✶Terminal-native ad marketplace

One sponsored line while your agent thinks. Paid in USDC, on Solana.

Install a small CLI. While Claude Code is working, a single line of text sits in your status line. When the answer lands, it is gone.

Shown only while you wait. Gone when the answer lands.

Three steps. Then you forget it is there.

No account, no email, no password. A command, a wallet signature, and a line that only exists while you are waiting anyway.

01

It edits your Claude Code settings and nothing else on the machine.

Connect your wallet

Phantom, Solflare or Backpack. You sign a message — not a transaction. We never see a key.

Where this actually stands.

Advertisers deposit, publishers get paid on-chain, the pipeline runs end to end — with test money. No projections here, only the ledger.

The first devnet payout transaction will be linked here, so you can open it and check.

Who gets paid, and where.

Developers who chose to be listed. A nickname and a country — never a wallet address. Their own ads don't count.
