the signal. underneath the build. is live. pay per call. no accounts. no keys._

A continuously-updated entity intelligence corpus — funding moves, model releases, security events, narrative shifts across AI & crypto infrastructure — sold the way agents buy: pay per call over x402, USDC on Base.

what the pipelines are surfacing

a live read. not a dashboard. the corpus, breathing.

Real items from the same corpus the endpoints query — refreshed as the pipelines pack. This is the raw material behind /intel/latest and /intel/signals/:type.

the surface / endpoints

eight paid routes. one corpus.

Each route is x402-gated: request it, receive a 402 Payment Required with a price, pay in USDC on Base, get the data. Drag the rail — or let an agent read the full contract at /ai/service.json.

GET /intel/entity/:name
Research any AI/crypto entity in one call — story-merged resolution, sentiment trend, related entities, source tiers, lifecycle.

$0.25 USDC / callenrich
GET /intel/timeline/:name
The story-shaped view: how a narrative evolved, which sources drove it, the sentiment arc across time. Unique on the Bazaar.

GET /intel/stats
Corpus overview — entities, signals, 24h/7d activity, active stories, top signal types. Coverage before depth.

GET /x/user/:handle
X account metadata — based_in, source app, username-change count, recent-activity proxy. The utility that proved the rail.

GET /x/user/:handle/recent
Recent tweets with engagement metrics via read-only upstream — the gap note stays honest when data isn't served.

the handshake / how it works

an api that gets paid — without accounts.

HTTP 402 sat unused for thirty years. x402 turned it into the machine-payment rail: request, price, sign, settle, deliver.

01
The agent asks
A normal HTTP request — from any agent or developer. No headers, no key, no prior relationship.
GET https://pay.retraced.site/intel/entity/openai
02
The server answers with a price
A 402 Payment Required with a PAYMENT-REQUIRED header — price in USDC atomic units, Base contract, pay-to wallet, nonce.
# 402
payment-required: { price: 250000, asset: 0x8335…, network: eip155:8453 }
03
The agent signs — no gas
A gasless EIP-3009 transfer authorization. The agent pays nothing in gas; it proves it can pay.
signed = signer.transferWithAuthorization({ amount: 250000 })
04
The facilitator settles
The CDP facilitator verifies and submits the on-chain USDC transfer — covering the ~0.001 gas itself.
# settlement → basescan.org/tx/0x…
05
The data returns
HTTP 200 OK with a PAYMENT-RESPONSE receipt and the payload — in roughly a second.
200 OK + payment-response: 0x41e2…
{ resolved: "OpenAI…", signals: 25, sentiment: {…} }
for agents / discoverable on purpose

the site is machine-legible. the corpus is live.

crd retraced publishes the GEO contract — the machine-readable surface that tells crawlers, LLMs, and agents what this site is, what it serves, and how to pay. For humans: this page. For agents: the contract. Every file below is live and served at the path shown.

Humans scroll. Agents read JSON. Both get the same eight routes.

/llms.txt200 · map /.well-known/ai.txt200 · perms /ai/service.json200 · contract /ai/summary.json200 · summary /ai/faq.json200 · questions /sitemap-llm.xml200 · sitemap
gptbot · ccbot · claude bot · perplexitybot · google-extended · applebot-extended — allowed in robots.txt. The paid /intel/ and /x/ routes are declared off-limits to crawlers: agents pay for those. Agents never scroll; the contract is the scroll.
