What this measures
The count of verified payments to tracked seller addresses across one closed Monday–Sunday UTC week, divided by seven. It is a payment count, not a transfer count: dust transfers are not in it (they are counted on the dust page), and payments from senders flagged exchange, fan-out, or self are removed, as are self-transfers. The whole-week count sits in the table so the rate is never quoted without its base.
Counts and dollars move independently — the second Pulse issue found payment frequency roughly doubling while dollars rose by a third — which is why this page never stands alone: the volume page answers the dollar side for the same week, and the average-payment page divides one by the other.
Reading this number honestly
Scope. This is a tracked-catalog figure: USDC received on Base by the seller addresses our x402 Bazaar-derived catalog tracks — never “the x402 market,” never “the agent economy’s volume.” Wallets can receive USDC for reasons unrelated to x402 sales; the method removes only known exchange, fan-out, and self flows.
What “verified” means here. “Verified” is the payment-level predicate of score-v1.0.0: a payment at or above the dust floor of $0.01 , sender not flagged exchange, fan-out, or self, not a self-transfer. It is not the seller-level “verified tier” on the rankings; the two labels are never conflated. Methodology: verified revenue
Dust. Payments below the floor are counted and summed separately and shown beside verified — never netted out, never labeled verified. The dust figures for the same week are on How much x402 traffic is dust?
- Every USDC transfer on Base to a tracked catalog address in the window, passed through the score-v1.0.0 verified predicate (at or above the dust floor, sender not flagged exchange/fan-out/self, not a self-transfer). Recomputed weekly from the warehouse by the frozen method; buyer flags at version flags-2026-10-13. Methodology: verified revenue
- The prior week is the closed Monday–Sunday UTC week immediately before, by the same method and the same flags version. Comparisons print as daily rates where the quantity sums over days; distinct counts compare window to window (both seven days). A future flags bump can revise past weeks, visibly — rows are append-only.
- Coverage at compute: all seven window days coverage-published at coverage_ratio 1.00; the window recompute reconciles to the micro with the published v_market_daily weekly sum.
