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. You can click into each list and count them yourself.
Data principles: We don't display industry totals we can't verify; we don't merge numbers computed under different definitions; and when a source is unavailable we keep the last valid value with its timestamp — we show the last known good value with its timestamp, and after 7 days we simply say the data is 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 Until we have a verifiable source and a single consistent definition, we do not publish them.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
