# The State of x402: What 100 Live Services Show This page is a snapshot of the x402 ecosystem as measured by this directory: every number below is computed from the same dataset that powers the category, chain, facilitator, and price-band pages, so each claim can be checked by browsing. The directory indexes 100 x402-enabled services — all of them live, all charging per request in USDC, and all backed by on-chain payment evidence. Rather than forecasting where the ecosystem is going, this snapshot records what it is made of. ## The catalog by category Ten categories organize the catalog; nine hold listings. The counts: - [**Finance & trading**](https://x402looker.com/category/finance-trading/) — 60 listings, three-fifths of the entire directory. - [**Data APIs**](https://x402looker.com/category/data-apis/) — 21 listings. - [**Infrastructure & facilitators**](https://x402looker.com/category/infrastructure-facilitators/) — 4 listings. - [**MCP tools**](https://x402looker.com/category/mcp-tools/) — 4 listings. - [**Other**](https://x402looker.com/category/other/) — 4 listings that fit no other category. - [**Commerce**](https://x402looker.com/category/commerce/) — 2 listings. - [**Search & retrieval**](https://x402looker.com/category/search-retrieval/) — 2 listings. - [**Media generation**](https://x402looker.com/category/media-generation/) — 2 listings. - [**Content paywalls**](https://x402looker.com/category/content-paywalls/) — 1 listing. - **Identity verification** — a defined category with no listings in the dataset. ## The catalog by chain Settlement happens on two networks. [Base](https://x402looker.com/chain/base/), an Ethereum layer-2, carries 87 listings; [Solana](https://x402looker.com/chain/solana/), a high-throughput layer-1, carries 13. The split is not uniform across the catalog: every finance and trading listing settles on Base, while Solana's slice leans toward data APIs (7 of its 13) and MCP tools (3 of the 4 in the directory). Every premium-priced listing — all 28 of them — also settles on Base, which makes Solana the chain of cheaper, higher-frequency calls. The chain guides — [x402 on Base](https://x402looker.com/guides/x402-on-base/) and [x402 on Solana](https://x402looker.com/guides/x402-on-solana/) — break each slice down further. ## The catalog by facilitator Seven facilitators verify and settle payments for the 100 listings, and adoption is concentrated. The [coinbase facilitator](https://x402looker.com/facilitator/coinbase/) clears 83 listings — it is operated by the company that originated the protocol. [payai](https://x402looker.com/facilitator/payai/) and codenut settle 5 each, [dexter](https://x402looker.com/facilitator/dexter/) settles 4, and corbits, daydreams, and mogami settle one apiece. The [facilitator hub](https://x402looker.com/facilitator/) tracks all seven counts, and the [facilitator comparison](https://x402looker.com/guides/x402-facilitators-compared/) discusses what the concentration means. ## The catalog by price Listed prices span five orders of magnitude, from $0.00001 to $10 per request. Four price bands organize them: - [**Micro** — $0.01 or less](https://x402looker.com/price-band/micro/): 32 listings, the largest band. Commodity data calls dominate it; 15 of the 21 data APIs price here. - [**Low** — up to $0.10](https://x402looker.com/price-band/low/): 9 listings. - [**Moderate** — up to $1.00](https://x402looker.com/price-band/moderate/): 30 listings, mostly market data and analytics. - [**Premium** — over $1.00](https://x402looker.com/price-band/premium/): 28 listings, of which 24 are finance and trading endpoints. One listing declares its price as "varies" rather than a fixed amount, so no band page covers it. ## Liveness and verification A directory of paid endpoints is only useful if the endpoints answer. Every listing shipped with on-chain payment evidence behind it, and the directory probes every listing weekly and flags services that lapse, so decayed endpoints surface rather than silently rot. The counts on this page describe live services, not historical registrations, and the same weekly pass keeps the category, chain, facilitator, and price-band pages aligned with what agents can actually pay. ## What the mix suggests Read together, the numbers sketch a young ecosystem with a clear center of gravity. The buyers with real budgets are trading agents: finance and trading not only dominates listing count but also accounts for 24 of the 28 premium-priced calls, meaning the highest per-request prices attach to endpoints that feed revenue-generating decisions. At the other end, the micro band's 32 listings show that prices card networks cannot express — a cent, a tenth of a cent, a thousandth of a cent — are routine here, which is the protocol's core promise working as intended. Settlement is concentrated but not monopolized: one facilitator clears most payments, yet six others operate and chain coverage genuinely differs among them. And the small but present MCP slice — four tool listings, three on Solana — marks the category to watch as agent frameworks standardize on tool interfaces. The directory's weekly refresh cycle keeps this snapshot honest: as listings arrive, lapse, or reprice, the category, chain, facilitator, and band pages move with the data.

Finance and trading, with 60 of the 100 listings; data APIs are second with 21. ### What do x402 services cost? Listed prices run from $0.00001 to $10 per request.

The directory probes every listing weekly and flags services that lapse, so category, chain, facilitator, and price-band counts describe live services rather than historical registrations. ## Related - [AgentIndex directory](https://x402looker.com/) - [Finance & Trading category](https://x402looker.com/category/finance-trading/) - [Base services](https://x402looker.com/chain/base/) - [All facilitators](https://x402looker.com/facilitator/) - [Micro price band](https://x402looker.com/price-band/micro/)
