Introducing Subblogs — Your Own .nibgate.xyz Blog, Live in Minutes
We built Subblogs so creators can own their content and get paid directly — powered by Circle Gateway, ARC testnet, and the open Nibgate SDK.
Every creator we know has the same problem. You've got content. People want to read it, watch it, listen to it. But actually getting paid for it — directly, without a platform taking a cut — is way harder than it should be.
So we built Subblogs.
What is Subblogs?
Subblogs is a full-featured blog platform that lives on your own *.nibgate.xyz subdomain — like benedict.nibgate.xyz, xwillie.nibgate.xyz, elite.nibgate.xyz, and more.
We handle the hosting, the domain, the storage, and the payments. You just write.
What can you publish?
Articles — a rich markdown editor with inline images, cover photos, tables, and embeds. Free or paid.
Photos — multi-image galleries with captions and grid layouts. Upload multiple at once, set a price for the set.
Music — upload tracks with cover art. Built-in player. Optional pay-to-play.
Video — paste a YouTube link, get an embedded player. Gate it behind a price if you want.
Every post can be free or paid. You set the price in USDC. Readers pay straight to your wallet.
How payments actually work
Under the hood, every Subblog uses Circle Gateway on ARC testnet — the same infrastructure that powers the open Nibgate SDK.
When a reader pays to unlock a post, they approve USDC directly from their wallet. The gateway processes the payment, and the premium content unlocks instantly on the same page. No redirects, no third-party checkout, no emailing PDFs.
This is the x402 standard — a protocol where payment and content delivery happen in one round trip. It works for both humans and AI agents.
Creators don't need to know any of this works. You set a price, hit publish, and the SDK handles the rest. But if you're a developer, the entire stack is open source and available as @nibgate/sdk on npm.
How it works
- We spin up your subdomain and configure everything
- You log in at
yoursite.nibgate.xyz/admin - Write, upload, publish — free or paid
- Readers connect their wallet, pay USDC, and unlock your content instantly
- You withdraw your earnings from the gateway to your wallet
No gas fees for readers. No monthly platform fee. No algorithm deciding who sees your work.
Why we built this
Most creator platforms are walled gardens. You build an audience on Substack, YouTube, or Instagram — and they control the monetization, the algorithm, and your relationship with your readers.
Subblogs is different. Your content lives on your domain. You set the price. Readers pay you directly. We're just the infrastructure.
We also believe AI agents should be able to discover and pay for quality content. Every Subblog post works with x402 unlock flows — so both humans and autonomous agents can access your work.
Who is it for?
- Writers with newsletters, essays, or reports
- Photographers selling galleries
- Musicians dropping tracks and albums
- Videographers with premium content
- Anyone who creates digital work and wants to get paid directly
