Headline: how honest are the catalogs?

67%

of the services 402index lists as "healthy" actually return a valid x402 challenge under PulseFeed's independent probe. We caught 1300 of 3910 listed-healthy endpoints that did not return a valid x402 challenge to our probe. Agents shouldn't trust a listing blindly.

Methodology: PulseFeed continuously crawls x402 catalogs (CDP Bazaar + 402index), independently probes every endpoint for a valid x402 challenge, verifies each payTo on-chain, and tracks payTo/price history over time. This report is generated automatically from that data and updates daily.
