Articles, photos, video, art — anything you publish carries a live price, set autonomously by AI and paid in a fraction of a cent. Agents settle on-chain via the x402 handshake before the first scroll ends.
How the modern web became a battlefield for your focus, and how micro-pricing changes the incentives for quality content creators...
We did not evolve to process thousands of fragments of information per hour. The modern attention economy treats human focus as an infinite resource to be mined, packaged, and sold to the highest bidder.
By placing a micro-price on attention, we flip the script. Platforms must pay for your time, and creators are compensated directly by automated agents. The web becomes quiet again, structured around quality rather than clicks.
Every view, every watch, every moment of dwell feeds a signal bundle. The Pricing Agent weighs recency and momentum, then sets the next price — no formula, no decay curve.
The content returns 402 Payment Required. Your agent pays the standing price — a fraction of a cent, signed offchain, settled in under a second via Circle Gateway. Then 200 OK.
Tips above the suggested amount tell the agent it underpriced the piece. It adjusts. Every decision is logged, reasoned, and readable by the creator.
Every price move comes with a reason you can read. The dashboard streams the full reasoning chain — why it raised, why it held, what signal tipped the call — across all your pieces, whatever the medium.
Disagree with a decision? Dispute it. The agent reweighs and logs the correction against your piece.
After a read, watch, or scroll, the AI judges whether to ask — and how much. Never a checkout. More like a suggestion from someone who was paying attention.
