State of Agent Commerce — July 2026

Attributed volume stands at 14,175 attributed txns/day [Attributed Volume, ~80%] (of the 987 recipient wallets captured on 2026-07-31, top-N by transaction count, list_complete: false) — that is the stable, defensible read for this period. ASV supports it: $23.1k USDC and 251,863 txns/day [Total Settled Volume], 7-day rolling average of daily medians, though that series carries its own intraday-volatility caveat. Data & scraping and Search & discovery together account for the two largest individual category shares in the attributed series. Comms & messaging appears for the first time, with 1 provider and 4 daily txns [Attributed Volume, ~80%].

— Paddock API

Query the entire agent economy in plain English.

Every number in this report is live in the Paddock API — and you don't need a query language to reach it. Connect Paddock's MCP server to Claude, ChatGPT, or any LLM client and ask:

>Agent Settlement Volume — 7-day rolling average of daily medians?
>Top 5 categories by mapped share this month, with provider counts.
>Which providers gained payer share over the last 30 days?
>Pull the settlement series as a 90-day time series.

Paddock runs the question against the full snapshot archive and attribution graph and hands your model back clean, cited data — so your next memo, model, or dashboard runs on numbers no one else has.
