The most-paid endpoints are single RPC-style chain reads priced at USD 0.001 to 0.008, and the top 15 endpoints account for 13 percent of all summed payers. The data also shows listings decay without settled payments and that comparable 402 quotes let agents pick cheaper web-search endpoints.", "body_md": "The Coinbase CDP x402 Bazaar lists paid HTTP endpoints that AI agents can discover and pay per call in USDC. Since mid-2026 each listing carries a 30-day *quality* block: unique payers, total calls and the last call time. We index the Bazaar daily for our own [agentscan](https://tanod.dev/learn/) tools, so here is what the data says on 2026-10-09.\n\n**34,062** endpoints listed. An endpoint enters the Bazaar after a settled payment, so almost all show at least one payer, but **16,236** have at most one and only **420** have ten or more.\n\nSummed over all endpoints: **89,620** unique payers and **916,002** paid calls in 30 days (a wallet that pays several endpoints counts once per endpoint).\n\nThe long tail is thin: the top 15 endpoints below hold 13 percent of all summed payers, and one seller's chain-read family fills most of the top 30.\n\n| Endpoint | Payers | Calls | Price | \n|---|---|---|---|\n| `www.ax1.vc/api/dashboard/q-verdict/resource` | 4,750 | 390,208 | USD 0.020 | \n| `api.onesource.io/api/chain/erc20-balance` | 678 | 684 | USD 0.003 | \n| `api.onesource.io/api/chain/block-number` | 631 | 721 | USD 0.001 | \n| `api.onesource.io/api/chain/live-balance` | 607 | 610 | USD 0.003 | \n| `api.onesource.io/api/chain/contract/:address` | 509 | 512 | USD 0.005 | \n| `api.onesource.io/api/chain/erc20-transfers` | 501 | 528 | USD 0.005 | \n| `api.onesource.io/api/chain/block/:number` | 459 | 463 | USD 0.003 | \n| `api.onesource.io/api/chain/total-supply` | 455 | 455 | USD 0.003 | \n| `api.onesource.io/api/chain/ens/:input` | 446 | 448 | USD 0.005 | \n| `api.onesource.io/api/chain/nonce/:address` | 437 | 438 | USD 0.003 | \n| `api.onesource.io/deepstate/v1/book/:book` | 410 | 709 | USD 0.005 | \n| `api.onesource.io/api/chain/network-info` | 397 | 421 | USD 0.001 | \n| `api.onesource.io/deepstate/v1/stats/:book` | 393 | 658 | USD 0.005 | \n| `api.onesource.io/deepstate/v1/candles/:book` | 390 | 634 | USD 0.005 | \n| `api.onesource.io/deepstate/v1/markets` | 390 | 390 | USD 0.005 | \n\nKeyword match on the endpoint URL and description, so the topics overlap and the sums are approximate.\n\n| Topic | Endpoints | Payers (summed) | Calls | \n|---|---|---|---|\n| Chain reads (balances, blocks, logs, ENS, calls) | 4205 | 19,704 | 148,727 | \n| Web search | 3137 | 7,358 | 89,690 | \n| Company and people enrichment | 3214 | 5,713 | 76,626 | \n| Web scraping and page reading | 1149 | 2,389 | 24,953 | \n| News | 790 | 2,073 | 7,930 | \n| Stocks and tradfi | 652 | 1,644 | 4,919 | \n|  | 891 | 1,526 | 16,481 | \n| Weather | 345 | 854 | 1,754 | \n|  | 232 | 546 | 3,239 | \n| LLM chat completions | 114 | 530 | 62,222 | \n| OCR | 73 | 161 | 643 | \n| Image generation | 46 | 136 | 1,616 | \n\n**Small, composable reads win.** The most-paid endpoints are single RPC-style reads at USD 0.001 to 0.008: a balance, a block number, a receipt. Agents chain them; they don't buy bundles.\n\n**Price is visible and comparable.** Two web-search endpoints with the same upstream can differ by 20 percent; agents that compare 402 quotes pick the cheaper one.\n\n**Listings decay.** Bazaar entries without a settled payment for 30 days drop out, so a seller with many routes needs real traffic on each, or fewer routes.\n\n**Data and news beat utilities.** Company and people enrichment, news and market data each draw over a thousand summed payers; file conversion and text utilities draw far fewer, so far.\n\nSource: the public CDP Bazaar discovery listing, snapshot 2026-10-09T04:31:37Z; quality fields as published by the Bazaar.
