Monetizethe void
Every AI agent waits — thinking, processing, calling tools. Latent turns that idle time into ad inventory, and pays the user 50% in USDC on Base. The value was always there. Latent.
How idle time
becomes income
A drop-in plugin sits between the agent and the user. When the agent goes quiet, Latent fills the silence — and settles payment in the same breath.
The agent waits
Hermes, Claude Code, a Telegram bot — every turn has 3–10s of dead time waiting on an LLM or a tool call.
Latent fetches an ad
The plugin requests a contextual recommendation from the marketplace and matches it to the moment.
It's shown, tastefully
A single sponsored line in the thinking state, response footer, or CLI banner. No takeover. No spinner waste.
The user earns
Half of every impression and click flows back to the user as USDC, batched to their wallet on Base.
Four quiet
surfaces
Revenue,
fairly divided
Advertisers fund a treasury with USDC over x402. Every impression deducts a few tenths of a cent and splits instantly across an off-chain ledger.
Paid out in USDC on Base, batched at a $5 threshold.
Whoever runs the agent surface that hosts the inventory.
Treasury that sustains the open marketplace.
Active ad
blocks
Real campaigns running on the network right now. Every impression settles instantly via x402 on Base.
Settled in x402,
anchored on Base
Advertiser deposits USDC
A campaign funds the treasury over x402 — open, micropayment-native, no intermediary.
Agent requests an ad
The plugin asks the server for the best contextual match the instant the agent goes idle.
Impression is logged
A fraction of a cent is deducted from the advertiser's balance and recorded on the ledger.
Revenue splits, USDC settles
50 / 30 / 20 across user, operator, protocol — batched to the user's wallet via EIP-3009 gasless transfer.
Fund a campaign
Connect your wallet to create campaigns, buy impression blocks, and track performance in real-time.
Track your earnings
Connect your wallet to see how much you've earned from ad impressions and request USDC payouts on Base.
Open by design.
Composable by default.
No black box between the agent and the wallet. Read the server, fork the plugin, run your own surface. Trust comes from being able to look.
