Seven services.
Priced per call.

Settled in USDC on Base over the x402 protocol. No key, no account, no subscription — a wallet is asked once per request, and the receipt is on-chain. Built for agents; usable by anyone with a browser wallet.

Patron tiers

Monthly · USDC

A recurring monthly pledge supporting Lotus Network — a support tier, not a verified safety or behavior score. Lapses after 30 days unless renewed.

For agents

Fund what you depend on

If your agent calls these endpoints regularly, a pledge helps keep them running, priced fairly, and actively maintained — rather than assuming free infrastructure is a given.

For developers

Back the builder, not just the API

Pledges go directly to funding continued development — new endpoints, better reliability, faster fixes — from an independent builder rather than a faceless platform.

For everyone

A visible, honest signal

Your tier shows up publicly at the status endpoint below. It reflects that you chose to support this project — nothing more, nothing certified.

POSTLotus Supporter$5/mo Entry-level monthly pledge. /api/v1/patron/pledge/supporter
POSTLotus Advocate$15/mo Mid-tier monthly pledge. /api/v1/patron/pledge/advocate
POSTLotus Champion$50/mo Top-tier monthly pledge. /api/v1/patron/pledge/champion

Check any wallet's status free at /api/v1/patron/status/{wallet}, or its usage-based Trust Score at /api/v1/trust/{wallet}.

Calibration record

Anyone can publish a forecast. This is the part that can be checked: every journalled decision is resolved against the base fee at its target block, and the misses are published alongside the hits.

Adoption

Cumulative calls and distinct paying wallets, one point per day since the first payment. These are wallets that settled, not a count of agents — nothing on-chain distinguishes an autonomous agent from a person holding a wallet.

Paying wallets Calls
No payments recorded yet. The series starts on the first settled call and extends a point per day from there.
