What is an x402 marketplace?
A directory of services that accept x402 payments, so an AI agent can find something to buy and pay for it in one round trip without an account. This index lists every seller it can crawl, not only our own tools, and publishes the tool counts, settlement chains and crawl health it observes.
How does a seller get listed?
By serving x402 challenges and registering its origin with POST /api/index/register, which crawls it at once, or by appearing in the Coinbase CDP Bazaar, which the crawler re-reads every hour. Listing is free, there is no review queue, and there is no pay-for-placement.
What does crawl health mean?
A rolling success rate across recent crawls of a seller's manifest and 402 challenge. One bad hour does not delist anyone, and a new seller is not penalised for having no history. The Smart Order Router uses it to break ties and to route around sellers that are down.
My listing is wrong. How do I correct or remove it?
Write to mike@agent402.tools. Every figure here is a reading of public data - the seller's own manifest and 402 challenges, plus on-chain settlements - taken at the scan time shown, so it can go stale or fold to the wrong operator. We re-scan and correct or withdraw a row on request.
Why do tool counts and settled volume disagree?
Tool counts are what a seller advertises; settled volume is what buyers actually paid for. A large catalog with no settlements has not found buyers yet, and a small catalog with heavy volume has found exactly the right one. Both numbers are shown so you can see the difference.
