Coinbase authored x402 (a web-native way for AI agents to pay per use), launched the x402 Foundation with Cloudflare, and reports tens of thousands of active agents moving stablecoins over HTTP. Credit where it's due: your consumer domain even ships a real llms.txt (the file AI assistants read first), and CDP docs ship a real A2A agent card (a file that lets other AI agents discover and call you), genuinely ahead of the field. What the agentic-commerce thesis still needs is a merchant that settles verified real-world work, not just digital APIs, and EcoWealth is a live, independent, standard-conformant x402 merchant doing exactly that, on Base, over your own standard.
Credit-first. Each is reproducible with one command: the brief has the exact curl lines and HTTP statuses.
www.coinbase.com/llms.txt → 200, text/plain, 5,098 B, routes agents to Agentic Wallet, AgentKit, x402. The company that wrote x402 exposes an agent surface. Credited.docs.cdp.coinbase.com/.well-known/agent-card.json → 200, application/json, protocolVersion 0.3. A genuine agent card. Credited.www.coinbase.com/.well-known/security.txt is real but Expires: 2024-06-01, stale since mid-2024. For the firm setting agentic-payment norms, a precise hygiene miss.www.coinbase.com/.well-known/x402 and /agent-card.json are true 404s. The x402 author doesn't ship an x402 discovery manifest on coinbase.com; the agent card lives only on docs.The strongest baseline we've reviewed, credited in full first. Then five precise findings: the expired security.txt, the missing consumer-domain x402/agent-card, and the one category the whole stack lacks: a proof-of-outcome merchant for real-world work. Each with the exact URL, status, and re-check command.
Read the briefIn Coinbase's palette: a CDP Agentic Wallet discovers our work-packet program in an x402 directory, pays $0.10 over the exact standard you published, and receives a proof-verified ecological work packet with an on-chain settlement receipt. The first physical-outcome merchant category, running on your rails. Concept-labeled.
Run the demoConcept files: an llms.txt for the merchant, an A2A agent card, a standard x402 accepts[] block, MCP (the protocol that lets an AI assistant call your tools) schemas for fund → proof → settle, and a concierge persona. Boxed and vendor-neutral, exactly the shape your Bazaar indexes.
accepts[] emitted, EIP-3009 exact-scheme accepted, self-settled with no facilitator (our own settlement core). Endpoints discoverable at vealth.net/.well-known/x402 (real JSON, 22 paths): work-packet $0.10, health-packet $0.05. Settlement lands on the EWP contract on Base mainnet 0x76c17C…A14B (first settled packet workId 14). Board: 7,624 postings / ~$671k posted value (vealth.net/labor/stats). We are already inside your ecosystem, a Base merchant paying and settling over your own standard.
This is your own thesis working, end-to-end, in one afternoon for ten cents, no adoption required, because it runs on the standard you already published.
$0.10. A runnable client with a dry-run default is at vealth.net/recipes.html.Why this isn't scary: the agent cannot do anything invisible. Every action embeds its own receipt: permanent, public, verifiable. That is more accountability than most enterprise software offers, not less. And it is a literal end-to-end demo of x402 doing what you built it for: settling a real merchant, over HTTP, keyless.
The bet: you already report tens of thousands of active x402 agents and nine-figure transaction counts: the demand is real and it's yours. Being early on a proof-of-outcome merchant category costs $0.10 and one afternoon. Being late means the verified physical-work track records index into someone else's directory first.
The teach-block above is the free, no-account first move. The listing/funding ask rides on top: small, concrete, tied to your own agentic-commerce thesis.
accepts[] and self-settles EIP-3009.Deliverable in every case: an on-chain receipt you verify yourself, settled over your own standard. Contact: [email protected].
