A clear view of the payment challenges we observed: what responded, what failed, and how much remains unknown.
Snapshot: · Fresh window starts 2026-10-18T00:39:36.095Z · Next update due 2026-10-26T00:39:36.095Z
168 / 36,992 indexed endpoints had a fresh valid 402 at this cutoff.
No qualifying fresh observation. This includes unprobed, deferred and older records; these are not counted as failures.
Partial, biased coverage. Scout works within daily quotas and robots/host-pacing rules. Freshness is 24 hours at the snapshot cutoff. A successful unpaid 402 does not prove that payment or paid delivery works.
Common response problems
Counts among the 180 fresh observations. Reasons describe what the probe saw, not verified root causes. Missing metadata and price/payTo mismatches are not measured by this aggregate.
| Observed result | Endpoints |
|---|---|
| Request timed out | 6 |
| HTTP 410 response | 4 |
| 402 challenge could not be parsed | 2 |
Fastest observed seller responses
One endpoint per hostname, ranked by a single unpaid GET observation. These are response snapshots, not p95 latency, paid-delivery benchmarks or a seller quality ranking. No paid placement.

SpendPreflight Scout staging observations of publicly listed Bazaar resources. Captured in one read-only database query. Quota-bounded, stale-first due-row sampling; not random or representative of the entire x402 ecosystem.
We count public catalog rows listed within 30 days of the cutoff. The current discovery cycle reports 26,849 source entries, while the retained index spans multiple cycles. These are different populations; their ratio is not ingestion completeness.
Only the latest completed observation per endpoint is included. Recent timeouts are recorded separately; robots, pacing, capacity and missing evidence stay unknown. Reliability is unavailable without adequate history. Private seller registrations, Lint submissions, email addresses, query values, payment histories and response bodies are excluded.
Published weekly from a bounded, consistent read. A deployment serves the cached snapshot with no database queries or endpoint probes per page view. The next snapshot is due seven days after this one; overdue snapshots are labeled historical.
