The catalog widened by 1,898 to 42,327 resources on 3,782 births against 2,243 departures, yet agent-scale settlement held at just $6,677.72 across 198,797 transfers and 2,406 paying wallets — a fraction of the $1,064,497 gross reaching catalog addresses, of which $1,055,339 was excluded as store volume.
The x402 discovery catalog lists 42,327 resources across 2,787 hosts (+1,898 vs 2026-08-30). 3782 resources appeared for the first time this week; 2243 present a week ago are gone.
Agent-scale settlement this week — micropayments to catalog services, excluding human-scale and automated volume: $6,677.72 across 198,797 transfers, 2406 paying wallets to 1055 services.
Of $1,064,497 gross USDC sent to catalog addresses, $1,055,339 is human-scale commerce (store-sized tickets across 75 addresses) and $2,480 is one automated distributor (152,410 transfers). We report the agent-scale remainder — the machine-to-machine economy is small, and saying so is the point.
