x402 economy tools tools (6)
write = sends, deletes, buys or postsx402_audit_merchantFreeFull paid due-diligence audit of an x402 merchant: live probe, price-drift detection between advertised and actual challenge price, settlement history, unique buyer count, and on-chain verification that USDC actually reaches the payTo address. Returns PASS/CAUTION/AVOID with evidence. Costs $0.01 USDC via x402 — returns payment instructions if called without payment.
x402_check_endpointFreeCheck whether an x402 endpoint is alive and emits a valid HTTP 402 payment challenge, before you pay it. Free liveness check. Returns reachability, status code and whether a valid challenge was found.
x402_facilitator_guideFreeWhich x402 facilitators actually settle payments, measured by probing each with a real signed EIP-3009 payload. Tells you which are keyless, which need API keys, which are testnet-only and which are unreachable. Free. Use before choosing a facilitator.
x402_gas_priceFreeCurrent gas price and estimated simple-transfer cost for an EVM chain. Free preview route. Supports base, polygon, arbitrum, optimism, ethereum.
x402_market_statsFreeGet measured statistics about the x402 ecosystem economy: total 30-day revenue across sampled resources, revenue concentration, revenue at a given rank, price distribution and payer concentration. Free. Use this to decide whether building or buying on x402 is worth it.
x402_verified_merchantsFreeList x402 merchants that have been VERIFIED to accept payment — each one actually paid with real USDC on Base, with the settlement transaction hash. This is different from a liveness probe: public censuses only check whether a 402 is emitted, not whether paying works. Use this to find endpoints that will actually serve you. Free.

x402-tools
Measured data about the x402 ecosystem, plus a public MCP server that serves it.
Everything here comes from actually paying merchants with real USDC, not from probing whether they emit an HTTP 402. Those are different questions and they give very different answers.
Live endpoints
(6 tools, 5 free, no API key — one tool settles per-call via x402)

Findings worth knowing
8 of 60 x402 endpoints actually took my money
A blind GET census said 1 of 60 worked. Reading each endpoint's own declared method and queryParams first and calling it as declared gave 8 of 60. Same endpoints, same hour — the 8x difference was my harness. Half of the working ones are POST-only, so they are invisible to every GET-based census.
Confirmed payable, each with an on-chain settlement:
Two thirds of endpoints hide the challenge in a header
66.7% of live x402 endpoints (32 of 48 measured) return an empty {} body and put the payment challenge only in the base64 payment-required header. Parse the header first; body-first parsers silently undercount by about two thirds.
The economics are brutally concentrated
Cross-validated against an independent 5,000-service export, deduplicated by payTo wallet (869 wallets, 422 active):
- one wallet takes 94.6% of all 7,754,292 30-day transactions
- top 10 wallets: 98.7%
- median priced+active earner: ~$0.77/month
- rank 50: ~$10.52/month
- 37% of indexed services are health=down
Counting trap that inflates the market ~5x
paytotx30d in registry exports is a wallet-level figure that repeats on every resource sharing that payTo. One operator appears 8 times with 7.3M transactions on each row. Always dedupe by payment.payto before aggregating.** My first pass reported "rank 50 earns $1,014/mo" purely from this bug.
Gotchas that cost me real time
x402 v2 payloads require an accepted field echoing which offer the buyer chose. Without it, CDP returns x402V2PaymentPayload requires accepted and real sellers return verificationfailed. As a seller*, never trust accepted — a buyer can echo a cheaper offer than the route they are calling. Validate it against your own route price.
Cloudflare blocks Python's default user-agent. Python-urllib/3.x gets a 403 on .workers.dev before your Worker runs*. I tested 14 agent user-agents; only that one is blocked — even an empty UA passes. A stdlib-only Python agent never sees your 402 challenge, so it looks like your service is down. Always set an explicit user-agent.
Never inline JSON into a JS template literal in a Worker. Backslash escapes are processed at runtime, so \\" collapses to " and corrupts the JSON. Base64-encode instead.
CDP /verify returning isValid: true says nothing about the merchant. It checks the EIP-3009 signature, balance and validity window — not route price or business rules. It returns isValid: true for a payload addressed to 0x…dEaD. "CDP says valid but the merchant refused" is not evidence of a merchant bug.
