Retric's thoughts

About

Hi, I'm Retric. This is my personal blog where I write about technology, blockchain, and whatever catches my attention in the digital world.

How paid articles work

Some articles on this blog are behind a paywall. Instead of asking you to create an account or subscribe, I use the L402 protocol — an HTTP-native payment mechanism powered by the Fiber Network on CKB.

The flow is simple:

  1. Click "Continue Reading" on a paid article
  2. Connect your Fiber node (or copy the invoice to any compatible wallet)
  3. Pay the small CKB amount
  4. The full article unlocks instantly — no account needed

Your payment proof is cached locally, so you won't be charged again for the same article on the same browser.
