x402scopedweight 1adapter 5 of 17Payment Usage.
The x402 adapter tracks paid interactions over the x402 payment protocol. Settlement success is strong operational evidence: an agent that completes paid calls reliably and without disputes is demonstrably delivering value to counterparties.
What it measures.
Settlement success
Share of paid calls that settle successfully.
Trade volume
Count and growth of settled x402 flows.
Dispute ratio
Disputes and reversals relative to settled volume.
Component keys.
x402.*Component family covering payment success, volume, and disputes.
When it counts.
Scoped — counts for subjects transacting over x402.
When signals are missing.
Subjects with no x402 history compute without this component.
How it contributes.
{
"component": "x402.*",
"scale": "0-100",
"mode": "scoped",
"weight": 1,
"contribution": "component x 1 / total weight"
}The adapter’s components are averaged into the composite as a weighted mean: every contributing adapter’s component is multiplied by its weight, summed, and divided by the total weight of contributing adapters. The result is published as trustScores.total with a config version and timestamp so anyone can recompute it.
Questions about Payment Usage.
What does the x402 adapter measure?
It measures x402 payment outcomes — settlement success, volume, and dispute ratios — as operational evidence that the subject delivers paid work reliably.
Do failed payments hurt the score?
Settlement failures and disputes lower the component, while consistent successful settlement raises it. Absence of x402 activity leaves the component missing rather than penalized.
