n8n-nodes-cronos-x402

!Cronos X402 Logo

This is an n8n community node that enables Agentic Payments, On-Chain Notarization, and Web3 Authentication on the Cronos EVM chain directly within your n8n workflows.

It is designed to help AI Agents pay for resources, accept payments, sign/verify messages, and create immutable audit logs.

n8n is a fair-code licensed workflow automation platform.

Features

* Agentic Payments (x402): Send and receive payments autonomously using the ERC-20 standard and facilitator payment headers.
* On-Chain Notarization: Write arbitrary text or JSON data to the blockchain for immutable audit logging and reputation tracking.
* Web3 Authentication: Sign messages (SIWE - Sign In With Ethereum) and recover addresses to verify sender identity without transactions.
* Smart Contract Interaction: Poll for event logs and check native token balances.

Installation

$3

You can install this node directly in your n8n instance:

1. Go to Settings > Community Nodes.
2. Select Install.
3. Enter n8n-nodes-cronos-paytech.

$3

To install the node from the source code for local development:

1. Clone this repository.
2. Run npm install and npm run build && npm link.
3. Link the package to your n8n installation:
``bash
# In your n8n custom nodes directory (usually ~/.n8n/custom)
rm node_modules/n8n-nodes-cronos-paytech && npm link n8n-nodes-cronos-paytech
`
4. Restart n8n.

Credentials

Cronos Wallet
* Private Key: The private key of the wallet you wish to control.
* Environment: Select Mainnet or Testnet.

Note: Credentials are optional for public actions like Recover Address, Generate Challenge, and Get Event Logs.

Operations

$3

* Pay From Wallet (Client Mode): Sign a payment transaction or authorization for a resource. Used by agents to pay for services.
* Generate Challenge (Merchant Mode): Create a 402 Payment Request. Used by services to request payment from agents.
* Verify Payment (Merchant Mode): specific Verify valid payment headers received from a client.

$3

* Sign Message (Auth): Sign a text message using the wallet's private key (compatible with EIP-191/SIWE).
* Recover Address (Verify Auth): Recover the signer's public address from a message and signature. useful for verifying identity without gas fees.

$3

* Notarize (Data): Write arbitrary text or compressed JSON data on-chain. Ideal for creating immutable audit logs of AI decisions.
* Get Event Logs: Poll a smart contract for specific events (e.g., watching for a PaymentReceived event).

$3

* Get Balance: Check the native CRO balance of the connected wallet.

Usage Examples

$3

1. Generate Challenge: The API (Merchant) generates a payment challenge.
2. Pay From Wallet: The AI Agent (Client) receives the challenge and signs a payment using this node.
3. Verify Payment: The API verifies the payment header before releasing the resource.

$3

1. AI Decision: Your AI works through a complex reasoning chain.
2. Compress: Summarize the decision to a short string or hash.
3. Notarize: Use the Notarize` action to write this summary to the Cronos blockchain.
4. Verify: Anyone can later prove the AI made that specific decision at that time by checking the transaction data.
