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.

What does this x402 endpoint charge?

https only. We fetch it once, read the 402, and stop.

0.030000 USDC per request

Description On-chain address risk scoring and intelligence. Analyzes any Ethereum, Base, or Sepolia address across 6 security signals: balance profile, transaction history depth, contract detection, bytecode analysis (self-destruct patterns, delegate calls), proxy detection (EIP-1967), and known-risky address matching. Returns a 0-100 risk score, severity-ranked flags, and full profile data in a single call.

Band: LOW 96/100 · v1 · static_only

A band describes how much of what we check we were able to confirm. It is not a judgement about the operator of an endpoint.

  • Result: pass 25 The challenge decodes under the strict x402 decoder tx402 uses before paying. challenge_decodes
  • Result: pass 15 The challenge describes the endpoint that served it. resource_origin_match
  • Result: pass 12 The amount is a canonical atomic integer. amount_canonical

Weights, thresholds and the rationale for each signal are published at the methodology page. Adding up the weights above reproduces the score — that reproducibility is how a verdict can be argued with.

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

Test with tx402 →

Pre-filled with this endpoint's real terms. Your signer stays in your process — this service never sees a key, never asks for one, and cannot build a payment.

CLI — dry run, nothing is signed

# --dry-run stops after the policy decision. Nothing is signed and nothing is spent.
