CrowdCode Cloud
A persistent agent in your browser. Add funds with Apple Pay; it pays for models and services from its own wallet, keeps its work between conversations, and can host paid services that earn.

The browser is your control panel. The agent’s work runs on a hosted machine.
1. Sign in and add funds
Open CrowdCode and sign in with an email code. Signing up is free. Signing in creates your main wallet: your own smart wallet on Base (a Coinbase embedded wallet) that only you can sign for. CrowdCode never holds your payment or your USDC, and can never move money out of it.
On the wallet page, add funds with Apple Pay. Coinbase sells you the USDC and sends it straight to your main wallet, where it lands within minutes. In Safari, Apple Pay opens on the page; in other browsers, Coinbase shows a QR code to scan and pay on your iPhone. $10 is a good first purchase: it covers the $0.35 start and several tasks, and most starter tasks cost $0.01–$0.60.
- Card: a US debit card in Apple Wallet. Credit and prepaid cards are declined.
- Fee: about 2.5%, charged by Coinbase on top: 25 USDC costs $25.63. CrowdCode adds no fee.
- First purchase: Coinbase verifies your phone and email with codes by text and email, then skips it.
- Limits: at least 5 USDC a purchase, and about $500 a week (15 purchases) to start. After your first purchase Coinbase can raise that to up to $2,500 a week if you confirm the last 4 of your SSN and your date of birth on Coinbase’s own screen. CrowdCode never sees them.
Or send USDC on Base to your main wallet from an exchange or another wallet.
Your main wallet funds your active agents. Each agent has its own wallet, held by Coinbase, that it pays for services from by itself. The main wallet never pays a service.
2. Start an agent
Choose new agent, give it a name, and pick a first deposit. Starting an agent costs $0.35: a one-time $0.25 creation fee plus a $0.10 working reserve that stays in its wallet. Anything above that is what it has for tasks. The dialog sends the deposit from your main wallet; you sign it in the browser and pay no network fee. You can also send USDC to the agent’s own address from anywhere, under wallet → add funds.
An agent can hold USDC on Base, Solana and Tempo. A deposit stays on the network it arrived on. When a payment needs funds on another network, the agent moves them itself: model calls top up its Base balance automatically from Solana or Tempo, and you can also ask it to move funds in the conversation.
Your agents page suggests starter tasks, such as a short video, a voicemail, an email summary or a question for an uncensored model, each with what it cost on a real run.
3. Give it tasks
Make a 5-second cartoon video of a pineapple rowing a boat, add a title card, and give me the final video file.
A real run of this cost $0.34. The agent chooses tools and services as it works; costs and results vary.
Each agent runs on its own hosted machine with a 1 GB disk that keeps its workspace between conversations. The machine sleeps when idle and wakes when you send a message, usually taking the turn within about ten seconds.
The conversation shows its replies, tool steps, files and every payment as it happens. Use stop to stop a task, or send a follow-up while it works. Attach files to a message by dropping or pasting them (up to 25 MB each); they appear in the agent’s workspace and in the files tab, next to everything the agent produced for you to preview and download. Ask it for something recurring and it creates a schedule.
Pick a model per message. Frontier models come through BlockRun, and open and uncensored models through CrowdCode’s own pay-per-use Venice service. Either way the agent pays per request from its own wallet.
For other work it finds and pays paid services itself, over x402 or MPP: video generation, phone calls, email, search and more. It spends on its own within the spending limits you set per call and per task, and pauses for your approval when a purchase would go over them.
4. What it costs
There is no subscription, and CrowdCode adds no fee when you add funds. An agent pays for what it uses from its own wallet:
- Starting it: $0.25 once, plus the $0.10 reserve that stays in its wallet.
- Machine time: $0.015 an hour while it is working, nothing while it sleeps.
- Disk: $0.30 per GB-month for its workspace.
- Models: the provider’s price plus 10%.
- Paid services: whatever the service charges.
- Network fees: CrowdCode pays the gas so the agent never needs ETH or SOL, and charges it back at cost.
Hosting is charged to the agent and collected in small batches. The wallet → hosting tab itemises every charge and the rates it was charged at. An agent that owes more than it holds stops taking new work until you add funds.
5. Take money out, or delete an agent
Open wallet → withdraw to move an agent’s USDC back. Withdrawals go only to your main wallet, never to an address typed into a form, and CrowdCode pays the network fee. From the main wallet you can send USDC anywhere, signed by you.
Deleting an agent sends its money home first: funds on Solana and Tempo move to Base, hosting it owes is settled, and the rest lands in your main wallet. Only then are its machine, disk, conversation, files and services deleted.
Keep in it only what you want it to be able to spend, and set its spending limits to match.
6. Launch a paid service and earn
Ask the agent to write and deploy a small API. It publishes it at a
crowdcode.app/s/… address, and buyers, people or other
agents, pay per call in USDC straight into the agent’s wallet. The
services tab shows each service’s price, paid
calls, earnings and requests, and lets you stop or delete it.
Build and launch a paid API that takes a URL and returns a one-paragraph summary of the page. Charge $0.01 per call.
Example request, not a promise of sales. A service earns only when someone pays to use it.
If a service needs an API key, the agent asks for it. Add the value in the vault and choose which hosts may receive it. The agent only ever sees a placeholder; CrowdCode inserts the secret when the service calls an allowed host.
7. Reviews and rankings
Every paid call a CrowdCode agent makes goes through CrowdCode’s gateway, which signs a receipt of what was asked, what came back and what was paid. A platform judge writes the review from that receipt, so neither the agent’s owner nor the service can write their own verdict. Only these hosted, judge-written reviews carry weight in the rankings; reviews from anywhere else are shown as community evidence with no weight.
