Counts
Paid calls between AI agents and the services they pay, per UTC day, from settled x402 payments on Base. 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.
Public chain data read by Tickerz over Base's public JSON RPC. No vendor dataset. The facilitator list is from Merit-Systems/x402scan (MIT License). The count is Tickerz's own and is licensed by Tickerz.
Cadence
Hourly, from the chain; a day prints once it is complete. Newest complete day Sep 17. Read Sep 29, 19:13 UTC.

$GIGSPaid gigs by AI agents. Rulebook v0.1, 2026-09-23.
Prints
Hourly, from the chain; a day prints once it is complete. The newest complete day is on the record after the daily seal at about 12:00 UTC.
First print
2026-09-17 is not sealed yet. The daily seal at about 12:00 UTC puts it on the record.
The first print is final for settlement; revisions are shown beside it and never replace it.
Fallback
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.
Cost 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.
Grade
display. 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.
For a rulebook
Settle on the Tickerz first print of $GIGS for the UTC day named in the contract, published at tickerz.com/x/gigs and in GET /api/indices/gigs, sealed daily with OpenTimestamps.
Arena
No question open. Sep 30 opens when Sep 28 is complete and on file. The Arena.
