State of the x402 Bazaar
Updated 2026-10-09
Counts, prices, networks and metadata quality for the Coinbase CDP x402 Bazaar, computed from Tanod's daily index of the public discovery list. Numbers are regenerated from the index; the method is at the end. For what to fix in your own listing, see the listing checklist; for payer counts, see what agents pay for, and for the routes that payers come back to, where repeat buyers spend.

Payment schemes
The x402 scheme in each listing's payment options: exact charges a fixed price per call, upto lets the seller charge actual usage up to a signed maximum, batch-settlement settles many signed vouchers in one on-chain transaction. A listing can offer several. Paying wallets are the Bazaar's own 30-day unique-payer count; when one host holds most of a scheme's listings (see Largest host's share) the payer columns mostly describe that host, so read them as description, not cause.
| Scheme | Listings | Hosts | Largest host's share | Median paying wallets (30 days) | Listings with 3+ paying wallets |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| <code>exact</code> | 40,683 | 2,373 | 34.6% | 1 | 18.0% |
| <code>upto</code> | 778 | 38 | 72.2% | 3 | 71.3% |
| <code>batch-settlement</code> | 135 | 14 | 49.6% | 3 | 61.5% |
| <code>exact_cosmos_authz</code> | 51 | 1 | 100.0% | 1 | 5.9% |

Metadata quality
| Check | Listings | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Description has a "use when" sentence | 2,288 | 5.6% |
| Description over 500 characters (the CDP limit) | 130 | 0.3% |
| Description empty or missing | 105 | 0.3% |
The 2,288 listings with a use-when sentence come from 129 hosts; agentshelf.syntexa.ch alone accounts for 1,193 of them (52.1%).
Output schema: the discovery list our index reads does not carry an output schema field (0 of 40,769 records include one), so we cannot report how many listings omit it. The CDP validate call reports it per endpoint; see the listing checklist.
Top 10 hosts by listing count

The ten largest hosts hold 52.0% of listings. 1,076 of 2,377 hosts have a single listing. Hostnames come from public listing URLs.
The Bazaar without templated bulk hosts
A few hosts publish hundreds or thousands of listings from one URL template with near-identical descriptions. We score every host in our index (see Method) and flag 19 of 23,185 as templated bulk hosts. They account for 3,169 of 40,769 Bazaar listings (7.8%); without them the Bazaar holds 37,600 listings. Across all sources in our index the share is 14.0%.
The flag is a statistical description of listing metadata, not a judgement about any host or its service. Agent index queries can drop these hosts with exclude_farms: true.
Churn
Our index holds 10 daily snapshots of the Bazaar so far, so this is a short window, not a trend.

Added means present on the later day and not the earlier; removed is the reverse. A listing missing from one daily fetch counts as removed even if it returns later, and the CDP catalog also drops endpoints that go 30 days without a settlement.

The figures on this page are published as machine-readable files, updated daily: latest snapshot (JSON) and daily history (CSV). The history is also a Hugging Face dataset: tanod/x402-category-prices (config bazaar_stats). They contain aggregate statistics only, no listing-level data. Our derived figures are licensed CC BY 4.0; the underlying Bazaar listings belong to their publishers.

Method
- Once a day Tanod fetches the full CDP Bazaar discovery list (paged, public endpoint) and stores each listing as returned, keyed by resource URL. Each fetch is a snapshot.
- Figures use listings seen in the 2026-10-16 snapshot (40,769 records). Snapshot sizes by day: 2026-10-07 35,169, 2026-10-08 33,513, 2026-10-09 34,062, 2026-10-10 33,717, 2026-10-11 32,056, 2026-10-12 32,342, 2026-10-13 32,714, 2026-10-14 34,412, 2026-10-15 37,320, 2026-10-16 40,769.
- Host is the hostname of the listing URL. Price is the first payment option converted to USD. Networks are the CAIP-2 ids in the payment options, named as in the table; legacy names such as base are folded in.
- A "use when" sentence is a description matching a phrase such as "use this when", "when to use", "call this if", "ideal when". This is a pattern match, so it misses other wordings.
- Templated bulk host: at least 100 listings and a score of at least 0.5, where the score is 0.4 × the share of listings on a URL template shared by 10 or more listings, plus 0.4 × the share with a description repeated 5 or more times once numbers and the final path word are masked, plus up to 0.2 when one payTo address is used across many hosts.
- Churn compares the set of listing URLs present on consecutive snapshot days.
- The PayAI facilitator list is indexed separately (20,396 listings on 2026-10-16) and is not part of these figures.
