The Second Era of Value

Once, HTTP 402 powered access-based micropayments. When AI made information abundant, value moved beyond knowledge. Access stopped being the frontier. Existence did.

Each action issues a mock micropayment + a receipt.

402 (legacy) ➜ 402² (existence)

Legacy 402 response example (pay for access). Then 402² adds a presence-based reward.

Legacy of 402

402 — The Access Age (2024)

Micropayments unlocked digital access.

Ad Age — Data Exploitation (2030)

Users became the product. Identity extraction at scale.

402² — The After-Data Era (2042)

Existence became currency. Presence is sovereign.
