the core

Pay per use, on-chain, in fractions of a cent

Tollgate is a creator nanopayment settlement core on Arc. Every integration below settles through the same on-chain rail — the Forum FeeRouter at 0xeff9bc359e8f2a5eabce55af3f1bb24f98eabf59 — so a writer cited by an AI, a photographer whose photo is downloaded, an Immich or Jellyfin operator, a PeerTube creator whose video is unlocked, and a WordPress publisher whose post is opened can all attach to the same settlement plumbing.

Seed/demo activity is not counted as external traction

These counters are derived from the live local ledgers and source registry labels. Seed sources stay visible for demo reproducibility, but they are separated from external and internal-test sources.

why one rail

Subscriptions exist because the old per-event payment was too small to clear. Nanopayments on Arc remove that floor, so the real unit — a citation, a download — becomes sellable on its own. Build the settlement core once; attach it to any community that already has an audience.
