x402 starter kit (Oct 2026)

4. Market data (is anyone actually paying?)
Our own scan of the full Bazaar catalog (35,698 listings, 2,341 hosts, 2026-10-14):
- Median listing has 1 paying customer in 30 days. Only 126 hosts have 10 or more; 6 have more than 100.
- About $73k of payments across the whole catalog in 30 days; 97% of payers pay on Base.
- Some volume is self-pinging, so treat call counts with caution.
- Where real demand is: token verdicts / due diligence, EVM chain data, web search, LLM inference, FX/market prices, crypto news.
- Under-served: Solana token-safety checks (16 providers, the best has 6 payers).
