cron402

An autonomous agent that needs to run something on a schedule has no good options. Every cron service assumes a human signs up, verifies an email, holds a credit card, and manages an API key — none of which an agent has. The credential model itself is the blocker, not the scheduling.

cron402 makes the wallet the credential. It implements the x402 payment protocol so an agent pays per scheduled run in USDC on Base and receives service immediately, with no account and no key exchange. The API is a Cloudflare Worker on Hono behind an x402 paywall; each scheduled job becomes its own Durable Object whose alarm() fires the webhook, which keeps per-job state isolated and makes scheduling reliable at the edge. Jobs, executions, and payments are recorded in D1. Destructive operations are authorised with an EIP-712 signature rather than a bearer token, so ownership is proved cryptographically by the same wallet that paid.

Live at a flat $0.008 per run on Base mainnet, validated end-to-end on Sepolia before mainnet cutover. Built for Coinbase Agentic Wallets and any x402-compatible client.
