Premium research

How x402 works

One payment, one resource, no account

Every premium report keeps its summary, methodology and key findings free. Only the full dataset and regional breakdowns sit behind a gate. Paying unlocks that resource for good — no subscription, no login.

Settled over HTTP

A request for a paid resource gets a 402 Payment Required answer that names the price in USDC on Base. Your wallet or agent signs a transfer for exactly that amount, retries the request, and receives the content plus a receipt it can reuse on any device.

Built for agents first

Each report exposes its tables as JSON or CSV at stable URLs, priced per table, with a free catalogue at /research/[slug]/data that describes the columns before anything is charged.

Gasless, and declared

We cover the transfer fee. Gated sections are declared as paid in the page’s structured data so search engines never see content a reader cannot.
