    The main issue with the adoption of the technology is that it is build through the Western Gaze, meaning that a more mainstream adoption of the technology will come through searching for the groups that develop for different demographics. I hope to accomplish more awareness and adoption of Web Monitization and Interledger technology within the mainstream domain.

    • Location: Canada
    Project lead: David Benoit

    Web Monetization aims to solve the problem of who gets paid, how much, and why, but remittance back to a content creator is exceptionally difficult and expensive. At present, there are a handful of options for creators to be paid, but we believe those are too cumbersome, slow, and riddled with fees and delays.

  5. Company XV Dance

    Grant for the Web

    100 000 USD

    • Location: United States
    Project lead: Jakari Sherman

    Company XV Dance seeks to democratize the relationship between artists, dance companies, and patrons. This model offers artists the chance to maintain a salary, while supplementing this income through web-monetized interactions with fans. Additionally, they can leverage the power of social media to bring fans into the Web Monetization ecosystem. Collectively, we believe this will increase the overall financial capacity of fans to support artists, convert casual content consumers to arts patrons, and encourage the evolving demographics of arts patronage.

    • Location: United States
    Project lead: Michael Masnick

    This project is a content series exploring the concept of Web Monetization, and how very different the internet might look if Web Monetization was widely deployed. This series will be posted on Techdirt (and freely shareable, repostable anywhere), starting with a look at how there was, from early on, an intent for Web Monetization to be a part of the world wide web, as is clear from the creation of HTTP response status code 402: “Payment required.”

    Grant for the Web

    Project lead: Alexander Mozeak

    Sharing content is easy, sharing paid content is hard. It's always frustrating to realize that the person you've shared a link with is blocked from viewing paywalled content. Gib is a gift card for the internet. Using the Gib payment handler, users will be able to share prepaid links to Web Monetized content, so that their friends, family, students - anyone they desire - can participate in the best experiences the Internet has to offer. Our project aims to build a technical prototype of the Gib payment handler using the Rafiki package and Interledger protocol. As part of this integration, we will test and document the features of Rafiki that Gib uses, as well as contribute bug fixes and other pull requests to the Rafiki codebase as necessary.
