Why Arc Wins: Margin Analysis
Payment processors take ~30¢ per transaction. Ethereum gas costs $0.50+. This makes sub-cent micropayments economically impossible. See how Arc changes the game.
| Payment Method | Fee / call | Viable at $0.001? |
|---|---|---|
| Stripe/Card | $0.30 + 2.9% | ❌ Fee > Payment |
| Ethereum Gas | ~$0.50-$5.00 | ❌ Fee > Payment |
| Solana | ~$0.00025 | ✅ Maybe |
| Arc + x402 | ~$0.000001 | ✅ YES! 1000x cheaper |
The Profit Logic Demonstration
If 1,000 users call the weather API 10 times a day:
Traditional Gateway Fees:$3,000 LOST
Arc + x402 Fees:$0.01 PAID = 100% PROFIT
