OceanAlt Agent Payment Tracker
The bar at the top of the homepage is our running record of the agentic payments space, not a market feed. Below are the definition, source and refresh time of each number. Every figure links to the list it is counted from, so you can count it yourself.
Data principles: Every metric shows its definition, source and update time. We don't publish industry totals we can't verify, and we don't merge numbers computed under different definitions. When a source is unavailable we keep the last valid value with its timestamp; after 7 days we show "data unavailable".

These are the most-quoted numbers in this space. Until we have a verifiable source and a single consistent definition, we do not publish them.
- ◻️
x402 transaction count and volume — Needs a verifiable on-chain definition and index; counting differs across implementations and must not be merged
- ◻️
Protocol activity — No consistent cross-protocol definition of activity yet
- ◻️
Merchants and APIs accepting agentic payments — Requires case-by-case verification; sample too small for a credible total
- ◻️
Funding rounds and amounts — Public disclosure is incomplete; any count would be systematically low
