Dwell adds sponsored status-bar messages to Claude Code, paying users in USDC
Overview
Dwell, a solo-built tool, adds one plain-text sponsored line to the status bar of Claude Code while the agent works.
Its creator says half of what advertisers pay goes to users, in USDC on Stellar. The service is live on testnet.
The creator's announcement on X also says the tool does not track users or read their code. The post is the only report on the launch so far, and the claims about tracking and payouts are the creator's own.
