2 launch onward, and needs a live star: removing
it resets the offer.
