X402/REGISTER

Who runs this, and why you can check our work

Who

The register is operated by David Valentin Schmid, a sole proprietor in Unterstammheim, Switzerland, under Swiss law, with a published address and a registered company identity. See the Impressum. You know who we are; if a rating is wrong, you know exactly whom to hold to it and how.

How it works

Our own infrastructure probes every service in the public x402 catalog every hour: does it answer with spec-valid payment terms, how fast, and does the price it demands match the price it advertises. Scores are computed from those measurements with published formulas; every number on a report card traces to probes we ran, and the raw definitions are on the page, not in a black box.

What keeps it honest

How it's funded

Today: self-funded; the unpaid probes cost close to nothing and run on our own hardware. If this becomes a business, revenue comes from the buyer side only: paid score lookups and routing referrals. Never from the services being rated.

For buyers and builders

The register is free to read and free for agents to query. If you want programmatic score lookups at scale, routing integration, or a contractual tier, tell us your use case: get in touch. Revenue only ever comes from the buyer side — never from the services being rated.
