Summary

x402 Trust provides continuous monitoring and risk scores for over 85,000 endpoints to prevent AI agents from being scammed in payments, with semantic search to identify trustworthy services.

Your agent sent $5 to a hijacked x402 endpoint. No data came back, and the money is gone now. The preflight-check looked perfect: - Spec compliant endpoint - Answered with low latency ... but your agent still got scammed. Why? Because of what a one-off check can't see: The endpoints history. It can't see that a week ago it has moved its payTo address to a new wallet. It can't instantly see that this new wallet has zero economic activity associated with it. This is what x402 Trust provides. Constant probes, machine-readable risk-flags and a recommendation verdict for >85,000 publicly listed endpoints. Never send money into the void and never pay an untrustworthy endpoint. Our trust-score is cheap enough that it's a rounding error for your agentic payments. And an agent handling real money should be better safe than sorry. And: Our semantic search enables your agent to find a trustworthy endpoint that fits his need in the first place. No more guessing, no need to know any service-name or -URL.
