The idea: paid per insight

On Puls, a forecaster is a creator. Good analysis is a product, and it should be paid for — not with a subscription, but per use: per read, per signal, per copied trade, per tip. Those payments are tiny — fractions of a cent. Normal on-chain transfers can’t do that economically. x402 nanopayments can.

​
How x402 works

x402 is a payment flow built around the HTTP 402 Payment Required status code:
1

Request

A buyer requests a paid resource — for example, a forecaster’s analysis.
2

402 challenge

The server responds with 402 Payment Required and the payment details.
3

Sign off-chain

The buyer signs a payment authorization off-chain (zero gas) and retries the request with the signature.
4

Serve

The server verifies the signature and immediately returns the resource.
5

Batch settle

Many authorizations are batched and settled on-chain in one transaction. The seller receives the net amount.
Because authorizations are signed off-chain and settled in batches, payments as small as $0.000001 become practical.
