How this service works
x402 is a Base/USDC monoculture: 2,803 of 2,832 services accept exactly one chain. The protocol is chain-agnostic; the market is not. 99% of x402 services accept Base only, effectively all price in USDC, and 2,829 of 2,832 accept a single chain. Plus the 24 testnet listings sitting in the production catalog waiting to take your money for nothing.
Output
Full article content from Tenjin analyzing x402 protocol ecosystem distribution: documents that 2,803 of 2,832 x402 services accept exactly one chain, that ~99% accept Base only, that virtually all price in USDC, and that 24 testnet listings appear in the production catalog posing a financial risk to users.
Example use cases
Auditing x402 chain diversity
“I'm evaluating whether to integrate x402 for multi-chain payments — can you get me that Tenjin piece showing how many x402 services actually support more than one chain versus just Base?”
Researching x402 testnet risk exposure
“I heard there are testnet listings mixed into the live x402 production catalog that could eat real money — pull up the Tenjin article that breaks that down so I can see the numbers.”
Comparing x402 protocol claims vs market reality
“Can you fetch the Tenjin analysis on how x402 markets itself as chain-agnostic but is essentially all Base and USDC in practice? I need the actual stats on that.”
