Every rail page on this site ends at settlement. This is the sentence either side of it: what the work was advertised at before anybody paid, and what happened to the money afterwards.
What it costs
Prices sellers publish in the x402 catalogues we read, from 0.020¢ to $1000.00. Publishing a price is not evidence anybody paid it. What was actually settled is on the market page.
150 of the largest listings asked directly, and their answer compared to the price they published. Aimed at the expensive end rather than sampled at random: a sample this size cannot be representative, so it is pointed where a discrepancy would matter.
8 sellers quote a price they did not list. A catalogue cannot detect that about itself, which is why this check makes requests at all.
1,789 agent cards declare x402 support. Asked at the endpoint they declare, 152 of the 400 sampled quoted nothing, and that is not evidence they were lying. A card declares a service root, and a root is not a paid resource: prices live one path down, which is where the catalogue above finds them. What the sweep establishes is that a declared endpoint cannot be used to discover a price, which is a gap in the registration standard rather than in the sellers.
Where the money goes
What was actually settled, rail by rail: prices and settlement. The ladder these rails sit on: one ladder, seven rungs.
Each bar is a share of the same 233,202 earners. They are NOT exclusive and are deliberately not drawn as parts of one circle: an address that spends some and holds the rest is in two of them, and today the four together name 73,944 memberships across 233,202 addresses.
Nothing we can see: 166,050 · 71%, the only figure here that IS a partition of the rest. It is a fact about how far this linkage reaches, not a fifth thing agents do: revenue moved to an exchange, to an unlinked treasury or onto a chain we do not read looks identical from here to revenue that never moved.
Holding a balance is answered by two readers, and they are not the same question. The narrow one asks whether an earner still holds the asset it was paid in, on the chain it was paid on, and it has asked that of 233,059 earners: 58,699 still do. The general one prices a balance in dollars and has reached 323 addresses so far, which is why the dollar figure above is a floor and the count is not. Trading can only find an address on the four venues we read, and none of them carries a single attributable agent.
