Shares a payout wallet with 1 other endpoint — its adoption is attributed from that shared wallet's traffic, not earned exclusively.

Tavily's Penny Search: The Clearest Working Case in the x402 Census, Under Scrutiny. Tavily sells web search to AI agents for one cent a call, and in the last 30 days, 302 wallets bought it 36,958 times. Start with what Tavily is, because it matters. This is not an anonymous contract deployed last month. Tavily is an established AI web-search company with a real domain, Terms of Use, and a Privacy Policy. Its core business is search-as-API for LLM applications. What it added is an x402 endpoint at x402.tavily.com/search, where any agent can buy a single search in USDC on Base wi. One payment returns the full text, and the creator is paid as it is used.

Composite reliability — the weighted average of the dimensions below, on a 0–100 scale.
Availability
100

How often it was reachable when we probed it (weight 35%).

Latency
100

How quickly it answers when it is up — fast scores high (weight 20%).

Security
100

Whether it serves over working TLS / https (weight 15%).

Transparency
36

Whether the operator disclosed what it does — description, schema, identity (weight 15%).

Activity
0

Observed on-chain payments to this endpoint's wallet — transactions, volume, and distinct paying wallets over the last month (weight 15%; not yet measured when we have not seen its wallet settle).

Confidence 100% — how much probe evidence backs this score. A thin history is flagged, not hidden.

See the scoring methodology for exactly how each number is computed.

Operator context is derived from public RDAP/TLS records and unverified. Company and country are only available for endpoints that publish them (an OV/EV TLS certificate or a non-redacted domain record); most endpoints are CDN-fronted and disclose neither.
