Big meeting:
TPAC 2025 (Calendar)

This session will cover the current state of different projects under the Web Monetization work, partnerships, and future direction.

With Web Monetization, we’re adding a new, seamless way for users to support the content they love — complementing existing models with real-time, streaming micropayments. The Web Monetization Extension makes it effortless for users to contribute on their terms, while giving content owners more opportunities to engage their audiences and diversify revenue streams.

We propose to structure the breakout around these main focus areas:

  1. WM Extension – the browser extension implementation of the Web Monetization spec: status, adoption, compatibility, limitations.
  2. WM Publisher Tools – the toolset for publishers/content owners (banner, link-tag, widget generator etc) to adopt Web Monetization.
  3. WM Flows Spec – Walk through the flows as defined (e.g. how authorization happens, how the payment session is established, how streaming is maintained or rotated) and mention interactions between user agents, wallets, and publishers.
  4. WM In-Browser Implementation / Prototype Demo – progress toward native or built-in browser support (vs only extension), including prototypes, engagements with browser vendors.
  5. WM Standard / Spec Status – the specification itself: where it stands in the standards process, outstanding issues, interop, ecosystem feedback, next steps
  6. All things feedback
