Money2046 — the data layer for agentic finance
How agents pay.
See what it costs.
Receipts for agent payments. The settled number for a $1 USDC x402 task on Base — fee, time, fail. The free index is delayed and cite-only. Fail-closed until a verified SETTLEMENT exists. Not a volume board. We charge you in USD. Human citation: methodology and research.
| Facilitator | Fee | Settle | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Coinbase CDP Facilitator | 1 USDC | 4.637s | 21dc7b7f |
| PayAI Facilitator | 1 USDC | 3.828s | 6a1907f4 |
Fresh rows and the evidence API are paid. Pricing.
What changed. 2 facilitators have verified settlements at a $1 task. Why it matters. Matched task amounts make a comparison establishable. What an agent should do. Read agent-index.json, cite each number at /evidence/{id}/, and use the ranking.
Provenance footnote: facilitator bazaar polls are labeled QUOTE rows (4 polls on file). They are not settlements and not a census. CHAIN flow is gated by the CHAIN addendum — no aggregate payment count renders here.
Before a hold
Is it still expanding?
Aerodrome, Zcash, and NEAR. A book is what an agent reads before it holds. Expansion is a later window against an earlier one. The books.
Aerodrome
From 2025-11 to 2026-10 the monthly median fell from 3.5782× to 3.1346×. Fees caught up with emissions.
Zcash
Shielded activity rose from 1.35% to 1.75%. Net flow into the pool cooled from 0.89% to 0.18%. The activity series and the direction series disagree.
NEAR
Median inflow is 53.20%. Stable 65.07% · other 49.62%. From 2025-11 to 2026-09 that gap went from −58.54% to −17.21%.

Band 67.33%–67.33%. Unflagged 32.67%–32.67%. Previous window 67.98% as of 2026-10-09T07:26:50.000Z.
The next check replaces this window and keeps this figure beside the new one.
The other on-chain readings stay on the sample already published. This is the one that moves. The reading · bsc-dex-volume-realism.json.

How a receipt happens
Request. Price. Settle. Cite — or refuse.
An agent payment is a handshake. Money2046 publishes what happened after it —
fee, time, fail — or it says INSUFFICIENT_EVIDENCE.
That is the whole object.

Request
An agent asks a paid resource for work.

Price

Settle
A facilitator clears the payment, or it does not. Discovery quotes are not this step.

Cite — or refuse
A verified settlement becomes a row in
observations.jsonand a human page at/evidence/{id}/. If the comparison cannot be established, the public answer isINSUFFICIENT_EVIDENCE.
