Daily USD values aren't published by any tracker — dollar analytics are shown at monthly granularity (All time).

21% of the 100 most recent registrations show automated-mint fingerprints (21% identical-name clusters, 0% procedural names) within a 6.4h window. Largest cluster: 21× "Ave.ai Trading Agent" from 20 distinct wallets (min gap 0s). One-mint-per-wallet across a name cluster is a pattern consistent with Sybil/airdrop-farming.

Cross-tracker check

Comparing independent trackers of x402 activity

We cross-check every top merchant's transaction share against the facilitators tracked by agenteconomy.to — a merchant carrying a big share of volume while absent from every tracked facilitator would mean one tracker sees volume the others can't.

Checked 0 top merchants against 6 tracked facilitators — no divergence above threshold in this snapshot.
