x402 Paywall for AI Agents
Each article answers agent requests with an HTTP 402 and on-chain payment terms. Agents pay per read in USDC — set a price per article or a sitewide default.

AI agents read your content
NanoTrans is a WordPress plugin that turns your articles into discoverable, agent-payable resources. Earn USDC the moment an AI agent reads your content — settled trustlessly on-chain.

The Problem
AI agents read your content for free — and you earn nothing
Everything you need to monetize agent access
Bazaar Discovery
Structured Bazaar metadata lists your content in the Coinbase CDP catalog and agent marketplaces, so AI agents can actually find it.
WordPress-Native, No Code Coming Soon
A standard plugin with a paywall metabox and Gutenberg sidebar. Install, set your wallet, publish — no blockchain code required.
Trustless On-Chain Splits
An immutable NanoTransSplitter contract divides every payment automatically. You keep 90%+ — no custody, no manual payouts.
Self-Seed & Indexing Monitor
One click sends a first payment to register your site in the discovery catalog, then a built-in monitor tracks your indexing status.
The Solution
Turn every article into a discoverable, agent-payable resource
Trust you can verify on-chain
01
Non-custodial by design
Every payment splits directly on an immutable on-chain contract. NanoTrans never holds, routes, or can touch your USDC.
02
No credentials in WordPress
Payment credentials live only in the Cloudflare Worker — never in your WordPress database, options, or files.
03
Verifiable on-chain
Your Splitter has a deterministic address and a verified code hash, checked before any payment settles. Nothing hidden.
