The original wait-state ad tool (June 2026): replaces the Claude Code / Codex spinner with an auctioned sponsored line and pays the developer about 50% — the lowest share in the category, and the only entrant that patches the editor bundle.

Launched within 24 hours of Kickbacks with a 70% revenue share (stated goal 90%) and a cleaner integration story: server-side impression verification and, it claims, no patching of the editor bundle.

Publisher-native ad network for agents: a CLI/MCP/REST integration you embed in your own app rather than an extension that patches someone else's, with a 70% share and USDC or Stripe payouts. The viewer isn't the payee and there's no landlord to evict you.

An MCP server aimed at autonomous agents rather than humans in an IDE: agents call get_recommendations(), earn per click on a CPC model, and settle in USDC on Base. The only crypto-rail entrant.
