The roadmap
We start with reliable payments for apps and creators — then move, step by step, toward open rules anyone can check, money that travels with you, and a payment layer the network owns together. Payments have to work before they can become more open, so the path is deliberate — and future stops are clearly marked as future, not shipped.
The shared checkout, subscriptions, products, tickets, payouts, and app fees for Atmosphere apps — with Supper as the first app using it in practice. One creator setup works across apps, and every payment leaves an open receipt that can be checked independently and can't be quietly rewritten.
More Atmosphere apps plug into ATM, so creators reuse one payment setup across more places and apps sell products, memberships, tickets, and services without rebuilding payments each time. Your audience and history follow the account you own — not one app's walls.
atcash is ATM's consumer app — the everyday way for anyone in the Atmosphere to hold and move their own money. Pay any person by their @handle (not just creators or apps), hold a balance, and spend it across apps with lower fees than a card — and take it out whenever you want. The balance is yours, and it follows you.
Visit atcash Some payments aren't a person at a checkout — they're software. ATM is building rails for machine-speed payments: paying for infrastructure as it's used, streaming payments that run continuously, and autonomous agents that pay for what they need — all on the same ledger and receipts as everything else.
More of how a payment works — a recurring contribution, an app paying out a fee it owes, a service charging for exactly what it used — moves onto clear, shared rules anyone can check, with less of any single company in the middle. ATM stays the honest record-keeper. We'll ship each step carefully, only where it's safe and clear.
A payment relies on more than a creator and a supporter — the apps people use, the hosting that keeps accounts online, and the moderation and shared services that keep the open social web running. The aim is to let value reach more of them, without ever changing what a supporter actually paid.
The furthest stop: a payment layer the network owns in common, built to sustain itself so it can stay low-cost and open and help fund the shared tools everyone relies on. This is about the health of the network — it is not an investment, it doesn't promise anyone a financial return, and holding a balance is just holding your money.
We'll ship each future piece only when it's genuinely ready for real money — and nothing here promises anyone a financial return.
Already part of the journey: selling for an event is just another way to get paid. ATM Tickets adds inventory, holds, issuance, delivery, and check-in — on the very same payments layer, with its own home for organizers and attendees.

Whether you create, support, build apps, or run a community, the open version of this works better with you in it early.
