This work discusses a methodology for implementation and feasibility of replacing traditional CAPTCHA mechanisms with Nano(XNO) cryptocurrency micropayments as a win-win solution and leverages the decentralized and secure nature of cryptocurrencies to introduce a micropayment-based authentication system. This approach not only enhances security by adding a financial barrier for automated bots but also provides a more seamless and efficient user experience. The benefits of this approach include reducing the burden on users while creating a socio-economic model that incentivizes internet service providers and content creators, even when accessed by bots. Furthermore, the integration of XNO micropayments could potentially contribute to the broader adoption and acceptance of digital currencies in everyday online transactions.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2402.06649v3","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2402.06649v3.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"replacing-captcha-with-xno-micropayments","repo_url":"https://github.com/sujanavan/pps","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
