# $GIGS · Paid gigs over x402

Paid calls settled over x402 on Base, per UTC day, between paying wallets and the services they pay; whether a person, a script or an AI agent holds a wallet is not on the chain. Every USDC signed transfer (EIP-3009) on Base is counted from the chain; one transaction in sixteen, chosen by the low byte of keccak256(tx hash, block hash), is read in full. A payment counts when one of the 128 x402 facilitator wallets on the list settled it. A payer paying itself is left out. The level is the estimate, every signed transfer times the payments per sampled transaction; its 95% range prints beside it.

## Settlement

Why this grade: Counted by Tickerz from the chain with no vendor in the path, but estimated from a one in sixteen sample on a free public node. It becomes a candidate when every transaction is read.
What it costs to move: Moderate. A payment costs a transaction and the amount paid, so pushing thousands of fake gigs costs real money and shows up as a few payers with many calls.
When the source is late: An hour the node cannot serve is retried on the next run and the day stays open, so nothing settles. A day is complete once its 24 hours are read; a day that cannot be read is void.
Precision: Whole gigs, rounded from the estimate, with the 95% range beside it. A day is marked thin when sampled paying wallets are under 70% of the median of the 28 complete days before it, once 14 earlier days are on file, and the level still prints.
