These are observations, not accusations. A band of LOW, MEDIUM or HIGH describes how much of what we check we were able to confirm — it is not a judgement about the operator of an endpoint. Every signal, its weight and its rationale are published on the methodology page, and any operator can claim an endpoint, correct a fact or opt out.

Security
1 to look at
A check that could not run reports skip, and a skip is never counted as a pass.
- Result: pass wire_form_detected Served as v2-header.
- Result: pass base64_strict The strict decoder accepted the header's base64 framing.
- Result: pass json_wellformed
- Result: pass x402_version_known Declared x402Version 2.
- Result: pass accepts_present The challenge offers one way to pay.
- Result: pass size_within_limit Read 345 bytes, within the probe's cap.
- Result: pass network_caip2_wellformed network: eip155:8453
- Result: pass network_recognized Recognized means present in the tx402 signed release manifest.

Observed
first scanFirst seen: just now · no history yet
Availability, latency and price stability need repeated observations over time. One probe is not a measurement of any of them, so none is shown.
This endpoint is now in the corpus, so the crawler will keep watching it. Price and recipient changes are recorded permanently; availability and latency are sampled.

Raw signals
The exact input the scoring function was given. A signal we could not determine has
observed: false and contributes nothing to the score — it is never counted as a failure.
