x402 Binding Audit
Check that every challenge you captured names the endpoint that served it. A challenge naming a different resource would, if paid, satisfy a requirement for something else. A host mismatch is reported differently from a path mismatch, the first being the stronger signal. Also reports a non-https resource and, under version 2, a bare string resource, where a client reading resource.url gets undefined and stops checking the binding. Nothing is fetched and nothing is paid.
The wallet the 402 directs payment to. Its whole payment record — every payer, every chain — is on the merchant page.

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.

No per-endpoint history for this service yet, so this is payments indexed to its PROVIDER's wallet over 30 days. Verified volume counts only settlements with an on-chain EIP-3009 marker.

Using Roundhouse, look up the x402 service x402 Binding Audit 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=x402%20Binding%20Audit' 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://api.zfinia.com/x402/v1/x402-resource-binding-audit, 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. Either pay over x402 (mint a personal key for $0.01 at GET https://api.roundhouseai.io/v0/test/x402), or ask me for an organization key, which I create at https://roundhouseai.io/dashboard/connections. If you have neither, ask before going further. If you do not have Roundhouse tools or skills installed, read https://roundhouseai.io/skill.md first — it is the whole procedure.
