x402 rumour
The internet runs on information — but in the world of crypto, finance, and AI, information asymmetry is alpha. Getting early access to the right data, insight, or whisper can make the difference between a winning trade and a missed opportunity.
Now imagine a world where instead of paying for expensive subscriptions or gated memberships, you could pay per rumour, per signal, or per data point — instantly, trustlessly, and on-chain.
That’s the vision behind x402 Rumour, built on top of the x402 payment protocol and https://rumour.app.
Your Opportunity to Pay-Per-Signal
Whether you’re building a perpetual DEX, a DeFi analytics tool, a SocialFi product, or a data aggregation agent, x402 Rumour gives you on-demand access to verified, timestamped “rumours” — the signals that move markets before they become mainstream narratives.
Each rumour is a self-contained micro-intelligence unit: a headline, a short description, a credibility score, and on-chain metadata that proves its authenticity. You don’t subscribe. You don’t commit monthly. You simply pay for what you read — or even more granularly, what you extract.
x402 Rumour turns attention into currency and information into infrastructure.
How x402 Rumour Works
x402 Rumour is powered by the x402 protocol, the HTTP 402 standard for blockchain-native payments. Here’s how the flow works:
Discover Rumours Browse the latest trending rumours, signals, and whispers across DeFi, AI, gaming, and social ecosystems on rumour.app. Each entry shows a teaser and metadata — but the full details are gated behind a payment wall.
Pay with x402 When you click to unlock a rumour, the app triggers an HTTP 402 “Payment Required” response. Using the x402 standard, your wallet signs a one-time, gasless authorization (EIP-3009) to pay the micro-fee on-chain.
Instant Unlock Once the transaction settles, the content is revealed instantly — no subscriptions, no intermediaries, no account management. Each interaction is a direct value exchange between user and platform.
It’s pay-per-signal, not paywall.
Why Pay-Per-Signal Matters
Traditional data subscriptions are static — you pay monthly or yearly for content you may never use. But in the real-time, algorithmic economy, attention is scarce and information is dynamic.
x402 Rumour embraces this shift by making data programmable and atomic:
Programmable — AI agents or bots can autonomously purchase rumours as part of their trading or research workflow.
Atomic — Each payment corresponds to a single access action, fully verifiable on-chain.
Fair — Creators and curators of rumours get paid per access, creating a direct economy for insight.
This model unlocks a new market for intelligence, where every signal, leak, or verified speculation becomes a tradable unit of attention.
Use Cases: Where x402 Rumour Fits
DeFi Builders: Pay-per-signal market data for DEX strategies or alpha discovery.
AI Agents: Autonomous systems purchasing contextual insights before executing trades or writing analyses.
SocialFi Products: Let users unlock premium gossip threads or speculative narratives with a single on-chain payment.
Data Platforms: Integrate x402 to sell access to datasets or signals without managing subscriptions or keys.
Every rumour becomes an API call with a price tag.
The Future of On-Chain Information Markets
With x402 Rumour, rumour.app demonstrates what the future of the internet might look like — an ecosystem where information is modular, payments are frictionless, and access is priced dynamically by demand.
No intermediaries. No accounts. Just signals and payments, running at machine speed.
As the x402 protocol becomes the standard for HTTP-based blockchain payments, apps like rumour.app are leading the way — proving that on-chain commerce isn’t just for tokens or NFTs, but also for knowledge itself.
In the agent economy, data is money — and x402 Rumour is how you’ll pay for it.
