State of Agent Commerce — June 2026

325,013 settled transactions per day and $18.3k USDC per day — that is the current run rate of the x402 agent economy. Of the services Paddock can map to named providers, Markets & DeFi takes the largest slice at roughly 26% of the attributed market. Transaction volume grew 261% over the 30-day period; dollar volume grew 130% over the same window, signaling that agents are transacting more frequently at lower average ticket sizes. ---

— 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:

>Wash-adjusted x402 volume on Base vs Solana last week?
>Top 5 categories by agent spend this month, with concentration for each.
>Which providers gained payer share over the last 30 days?
>Pull the ACI 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.
