## Notes, newest first

- **No. 3, Main Street: More Lookouts Than Miners** (October 28, 2026). Three weeks watching the same x402 sellers: the street held still, few new buyers walked in, and 129 named bots asked our price without buying. https://api.provenpaid.com/notes/main-street
- **No. 2, The Assay: Who Actually Pays x402 Sellers** (October 18, 2026). 202 directory listings narrow to 6 receiving wallets and 3 sellers with real customers; a seller asks to be checked. https://api.provenpaid.com/notes/who-actually-pays
- **No. 1, Boomtown: The State of x402 Demand** (October 9, 2026). Demand is real but concentrated: more sellers than buyers, and a few wallets do most of the paying. https://api.provenpaid.com/notes/state-of-x402-demand
