Charon is a nanopayment reading platform for webnovels and manga. Readers deposit USDC once and pay per finished chapter, with the deterministic charge computed in lib/pricing.ts and settled to creator wallets on Arc via x402 through app/api/settle — pay once per chapter, re-reads free. A roster of agents in lib/agents runs the economics: pricing.ts sets base chapter prices on upload, repricing.ts adjusts them hourly from demand and momentum signals, and budget.ts tracks reading pace and top-ups. The autonomous reader agent (lib/agents/reader-agent.ts) carries a learned taste profile, a weekly budget, and its own on-chain wallet funded through lib/agent-wallet.ts, discovering and paying for chapters on the reader's behalf. Pre-release subscriptions and discounted series passes round out the payment modes, backed by Supabase with a companion mobile app in mobile/.
