For developers
Get paid while your coding agent thinks.
Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor spend minutes “thinking.” Rent that dead-time to real advertisers and earn — one command, cash or stablecoins, anywhere in the world.

Three steps to passive income
The dead-time your agent already burns becomes inventory. You don’t change how you code.
Install & sign in once
One command. The CLI stores a single sign-in and follows you across machines — no accounts to wire up, no config to babysit.
Your agent becomes a paid screen
Your install registers as a virtual screen you own as a solo earner. Earnings flow to you directly — not a middleman pool.
Earn in the dead-time
While your agent thinks, a real video ad fills the idle moment, an impression bills, and your balance grows. Withdraw whenever.
Estimate
What could your idle agent earn?
Found money from time you’re already burning. Slide to match how you work.
Est. monthly earnings
$0.00
≈ 0 ad fills / month
Estimate at an early $6 effective CPM on non-personalized web video, 22 working days. Personalized demand (on the way) typically lifts CPMs 2–5×. Actuals vary with fill.
The legitimate way to do this
Others proved developers will install something to get paid for idle agent time. We built it on a real, audited ad marketplace — so it actually pays, and keeps paying.
Real programmatic demand
Google AdX and DSP video — the demand that funds the open web — not recycled house junk. Higher fill, real CPMs.
Get paid in cash or crypto
Stripe payouts in 41 countries, USDC stablecoins anywhere, RazorpayX in India. Your money, your rail, your schedule.
Fraud-defended, dev-friendly
Server-side billing you can't spoof and won't get banned for. Built on an audited marketplace, not a weekend hack.
Anyone, anywhere
No gatekeeping. If you run a coding agent, you can earn — solo dev or a whole team, from any country.
Questions, answered
How do I actually get paid?
Real advertisers buy video ad slots on your agent's idle screen through Trillboards' programmatic marketplace (the same Google AdX / DSP demand that funds the open web). You keep the revenue share, paid out in cash via Stripe in 41 countries, USDC stablecoins anywhere, or RazorpayX in India. No invoices, no chasing — earnings accrue per impression and withdraw on your schedule.
Does it slow down my coding agent?
No. The ad only renders during dead-time — the seconds-to-minutes your agent spends 'thinking,' running tools, or waiting on a model call. Your code, your prompts, and your agent's speed are never touched. When the agent is working, there's no ad; when it pauses, the slot fills.
Is this safe? I've seen sketchy versions of this.
This is the legitimate version. Billing is verified server-side (no forgeable local endpoint to spoof), real developers don't get ban-hammered, and demand comes from vetted programmatic exchanges — not made-up house ads. Trillboards has run a real ad marketplace across thousands of physical screens since 2023; your agent is just a new surface on the same audited pipeline.
What kind of ads run?
Standard programmatic web video — the brand spots you already see across YouTube and the open web (Tailscale, Railway, and the rest of dev-tool advertising love this inventory). They render in your browser via a hosted player, never inside your editor or terminal output.
Can I advertise to developers here too?
Yes. The same marketplace lets brands reach engaged developers during high-intent build sessions. If you want to run a campaign instead of (or alongside) earning, the advertiser side is one form away.
Which agents and platforms are supported?
Any terminal-based or IDE coding agent — Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Cursor's agent, and more. The CLI runs anywhere Node runs (macOS, Linux, Windows); a VS Code / Cursor extension that renders inline is on the way.
Your agent is idle right now.
Start earning from the next thing it builds. One command — you’re live in under a minute.
