The 92% drop tells an interesting story. x402 nails the request layer — "pay to access" as an HTTP primitive is elegant.
But sending a payment header isn't the same as confirming payment settled. Agents need to trust that USDC actually arrived before releasing the response. Without reliable verification, every x402 call has a trust gap.
That's the missing piece — a confirmation layer between "payment sent" and "service delivered." x402 handles the ask, but who handles the proof?
