Quantum Internet

The human internet, priced for people

AI can post and scrape at zero cost. The Quantum Internet flips the economics: every view and post costs a few micro-dollars, so humans barely notice and bots can’t flood the web.

Wallet proves humanity—no CAPTCHA, no SMS.

Quantum-safe rails keep identity and payments durable.

Why it matters now

  • Generative AI can produce infinite junk; only cost pressure scales.
  • Wallet presence + fees = real users, not rented captcha farms.
  • Post-quantum signatures and validator-sharded 2FA protect the channel long term.

Micro-fees that price out bots

Publishing or browsing costs pennies per month for people, but quickly becomes uneconomical for large botnets. Site owners choose the floor; users see and approve the fee in-wallet before anything loads.

What users see

  • A fee preview: “This article costs $0.0014”
  • One-tap confirm in the QP wallet; no forms, no ads.
  • Refunds or rebates if the creator wants to subsidize readers.

Flow at a glance

Browse

Page shows the micro-fee; wallet confirms; content unlocks.

Publish

Creator pays a tiny post fee, sets per-view price (positive or negative to incentivize readers).

Gate

Require wallet presence and minimum price to enter or post. Bots get priced out; humans glide through.

Why price gates beat filters

Moderation filters keep chasing smarter bots. Economics does not drift: when every interaction costs a real token, automated abuse loses its margin. The Quantum Internet keeps the human web readable by attaching a tangible price to bandwidth, storage, and attention.

That also frees builders from ad tech and cookie walls. Pages can be fast, private, and still fund themselves with transparent micro-fees instead of trackers. Readers choose when to pay; creators choose when to subsidize. The result is a quieter feed and a healthier signal-to-noise ratio.

A practical example

  • A blog sets $0.001 to read; wallet shows it up front.
  • A comment requires wallet presence and $0.0005 to post.
  • For a launch week, the blog rebates readers: net cost $0.
  • Bots attempting 1M posts face real cost; spam collapses.
