How It all started

Edanuso Consult was one out of forty-seven successful applicants who received a grant for web monetization. The announcement was made by Grant for the Web on 18 January 2022 on behalf of the Interledger Foundation. The grant project seeks to monetize the use of Completely Automated Public Turing Test to tell Humans and Computer Apart (CAPTCHA), a web authentication system, during online transactions. A CAPTCHA system using accented characters developed by the team will be used to test various Web Monetization models. The team will integrate Web Monetization API into the CAPTCHA and deploy on a website. A rewarded product demonstration and survey campaign will be done to allow users interact with the monetized CAPTCHA system. Data will be collected on user’s activity such as keystrokes, response time and any related security issues. The analysis will provide insight into monetization of authentication systems such as CAPTCHA. Edanuso Consult is an information technology and management consulting firm focused on developing localized technology solutions for businesses and educational organizations.
