Risk Pulse: Vol expansion contex
We measure systemic stress before crisis is obvious. Thermodynamic Risk Intelligence for individuals, businesses, governments, funds and institutions — not a VIX, not a news tally.

0x560d98EAF3777A88e40Dc19a2d8c8493ad789981The wallet the 402 directs payment to. Its whole payment record — every payer, every chain — is on the merchant page.

Provider
The payTo wallet does not resolve to a registered ERC-8004 agent. That is not a verdict on the service — most of the catalog is unregistered.
Live 402 challenge
Captured by the enrichment pass, not read just now. Prices can change — always read the 402 the endpoint answers with.

Using Roundhouse, look up the x402 service Risk Pulse: Vol expansion contex and tell me whether it is worth paying: what a call costs, whether the endpoint answered when last probed, and what its payment record actually shows. curl -s 'https://api.roundhouseai.io/v0/endpoints?q=Risk%20Pulse%3A%20Vol%20expansion%20contex' curl -s 'https://api.roundhouseai.io/v0/merchants/<the payTo wallet returned above>' Then call it: read the price from the live 402 at https://www.entropyindex.com/api/v1/risk/vol-expansion-context, never from a cached figure, and pay with an x402 client. The /v0 API needs an API key (`authorization: Bearer rh_live_…`) on everything except /v0/unified* and /v0/endpoints. Mint a personal key for $0.01 at GET https://api.roundhouseai.io/v0/test/x402, or use an organization key from https://roundhouseai.io/dashboard/team. If you do not have Roundhouse tools or skills installed, read https://roundhouseai.io/skill.md first — it is the whole procedure.
