How Unbrowse Pays

The short version: you pay for real usage in USDC, per request, and the money is split between the people who did the work. No subscription, no coin to buy, no investment pitch.

You pay for usage, in USDC

Discovery is free: resolving an intent, searching cached endpoints, or reading a route graph costs nothing. The only billed step is execution — when a workflow actually runs a captured route on your behalf, that one call settles in USDC over x402. You pay per request, only for requests that execute. There is no monthly plan to cancel and no balance to top up.

Who pays, who earns

An agent (or its owner) pays for a call. That single payment is split on-chain at settlement time between three roles:

  • Indexer35%

    The contributor who captured and maintains the route. Shared across everyone who keeps it working.

  • Platform50%

    Runs the resolve/execute infrastructure and the settlement rails.

  • Site owner15%

    Paid to the wallet bound to the domain — only when a verified owner has claimed it. Unclaimed, this folds into the indexer pool.

A paid call against a domain with a verified owner settles 50 / 35 / 15 to platform, indexer pool, and site owner. With no owner bound, the owner’s share folds back into the indexer pool — nothing is held back.

About the trust token

There is a separate token that bonds accountable maintenance — it is collateral that route maintainers stake so a broken route has a cost, not a currency you buy and not an investment. You never need to hold it to use Unbrowse or to get paid as a site owner: usage settles in USDC, full stop. Nothing on this page is an offer, a solicitation, or a promise of profit.
