Algorand × x402 × USDC payment monitoring

Agents do the work.
We prove they
got paid.

RoundWatch lets agents create a durable watch for one exact future Algorand MainNet USDC payment, exit, and retrieve verified on-chain evidence later.

01/Product

Reliable continuity
for autonomous work.

Work can be autonomous.
Trust needs a foundation.

01

Watches one exact future MainNet USDC payment within a bounded window.

02

Matches sender, receiver, asset, atomic amount, and optional invoice note.

03

Watch state and scan progress survive process restarts and redeploys.

02/Legacy demo

Watch RoundWatch
in action.

This MainNet recording shows the watch lifecycle on an earlier release, before the November 2026 x402 SDK update.

03/The flow

Create the watch once.
Retrieve the evidence later.

The caller does not have to stay alive
just to keep checking the chain.

  1. 01

    Discover and check the offer

    Request the free x402 offer. Check its terms and your watch specification before signing.

  2. 02

    Settle the x402 service fee

    Sign locally and submit the watch request with the x402 payment signature.

  3. 03

    RoundWatch owns the wait

    After settlement is confirmed on-chain, RoundWatch activates the watch and saves its scan progress.

  4. 04

    Match & retrieve evidence

    Retrieve the watch result, including the transaction ID and confirmed round when a transfer matches.

The caller can exit after activation. RoundWatch can resume from the saved cursor after a restart and reconcile settlement when activation is interrupted.

04/Technology

Deterministic where it matters.
Intelligent where it helps.

The deterministic core

Evidence first.
Every next step, grounded.

Settlement and payment matching are established by deterministic infrastructure. A language model does not decide whether a payment settled or matched.

  • x402 service settlement
  • Confirmed service-payment round
  • Durable watch state
  • Persistent scan cursor
  • Restart recovery
  • Exact future-payment matching

06/Resilience

Restart the server.
Keep the truth.

A process can stop. Its evidence shouldn’t disappear with it.

RoundWatch restores durable state and resumes from saved observation progress. A future payment can still be detected after restart.

07/Why it matters

A more reliable
agent economy.

For agents01

The freedom to leave.

Create a durable wait, exit the process, and retrieve the exact payment evidence later.

For services02

A clearer payment boundary.

Separate caller lifetime from the infrastructure that owns observation and durable evidence.

For developers03

State that outlasts a process.

Use persisted watch state and scan progress instead of keeping a worker alive just to poll.

Algorand MainNet
x402 v2 · SDK 2.29.0 · Circle USDC

The November 9, 2026 MainNet release passed health, readiness, and unsigned canonical HTTP 402 checks. The same SDK version settled a real TestNet service payment and matched a separate USDC transfer. A paid MainNet run on this release is still pending.

An earlier MainNet canary settled the service fee and matched a separate USDC transfer. The current watch costs 0.10 USDC and has a 30-minute eligibility window from durable preparation and a 500-work-unit budget.
