// the attention marketplace for ai wait states
Your AI is thinking.
You’re getting paid.
Kvar turns the dead seconds of every AI run into income. Relevant, non-intrusive sponsorships appear while your agent works — and 90% of the revenue lands in your pocket.
◆ open-source extension ◆ no credit card ◆ 60-second setup ◆ payouts from $10
[01] the dead seconds
A captive, high-income, tool-buying audience — staring at a single line, dozens of times a day. That attention has always been valuable. Kvar is the first marketplace that pays the person producing it.
[02] how it works
Install to income in three steps.
Install the extension
One-click install for VS Code, Cursor, or JetBrains. Sign in with GitHub. You are earning before your coffee cools — under 60 seconds, no credit card.
Wait. That’s it.
While your AI thinks, a relevant sponsorship fills the dead seconds. Zero behavior change, zero interruptions — the slot only exists when you are already waiting.
Get paid — globally
Cash out through Stripe or Pix from just $10, or route every cent to the open-source projects you depend on. You are the publisher. You own the inventory.
[03] for developers
A passive income faucet.
Zero behavior change.
You are the publisher. You own the inventory, the rules, and the off switch. Kvar just pays you for seconds that were already being spent.
✓Category blocklist
No crypto, no gambling, no recruiting — entirely your call.
✓Frequency cap slider
You decide the ad density. One slider, hard limit.
✓Focus mode
One keystroke pauses ads (and earnings). Deep work stays sacred.
✓Per-surface opt-in
Choose exactly where ads may appear. Nowhere else.
✓Donate mode
Route earnings to the OSS projects you actually use.
✓90–95% revenue share
The highest split in advertising. High-attention publishers reach 95%.
Based on $0.10–$0.40 per qualified wait state. High-attention publishers earn a 95% share.

[04] for advertisers
The most concentrated developer attention on Earth.
Reach developers in the exact moment they are between thoughts — inside the editor, matched to the stack they are using right now.
✓Stack-detected targeting
Languages and frameworks detected from the workspace — not third-party cookies.
✓Time-of-run premium
Long AI runs mean long dwell time. Bid for the slots that hold attention.
✓Verified impressions only
You pay solely for verified, viewable impressions. Nothing else.
✓Full attribution kit
UTM auto-tagging, promo codes, and a conversion pixel out of the box.
✓Provably fair delivery
Cryptographically signed receipts for every impression you buy.
✓No minimum spend
Daily budget control from dollar one. Creative review in 2 hours.
[05] transparency as a feature
The only ad network where both sides can audit every cent.
Open-source client
The extension source is public. Inspect what it sends. The telemetry schema structurally cannot carry code or prompts.
Verifiable receipts
Every impression is cryptographically signed. Advertisers verify what they bought; developers verify what they were credited.
Local inspection log
A local “what was sent” log you can open anytime. Full visibility into every event the extension transmits.

[07] objections, answered
You’re a developer.
You have questions.
Good. Skepticism is the correct default for anything that touches your editor.
Can Kvar read my code or prompts?+
No — structurally, it cannot. The extension is open source and its telemetry schema is physically incapable of carrying code or prompts. A local inspection log shows every event ever transmitted; run it whenever you like.
Will it interrupt me or slow down my editor?+
Sponsorships render only during AI wait states — moments you are already idle. Nothing competes with you while you type. Focus mode pauses everything with one keystroke, and a frequency cap slider keeps density wherever you set it.
How much will I actually earn?+
It depends on your stack and how often you run AI. Qualified wait states pay roughly $0.10–$0.40 each, with 90% of revenue going to you (95% in the high-attention tier). Heavy agent users see the upper range — try the calculator above.
How do payouts work?+
Stripe, Pix, and more, with a $10 minimum and a real-time dashboard. Prefer altruism? Donate mode routes earnings directly to OSS projects you choose.
What kinds of ads will I see?+
Developer-relevant tools matched to your detected stack. Every creative passes human review, and your category blocklist (crypto, gambling, recruiting, anything you choose) is enforced at auction time.
