The AI's dead air,
paid to you.
tickr is a Chrome extension. When ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude pauses to think, it replaces that single “thinking” line with one sponsored line — and pays you USDC on Base for the seconds you were waiting anyway. It never reads your prompts or your conversations.
One line, while it thinks.
Detects the wait
A reasoning model can think for 10–60 seconds. tickr watches only for that generating state — the stop button, the thinking shimmer — never the text of your prompt or the reply.
One line, in place
It replaces that single thinking line with one sponsored line. The moment the answer starts streaming, the ad is gone and the page is exactly as it was.
Paid in USDC
Advertisers fund campaigns in USDC; the highest eligible funded browser campaign fills the line. A flat 50/50 split accrues to you and withdraws to your wallet.
It never reads your chat.
This is enforced in code, not just promised. The part of tickr that watches the page can only check whether elements exist — it has no path to read text, and the messages it can send are typed so they cannot carry your words.
Prompts never read
Detection checks for the existence of UI elements, not their contents.
Nothing stored or sent
No conversation text ever leaves the page. The only id is your wallet key.
Always labelled
Every line is marked Sponsored · Displayed by tickr. Skippable, always.
