Digitalization is reaching a new tipping point: AI agents are increasingly taking over access to web content and data. What worked for decades with advertising and subscriptions is coming to an end! Companies now face the challenge of finding new ways to monetize their data and services while simultaneously controlling access by agents.
The challenge: Machines and AI agents instead of humans as users Since June 2026, AI agents have been responsible for more than half of all internet traffic for the first time. They consume content and data efficiently — but without return visits or advertising impact. For companies, this means: The traditional web value chain is at risk of eroding.
In plain terms: Generating traffic through AI is roughly 750 times harder with OpenAI than it used to be with Google, and with Anthropic it is approximately 30,000 times more difficult. Your own knowledge flows into the model, but the return value in the form of visitors simply doesn't materialize.
The answer: Monetization and governance through new infrastructure With the Monetization Gateway and the x402 protocol, a payment infrastructure is being created for the first time that enables companies to price and control machine access to data and services. Companies can activate pay-per-crawl, set prices, and generate revenue — without complex subscription models or advertising concepts.
