Summary of Economic Advantages
These platforms make microtransactions economical through several structural changes:
Bypassing Card Fees: By using stablecoins on L2 blockchains, they eliminate the fixed fees (e.g., $0.30 + 3%) that make credit cards unsuitable for transactions worth only a few cents.
Programmable Money: Payments are integrated directly into the software workflow, allowing AI to make instant, autonomous, and 24/7 transactions.

@dave Would you consider the hosted API itself to be a critical element of what the index is doing for the community? One could make the case that the open-source code for anyone to run it themselves is the better use of your time than maintaining a free service for people who’re never going to appreciate the v4v model.
