Powered by World ID on World Chain & Base

The internet can’t tell fake traffic from real demand.

The Status Quo

APIs are flooded by automated agents. Rate limits block legitimate users while sophisticated bots drain resources.

The Result

You pay for inference, compute, and bandwidth for traffic that will never convert.

Make your API human-aware.

01

Add Glide middleware

Install the package and add one line of code to your existing API routes. Designed for Next.js, Express, and standard Node environments.

02

Verify with World ID

Glide silently intercepts requests and demands cryptographic proof of humanity. It integrates directly with the World Chain settlement layer.

03

Monetize or allow access

Verified humans pass free. Bots and agents hit a paywall and pay per request seamlessly through their agentic wallets.

One line of code.

Wrap your existing architecture with the Glide middleware. It handles strict World ID verification natively without disrupting your stack.

01import { glideMiddleware } from '@0xshae/glide-gateway';
02
03// Protect any route
04app.use(glideMiddleware({ requireWorldId: true }));

Designed for modern human infrastructure.

APIs

Protect public endpoints from aggressive scraping, ensuring stable availability.

AI Tools

Gate access to costly inference models behind cryptographic proof of humanity.

SaaS Platforms

Prevent creation of automated accounts and abuse of free tier compute resources.

Data Providers

Charge non-human agents automatically via native x402 settlement rails.
