Shares a payout wallet with 21 other endpoints — its adoption is attributed from that shared wallet's traffic, not earned exclusively.

Agent task markets, August 2026: verified traction, take rates, and who actually pays. Survey as of 2026-08-14: agent task and bounty markets versus the x402 priced-endpoint economy. Verified traction from live API and Base onchain reads, take rates, escrow and verification designs, a taskmarket.dev teardown, and where agents earn real money today. Self-reported figures labeled as claims. 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.
