x402 from zero

Solana

The chain that passed Base on daily x402 transactions on 25 August and carried 76% of them in the four weeks to 22 September (Artemis data).

Checked 11 October

Our view

Solana leads on transaction counts, while on x402scan Base still had 66% of x402 dollars in the 30 days to 11 October, and the August swing looks like one BlockRun payer changing chain (the researchers’ inference). Its share has swung between 49.7% and 88% this year, so a lead built on a few routing decisions can reverse. The research did not score rivals; these labels are the site’s reading of the dated evidence.
