Getting started

Introduction

Verivyx is a paywall for the agentic web. Humans read your content for free; AI agents pay a USDC micropayment over the x402 protocol on Stellar before they get a single token. Your content stays on your server — Verivyx only controls access.

The model

Verivyx's security is economic, not cryptographic. A scraper can read your HTML source, but it cannot complete an x402 payment. The goal isn't to defeat every bot — it's to make sophisticated AI agents that want legitimate, reliable access pay for it, automatically.

• Humans browse free. A lightweight proof-of-work check runs silently — no captcha, no friction.
• Agents pay per request. Unverified traffic gets an HTTP 402 Payment Required with x402 payment requirements.
• Settlement is on-chain. USDC settles on Stellar in seconds and is split between you and the platform by the paywall_core Soroban contract.

How it works

One script tag sits in front of your pages and runs three layers:

• Detect — heuristics tell humans from agents (fingerprints, known agent UAs, behavior).
• Hydrate — real text is never delivered to unverified sessions; bots get a 402, humans get content.
• Settle — agents pay USDC over x402; Verivyx verifies the transaction on Stellar, then unlocks access.
