Revolutionizing the digital content economy

Web Monetization connects publishers, creators and their audiences, turning engagement into revenue.

A Community-led Model

The Web Monetization tools for Publishers, Supporters and Developers are no longer being proactively developed by the Interledger Foundation in terms of new features or integrations. We are maintaining all existing tools and they will remain open source and available to use.

The Web Monetization extension itself will continue to exist as a wallet agnostic browser extension that allows users to support Web Monetized websites while the native browser implementation continues to be developed.

We are moving to a community-led model and welcome code contributions, including the development of new features. All code will be reviewed by the Interledger Foundation. For more information, review our Contribution Guidelines.

The Web Monetization standard will continue to be actively stewarded by the foundation.

From one-time payments to pay-as-you-browse

Web Monetization gives publishers more revenue options and audiences more ways to sustain the content they love. Support can take many forms: from a one-time contribution to a continuous, pay-as-you-browse model. It all flows seamlessly while people engage with the content they love. Publishers earn the moment someone engages, while audiences contribute in real time, using a balance they control.

Built as a growing, open protocol web standard, Web Monetization enables real-time wallet-to-wallet transfers through its free-to-use, frictionless model.
