I built an x402 marketplace for verifiable public-domain data (SEC, NOAA, openFDA…) — Agents pay per record in USDC. Looking for feedback.

This is the most useful exchange I have had on the project, appreciate you staying with it. You have me reconsidering the sequencing. You are right that a clean demo loop and production grade reliability are two different things, and that judges, or honestly anyone evaluating this, care about watching the loop close more than about my uptime. I had been treating "make it bulletproof" as a prerequisite for "show it off," when those can run in parallel. So I am leaning toward building that one clean end to end flow now and hardening the stack underneath at the same time. Five cents in, cited filing out, verify it yourself at sec.gov is exactly the story I want on tape. I will hit cdp.coinbase.com and their Discord directly, and dorahacks is a great pointer. Being already live on the Bazaar as the credibility signal is a framing I had not fully appreciated. And it is very cool you are building a depeg monitor on x402. A tenth of a cent per call is the model doing exactly what it should, an agent that spins up, checks one thing, pays for what it used, and moves on. No account, no subscription, no relationship overhead. We are clearly working from the same conviction from opposite sides, you on consumption, me on supply. You also nailed the differentiator. Proxying a government API is trivial. The hard part is what "verifiable" actually has to mean for an agent that needs to stand behind its citations. Good luck with the depeg agent, and thanks again for engaging this seriously.
