Experience the L402 paywall in action. Pay 1 sat to unlock the premium article below.

The Future of Web Monetization

The internet was built on advertising. For decades, "free" content has been subsidized by tracking users, selling data, and bombarding them with ads. But a paradigm shift is underway.

With Lightning Network micropayments, content creators can charge fractions of a cent for individual pieces of content. No subscriptions, no paywalls requiring credit cards, no intermediaries taking 30% cuts.

🔒 Premium: How L402 Changes Everything

This premium content is stored server-side. Pay 1 sat to unlock it — you won't find it in the page source! 😉

What Just Happened

  1. The premium content was registered via POST /api/v1/resources — stored server-side, not in HTML
  2. A teaser div with data-l402-resource="demo-article" was added to the page
  3. Our JS snippet fetched the resource info (price, title) from the /info endpoint
  4. You clicked "Pay with Lightning" → we created a 1 sat invoice
  5. You paid the invoice with your Lightning wallet
  6. The JS sent your L402 token (macaroon + preimage) to the /deliver endpoint
  7. The server verified proof-of-payment and delivered the content
  8. The content was never in the HTML source — try View Source!
