Mall context
As of an August 2026 snapshot: on the order of 169 attested listings on the largest facilitator catalog. The rail is young. Receipt demand is ahead of supply.
What we will not claim
- Not “only attested seller on x402.”
- Not organic GMV without on-chain tx_hash.
- Not a substitute for diligencing sealed physics — attestation is integrity, not alpha.
