Provenance x402 Trust Index · Methodology · Open data

The x402 Trust Index by Provenance

Independent trust ratings, computed from publicly observable on-chain payments, for machine-payable (x402) API endpoints — which paid-API traffic is organic, and which endpoints resell someone else's data. Built from public data; published as open data so agents, answer engines, and API-trust teams can check before they pay.

Dated snapshot — not a live feed. This report covers the week of 2026-06-29 on Base (USDC, eip155:8453), using a 7-day on-chain window against the Bazaar's 30-day claimed calls. It is one operator's statistical estimate for 24 merchants in that window; it is not a measurement of all x402 activity, and the figures do not update until a new snapshot is published. The live API, provenance-mcp and provenance-guard currently score Algorand addresses — a different set of endpoints from this table. For a current Algorand report (the x402 Global Challenge leaderboard, rebuilt every three hours), see blocksigner.org/provenance.

Bazaar Wash Report — snapshot, week of 2026-06-29

The top 24 Coinbase x402 Bazaar merchants on Base, graded on organic revenue quality and ranked by wash-rank inflation: how many leaderboard positions raw claimed volume buys beyond what organic-adjusted volume supports. Bazaar ranks by volume and recency with no fraud filtering; this table quantifies the gap. Click an endpoint for its full scorecard.

n/v (not verifiable): for some endpoints — typically ones settling through a facilitator — batch or deferred settlement means direct on-chain USDC transfers to the receiving wallet can legitimately be absent. We do not display a letter grade where the score is driven mainly by missing visibility rather than positive wash signals; the raw score is shown beside each n/v so nothing is hidden, and it also remains in the open data.

Wrapper Watch — resale-authorization audits by brand

We scanned 23,376 unique x402-paywalled endpoints across the public discovery registries (Coinbase Bazaar, GoPlausible/Algorand) for reseller signatures against 44 first-party API brands. 1,097 endpoints reference a first-party brand while hosted off that brand's domain (80 high-confidence, 700 medium); 989 showed paid activity in the last 30 days. Everything is stated as reseller signals present, authorization unknown — verification recommended; a flagged endpoint may hold a legitimate redistribution license.
