Micropayments are transactions valued in cents or fractions of a cent. Moony’s extreme divisibility and near-zero transaction fees make them viable at global scale, unlocking entirely new economic behaviors that were previously impossible or uneconomical.

​
Why It Matters

The inability to move small amounts of value efficiently has shaped the digital economy in fundamental ways. Entire categories of commerce, monetization, and exchange remain unexplored because the cost of transacting exceeds the value being transferred. Micropayments are a missing building block of the modern internet economy.
Subscriptions

The impracticality of per-use billing forces consumers into subscription models, paying for more than they actually use. This all-or-nothing approach creates barriers to entry, limits access to content and services, and results in wasted spending on unused features or content.

Exclusionary

Entire categories of applications, such as real-time metering, per-unit API calls, or machine-to-machine commerce, remain underdeveloped because payment systems cannot handle the volume or economics they require. These use cases demand high-frequency, low-value transactions that traditional payment infrastructure cannot support economically, leaving significant innovation opportunities unrealized.

​
The Opportunity

Moony is uniquely positioned to enable micropayments at scale. Its extreme divisibility enables transactions measured in fractions of a cent, and Solana’s high throughput and near-zero fees ensure the cost of transacting remains negligible relative to the value being transferred. This is the foundation that makes real-time, granular monetization possible, enabling sustainable small-value transfers that expand markets, drive innovation, and open the digital economy to all.

Pay-Per-Use

Enable true pay-per-use access to content like articles, videos, AI queries, or software features without forcing users into recurring subscriptions. Creators gain new ways to monetize individual pieces of work while consumers pay only for what they use.

Streaming Payments

Transfer value continuously in real time for ongoing services like media consumption, cloud computing, or API access. Payment flows automatically match usage patterns, enabling dynamic billing models that only exist when the cost of each transaction is negligible.

M2M Commerce

Automate the exchange of resources like bandwidth, energy, data, or compute power in precise micro-increments between machines, devices, or services. With sub-cent transaction fees and near-zero latency, machines and AI agents can negotiate and pay for resources autonomously, opening new models for agentic commerce, IoT ecosystems, resource sharing, and decentralized infrastructure.

By combining scarce, divisible digital cash with low‑cost, high‑throughput settlement, Moony turns micropayments from an abstract ideal into a practical, composable building block for a decentralized, internet‑native economy.
Solana network fees for MNY transfers typically cost less than $0.0001, making even sub-cent transactions economically viable. These fees are paid in SOL (Solana’s native token) and are separate from any MNY being transferred. See Solana Transaction Fees for details.
