The scoreboard · settlement-layer truth

The Agent Economy, measured on-chain.

Not listing counts, not press releases — actual stablecoin settled to the wallets that agent services get paid at. We count every payment we can verify at the settlement layer and tell you exactly what we can’t yet see.

Read the number right

Directories advertise 48,831 listings. But only 434 wallets have ever been paid — about one real earner for every 113 listings. We lead with what got paid, and treat the listing count as context, never the headline.

Raw is not real

Of $68,530.55 in gross on-chain settlement, $46,835.41 (68.3%) across 29 wallets is single-payer self-funding or non-production traffic — e.g. one wallet takes tens of thousands from a single payer. We report the validated floor of $21,695.14 and show the raw number beside it, never instead of it. How we adjust →

We track concentration over time as a health signal — whether revenue is spreading across providers or pooling into a few.
