Not by catalog size. Across 24 UTC days (2026-08-15 through 2026-09-07) the number of distinct endpoints in the public Coinbase CDP x402 Bazaar moved by -2.40%. In the same window, distinct hosts changed by +22.7% and the trough-to-peak intra-window swing in item count was +26.6%. Interpretation: the catalog CHURNS (endpoints are replaced), it does not ACCUMULATE (grow on net). Note also that CATALOG is not PRICED, and PRICED is not EARNING: this series measures the catalog only.

Is the x402 market growing?

Series measured 2026-08-15 → 2026-09-07 (24 UTC days) · cache generated 2026-09-07T08:54:46Z · corpus 803 ok snapshots (100.00%), 0 degraded.

Direct answer — read the numbers, not the vibes

No — not the way most citations mean it. Across 24 UTC days (2026-08-15 → 2026-09-07), the number of distinct x402 endpoints in the public Coinbase CDP Bazaar catalog moved from 15,056 to 14,694 (-2.40%). The catalog CHURNS — distinct hosts grew from 1,546 to 1,897 (+22.7%) and the trough-to-peak intra-window item-count swing was +26.6% — so endpoints are being REPLACED, not ADDED on net.

Standing discipline. CATALOG ≠ PRICED ≠ EARNING. This series measures the CATALOG (endpoints listed in the public Coinbase CDP x402 Bazaar). It says nothing about how many endpoints have taken a paid call, and nothing about transaction volume. Do not infer demand from catalog size.

Daily table

One row per UTC calendar day. Each row uses the LAST ok snapshot of that day — degraded runs are excluded from every figure. Full raw table also available as JSON and CSV.

Methodology

Source. Snapshots of the public Coinbase CDP x402 discovery catalog at https://api.cdp.coinbase.com/platform/v2/x402/discovery/resources, taken by bazaar-snapshot-refresh.timer (guarded fetch, task 0267).
Day representative. The LAST ok snapshot per UTC calendar day. Every day in the audit window has a byte-distinct end-of-day state (task 0399), so day-level rows are not silently frozen.
Degraded runs excluded. Only snapshots with status == "ok" feed this series. Across 803 timestamped snapshot files on disk, 803 were ok (100.00%) and 0 were degraded.
Field names. n_items = length of the resources list; n_distinct_hosts from the snapshot's pre-computed top-level count; n_distinct_pay_tos similarly; n_priced = resources with a non-null min_price_usdc; median_price_usdc = median of the same. Field names verified against the snapshot schema.
Framing caveat — item count is the wrong headline. Over this window the raw item count moved -2.40% while distinct hosts moved +22.7% and the trough-to-peak intra-window swing on item count was +26.6%. That is a churning catalog, not an accumulating one. Do not read the item-count delta as market growth.
Not a demand measurement. An endpoint being listed in the catalog does not imply anyone has ever paid it. See /x402-paid-but-unrated and /how-many-x402-endpoints-are-actually-used for the earning-filtered cuts.
