# FEP-8c3f: Web Monetization
## Summary
Web Monetization federation via [ActivityPub].
## History
The ability to transfer money has been a long-standing omission from the web platform. As a result, the web suffers from a flood of advertising and corrupt business models. Web Monetization provides an open, native, efficient, and automatic way to compensate creators, pay for API calls, and support crucial web infrastructure.
[Web Monetization] is being proposed as a W3C standard at [the Web Platform Incubator Community Group](https://discourse.wicg.io/t/proposal-web-monetization-a-new-revenue-model-for-the-web/3785).
## Requirements
[FEP-8c3f] Correct @context with the proper GS namespace, and elaborate about the value of the attributed (as it was asked about in the SocialHub discussion)
2022-03-20 02:16:12 +00:00
In GNU social this is [implemented on a plugin](https://code.undefinedhackers.net/GNUsocial/gnu-social/src/branch/v3/plugins/WebMonetization/WebMonetization.php#L243) using an extra property `gs:webmonetizationWallet` on the actor object.

## About the value of `gs:webmonetizationWallet`
That string is the same as the example one in [Web Monetization specification](https://webmonetization.org/specification.html#web-monetization-meta-tag)
and it consists on a [payment pointer](https://paymentpointers.org/#syntax/).
> Payment Pointers start with a `$` character to distinguish them from other identifiers and make it obvious that they are related to payments. To convert a Payment Pointer to a URL the $ is replaced with the standard prefix of a secure URL, `https://`.
