Where crypto protocols meet retail — mid-prompt
AI is thinking.
You're earning.
Billions of times a day, the world stares at "Thinking…" PENDING runs a live USDC auction inside that wait — on ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity. Crypto protocols bid for the moment. You keep half.
What's the safest way to earn yield on $25k of USDC?

PENDING watches exactly one thing: whether a model is generating. It cannot read your prompts, your answers, or your history — the code never touches the conversation. read the policy

Paid in USDC. That's the deal.
No surveys, no tasks, no selling your data. You were going to stare at "Thinking…" anyway — now half of what advertisers pay for that moment lands with you.

Google banned crypto ads. Meta restricted them. KOLs are farmed. Meanwhile, billions of times a day, real people type real questions into an AI — how to bridge, where to earn yield, whether to buy — and then stare at three pulsing dots, doing nothing. That wait is the most underpriced attention market on the internet. We built the exchange for it.

Waiting is now
a game you can win.
Every wait pays. But the protocol fees that don't go to you or your wallet don't go to us either — they fill a pot that one AI wait wins every single day.

No tickets, no deposits, no loss. Every five-second think you sit through is one entry. The longer the reasoning model grinds, the better your odds — the first time in history a slow AI is good news.

Impressions are cheap; intent is not. A tap from someone who just asked an AI the question your protocol answers is the strongest signal in retail crypto — priced and settled accordingly.

The intent Google won't sell.
With receipts.
Google and Meta won't sell you crypto intent. KOLs sell you screenshots. PENDING sells you the exact moment a human asked the question your protocol answers — with a signed onchain receipt for every impression served, and refunds for any receipt that doesn't verify.

Bulletproof
by construction.
Crypto advertising dies by lawsuit, not by competition. So the rules aren't a policy page — they're enforced in code, on every creative, before it can ever serve.
--policy no-advice
Facts allowed. Advice impossible.
Every creative passes an automated linter before it touches the auction. "Buy," "invest," "guaranteed," "you should" — rejected at submission, not after a complaint. Rates and fees with sources only, then a human review pass on top.
"Guaranteed 100x — buy now" → rejected: advice/guarantee
"12.1% on sUSDe today. Terms apply." → cleared
--policy always-labeled
Never disguised as the answer.
Every unit carries the Ad tag and a not-financial-advice notice. The ad lives in the wait, visually separate from the response — it never imitates the model, never injects into the conversation, never pretends to be the answer.
--policy no-custody
We never touch user funds.
Rewards accrue as Pending Points — no cash value until redemption launches onchain. No deposits, no wallets to connect, no claims on anything you own. Advertisers fund vaults; users only ever receive.
--policy vetted-advertisers
No rugs. Vetted or rejected.
Every advertiser passes diligence before a single impression serves: verified entity or doxxed team, audited contracts or 6+ months live, onchain treasury provenance, no presales, no memecoins under 30 days, no "guaranteed" anything. One scam ad would poison the whole network — so the bar is brutal on purpose.
--policy rug-bond
Advertisers post a rug bond.
Campaigns stake an extra 20% in escrow for 90 days. If a partner rugs, the bond doesn't come back to them — it's distributed to every user who saw their ads. Skin in the game, priced in USDC.
--policy fair-sweepstakes
Golden Block, by the book.
No purchase necessary, a free entry route, published official rules, 18+, geo-gated where required. It's a promotional sweepstakes and it's run like one — the fun survives the lawyers.
Bid on the question.
Never the person.
Intent is classified on the device, and only a coarse category ever leaves it. No prompt logging, no profiles, no cookies — just the honest signal of what was asked.
See the targeting spec--match intent
By what was asked
A yield protocol bids on "where should I park my USDC." An L2 bids on "cheapest way to bridge." A perps venue bids on "should I long ETH." The question is the keyword — richer than anything search ever sold.
--match surface
By where they think
ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity — and the long agent runs where one wait lasts minutes, not seconds. Deep-research sessions are the new prime-time slots.
--match depth
By how hard it thinks
A 5-second autocomplete is one impression. A 4-minute reasoning run is forty-eight. Premium models mean premium waits — your spend scales with real dwell, not estimates.
--privacy default
The prompt never leaves
Intent classification runs entirely on-device. The auction request carries one coarse category — "yield question," "bridge question" — and nothing else. Your conversation stays yours. Audited monthly.
From bid to wallet
in one think.

Questions you're
already typing.
Is this against the AI sites' terms of service?
PENDING modifies your own browser view, with your consent, and pays you — the same posture as coupon and cashback extensions used by hundreds of millions of people for a decade. We never touch the AI providers' servers, content, or ads, and the unit never imitates the model's answer. The full security model ships inside the extension.
Which countries can get paid?
Payouts are USDC on Base — if a wallet works in your country, payouts work in your country. No bank account, no payment-processor geography, no "sorry, not available in your region." Email first, wallet whenever you're ready.
When do I actually get paid?
Monthly, once your balance crosses 10 USDC. Below that it rolls over and never expires. Rewards accrue as Pending Points during Season Zero and convert at redemption launch — no cash value until then, said plainly.
Which AI sites does it work on?
ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Grok, DeepSeek, Copilot, Mistral and Poe — desktop Chrome. Sites change their interfaces without asking us; if a surface breaks, the report link is in the extension popup and fixes ship fast.
Can you read my chats?
No — structurally. The code watches one thing: whether the model is generating. One permission, no tracking, and exactly one disclosed network call per ad shown (campaign id, seconds on screen, random install id — nothing else). It's all in PRIVACY.md inside the extension.
How do I advertise?
The bid market — write your creative, pass the live compliance linter, pick a tier, done in ten minutes. Fund in USDC on Base or request a fiat invoice. Five founding slots, one per category.
