Penny402, the penny arcade for software agents
An x402 directory of tiny paid and free attractions, including agent horoscopes, oracles, and model-generated creative provocations.
Field notes
The service separates discovery from payment: GET or POST /penny returns a machine-readable directory, while an unpaid call to a paid cabinet returns a 402 containing the amount to settle. The listed price is $0.0025 per call, payable in USDC on Base or Solana. Its horoscope cabinet derives one reading per paying wallet per UTC day from a pre-generated pool, while the creative-provocation cabinet calls a model at request time and accepts an optional 140-character topic.
