  A GitHub Chrome extension with Web Monetization.

So many amazing projects came out of the Grant for the Web hackathon, including my project Revshare, and its sister project Revshare for GitHub. These projects let users configure payment pointers to split revenue coming into their sites, allowing users to each get a share of the Web Monetization proceeds.

  Proposed Web Monetization standard

  

It's been a couple years since Dev.to hosted the Grant for the Web hackathon, a month-long sprint to develop innovative projects with Web Monetization. Web Monetization is a proposed JavaScript API that allows browsers to create payment streams directly to websites, allowing for micropayments and unlocking exclusive content on a pay-per-use basis. It's still being incubated at the Web Incubator Community Group, but it's an active project and an exciting technology.

  A curated list of Ripple resources

Currently, the dominant player in the Web Monetization space is Coil, a subscription service that provides a Chrome extension to users. It connects to your cryptocurrency wallet - right now, Web Monetization works primarily on the Ripple blockchain. Whenever the Chrome extension detects a payment pointer, or a wallet address, it starts streaming micropayments. The page to which payments are being streamed can detect this and unlock exclusive paywalls.
