Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview
About this plugin
A-Pay Web3 AI Paywall is an HTTP 402 Web3 micropayment gatekeeper for WordPress & WooCommerce that allows website owners to monetize autonomous AI crawlers, scrapers, and LLM bots (OpenAI GPTBot, Anthropic ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, ByteSpider, and Meta-ExternalAgent) on Base Layer 2.
🌟 Key Features
100% Free for Real Humans: Human visitors on desktop and mobile web browsers (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge) browse your site completely free without any paywalls, popups, or captchas.
SEO Protected: Googlebot, Bingbot, DuckDuckBot, and other search engines are automatically whitelisted so your search rankings and indexing remain completely intact.
HTTP 402 Web3 Challenge Gate: Autonomous AI crawlers are presented with a cryptographic HTTP 402 Payment Required challenge specifying Base Layer 2 settlement details under EIP-712 standards.
Voucher & Nonce Verification: Validates incoming Authorization headers, strictly checks payment amounts against required pricing, verifies EVM address formats, and enforces single-use session nonces to prevent replay attacks.
Dual Settlement Rails: Accept USDC (Circle native) or $APAY protocol tokens on Base Mainnet (Chain ID 8453) or Base Sepolia Testnet (Chain ID 84532).
Instant WordPress Setup: Zero complex coding required. Simply install, activate, paste your Base wallet address, and your content is protected immediately.
