The catalog swelled by 25,211 to 40,429 resources even as departures (2,185) outpaced arrivals (1,435), while agent-scale settlement held at just $5,625.68 across 166,405 transfers and 2,682 paying wallets — a rounding error beside the $1,032,876 in store volume excluded from the index.
The x402 discovery catalog lists 40,429 resources across 2,445 hosts (+25,211 vs 2026-08-23). 1435 resources appeared for the first time this week; 2185 present a week ago are gone.
Agent-scale settlement this week — micropayments to catalog services, excluding human-scale and automated volume: $5,625.68 across 166,405 transfers, 2682 paying wallets to 955 services.
Of $1,039,632 gross USDC sent to catalog addresses, $1,032,876 is human-scale commerce (store-sized tickets across 79 addresses) and $1,129 is one automated distributor (112,871 transfers). We report the agent-scale remainder — the machine-to-machine economy is small, and saying so is the point.
