2026-09-21. A payTo wallet shared by several hosts is rated once, as a family entry keyed by the owning domain, and a host that only mirrors another owner's wallet no longer receives its adoption. Before this date the whole wallet was credited to one host. Entries can start, end or change tier on this date because of the rule, not because the service changed. The rule.
2026-09-26. Agent scale is judged payment by payment. Before this date a payTo wallet was left out whenever its 14-day average ticket went above US$ 1, so one large payment removed a service for 14 days, and once the average fell back under US$ 1 the same payment inflated its settlement. From this date payments are read per payer, wallet and day: a day averaging at most US$ 1 counts in full and, on a day averaging above US$ 1, each payment counts as US$ 1, for settlement, adoption, centrality and the AEI; dust (under US$ 0.0001) counts for nothing; and a wallet is left out only when its payments above US$ 1 outnumber those of at most US$ 1, or when it received none of those. Entries can start, end or change tier on this date because of the rule, not because the service changed. The rule.
The x402 discovery catalog lists 23,431 resources across 2,722 hosts (+2,897 vs 2026-09-20). 4327 resources appeared for the first time this week; 1697 present a week ago are gone.
Agent-scale settlement this week (micropayments to catalog services, excluding human-scale and automated volume): $11,025.72 across 289,581 transfers, 4509 paying wallets to 1121 services.
Of $1,135,840 gross USDC sent to catalog addresses, $1,124,815 is human-scale commerce (58 store addresses, plus the part above US$ 1 of larger payments to agent services) and $0 is one automated distributor (0 transfers). We report the agent-scale remainder: the machine-to-machine economy is small, and saying so is the point.
