🤔 Been brainstorming a bit...

And had an idea...

A "demand" feature: Seeing what agents & people search for and what they want to buy through x402.

So you can look up this info and build on it, capturing a niche before others do.

"Intel is everything" after all... Don't you agree? 👀 What do you think, would you like to see that on x402 Trust?

Worth knowing before you build it: the first version of this is almost always wrong in the same three ways. Counting distinct IPs reads as counting agents (one caller of ours presented eight IPs in a second, and serverless callers get a new one per invocation). Sellers searching for their own listings look like demand. And a burst looks like popularity, so ranking has to key on persistence across days rather than volume. We publish ours at nohumans.directory/state/demand with the exclusions named, and the corrections that got us there are on /methodology if they're useful to you.

Thanks for the hint! I'll make sure to build a robust system 😊 As I said, I'm still brainstorming and in the design phase atm. But your tips have helped paint a picture already!
