Xpack - Intalls that pays! Finally
Over 2.6B+ npm downloads happen every week across more than 32M developers and businesses, yet npm provides zero native monetization for package authors. This leaves hundreds of thousands of useful developer tools and open source libraries without a direct way to generate revenue. With an estimated 480K+ potential paid packages, there is a massive untapped opportunity for developers to sustainably monetize the tools they build and maintain.
Xpack solves this by enabling crypto native monetization for npm packages directly at install time. Package authors connect a wallet, add a small configuration and preinstall script, and publish normally to npm. When a user installs the package, they are prompted to complete an on chain payment using FLOW on Flow EVM or USDC on Starknet, after which the installation continues automatically. Xpack connects traditional npm distribution with on chain payments, allowing developers to set pricing models such as per device, per user, or subscription while tracking installs and revenue from a unified dashboard, all without building custom backends or payment infrastructure. 🚀
