Endpoints & Pricing
Forecasts: $0.05 USDC· Signals: $0.02 USDC. Base mainnet (eip155:8453). Auth: x402 X-PAYMENT header (EIP-3009).
How to Pay (x402)
The server returns HTTP 402 with a signed payment requirement. Your client attaches a USDC EIP-3009 authorization as an X-PAYMENT header and replays the request. The x402 facilitator submits on-chain and covers gas — no wallet pop-ups, no subscriptions, no pre-funding required.

About Kronos Signals
Kronos is a machine-payable crypto market-data API built for autonomous agents. The core service is real-time market data: perpetual-swap derivatives (funding rate, open interest, basis, and trend signals sourced from Bybit), multi-source spot price, liquidation cluster maps, options implied volatility, CEX premium, realized volatility, and macro context — each a pay-per-call x402 endpoint across 16 assets. ML price-direction forecasts are an optional premium add-on: BTC/ETH/SOL/DOGE/BNB/NEAR/ADA forecasts run the Kronos-base ML model (DOGE/BNB graduated from the composite model 2026-07-10; NEAR added 2026-07-15, ADA 2026-07-20), with a transparent EMA/RSI/MACD/ATR technical-indicator composite as the fallback and as the model still serving XRP. Live on Base mainnet; payments settled in USDC via x402.
