cardano402

An open-source portfolio project exploring HTTP payments on Cardano using the x402 Foundation's @x402/cardano reference implementation.

The v2 site preserves the exact original landing-page design, including its Normal/Dev modes, typography, illustrations and demo panel. It is served as static assets, with no background API polling. An optional live demo uses the project's own Cardano Preview wallet to send 2 test ADA to itself, pay the network fee, and return a transaction explorer link. Visitors need no wallet or funds.

Architecture

  • apps/facilitator/landing: original v1 React page source and artwork.
  • apps/facilitator/public: built page served by Workers Static Assets.
  • apps/facilitator/src: keyless x402 verification and settlement inside a PaymentExecutor Durable Object, plus durable duplicate protection; /info is the agent-readable view.
  • apps/demo-worker: private signing service and single Durable Object for the dedicated Preview test wallet. Five new runs/day, ten-minute cooldown, bounded retries, durable pending-payment protection. No public routes.
  • packages/: preserved legacy @cardano402/* SDKs, superseded by @x402/*.

The preview live demo is enabled after a confirmed on-chain benchmark. The staged production website reuses this preview demo through a service binding. The VPS still serves mainnet until its dependants have migrated; its old testnet demo stays paused. Cloudflare does not replace the mainnet API.

Develop and check

pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
pnpm --filter @cardano402/facilitator dev
pnpm --filter @cardano402/facilitator --filter @cardano402/demo-worker typecheck
pnpm --filter @cardano402/facilitator --filter @cardano402/demo-worker test
pnpm --filter @cardano402/facilitator --filter @cardano402/demo-worker build

Tests run in workerd with synthetic data and blocked external provider traffic. The build is a dry-run deploy requiring no credentials. For interactive local integration, run Wrangler with both apps' config paths; never load mainnet signing material into the demo.

Preview API

Route Purpose
/ Original landing page
POST /demo/run Start/resume the bounded project-funded Preview demo
/info, /SKILL.md, /llms.txt Agent integration information
/supported Reference SDK capabilities on Preview
POST /verify, POST /settle Capped Preview-only x402 facilitator API
/health Shallow health; explicit ?deep=1 is capped at four probes/day

Deployment and cost

Use the GitHub deployment workflow. Preview runs the testnet facilitator and private demo. Production deploys the website with the same demo service, while forwarding API and discovery requests to the existing mainnet tunnel origin. The production job remains behind environment approval. No paid account upgrade is automatic.

See cost controls and benchmark checklist and the cutover runbook. The measured demo fits the Free request CPU allowance; its daily quota and cooldown remain enforced.

History and license

The original VPS facilitator is preserved at v1-final, with its notes in docs/v1. Apache-2.0.

The prepared production deployment moves only the website and its testnet demo to Cloudflare, preserving all mainnet API paths through the existing tunnel. It reuses the preview demo state; see the staged cutover runbook.
