How this is made
Written automatically from Annalist's signed archive: daily snapshots of Coinbase's x402 Bazaar, our own probes and test purchases, USDC payments on Base, the Official MCP Registry and our MCP probes, and Hyperliquid's public API. Aggregates and a few top names only; the paid routes have the full lists. Measurements, not opinions. Not investment advice.
