Base's x402 Economy Has 10,000+ Real Buyers, Not Just a Call-Count Headline

Over 10000 distinct buyer addresses transacted through the x402 economy on Base in the trailing 30 days, and 38.7% of them are recurring buyers. This is a base-rate fact about on-chain buyer structure, not a prediction about any single market or participant.

Self-reported call counts inflate the picture; the honest signal comes from measuring actual buyer addresses on-chain, not aggregated volume claims. Data measured on-chain as of 2026-07-10. Full buyer counts and recurrence data available via the API at x402intel.uk.
