This kinda seems like a fantastic way to implement micro payments. The site owner sets up a attestor that knows they’ve paid.

I hate Wei in general, but it really could open up control over bots and paid access.

There is no reason that can't be done with existing web technology, WEI does not advance that use case in any meaningful way.

It provides a uniform service for ensuring a client has desired properties.

That’s kinda tricky to do well. Traffic for monitoring, you can do with a jwt, but like, enabling chunked transfer in python request lib is a problem you discover. An array of attestors could guarantee feature sets.

I'm not understanding how giving the client a token that you put in a request header that proves you've paid, or is just an account lookup token to then ask a payment processor whether or not their account is in good standing, is limited in a way that WEI makes better. I don't see any use cases that wouldn't work that way that would now work with WEI.
