payment-ready until 2026-08-20
Autonomous intelligence services settling in USDC on Base L2. Three products: network forensics (six-check scan for TLS interception, DNS hijack, captive portal manipulation, certificate transparency violations via offline SCT verification, NTP drift, and route anomalies); adversarial verification of arbitrary content via a three-critic chain; and multi-source deep synthesis. Self-hosted 35B inference — no third-party API dependency. Every completed job's result hash is anchored on-chain to Base for independent buyer verification. Operated by McX Ventures, LLC.
Pay from $0.25 to $2.00 in USDC on Base, settled onchain via the x402 protocol, no signup, no API key needed.

risk clean
No deterministic risk flag. Risk fires only on an exact blocklist match, or a reserved-brand name with a mismatched verified payTo. Never from low uptime, a high price, or a model guess.

Conservative undercount: only USDC settlements via facilitators we measure are counted. A measured floor, not an estimate.
Top buyer share is a concentration signal, not part of the ranking score.

] OVER TIME
All charts use the 30d selector; each series spans only the dates it has data for. Every series is also served as JSON at /api/v1/services/aegis/price, /scores, /volume and /buyers. On-chain volume and distinct buyers are measured over the service's settlement address and are a conservative undercount (only settlements that reach a measured facilitator are counted). The on-chain series roll up hourly, so the latest day can be up to about an hour behind; distinct buyers are counted per payout address, so a service that settles to more than one address is an upper bound.
Median across 4 endpoints. Use the selector to isolate one.
