What Agent Charts is
Agent Charts tracks how AI agents actually pay on-chain.
We read the payments from public blockchains ourselves, take out what our rules don't count, and show what's left: who gets paid, how much, on which chains, and how that changes over time. The ranking is one view of that data. The numbers update every day; the review and the weekly report happen on Mondays.
We only see stablecoin payments on-chain, made over x402 or MPP, protocols built for software to pay. Card payments and other off-chain methods aren't included. We can't prove an AI sent each one, so we say what we count and show what we left out.
Because we read the chain ourselves, a seller's place doesn't depend on what the seller says. It isn't a directory of every tool, and a place in the ranking isn't an endorsement. Spend isn't the same as a seller's revenue or profit. We don't sell places or ranks. It's made by Artem Grebenkin.
What's included
Payments agents make for a single use of a paid tool, settled on-chain in stablecoins, since 1 Jan 2026. x402 is an open way for software to pay for a web request on the spot. MPP is Stripe's payment protocol, and does much the same on the Tempo chain.
| Chain | How agents pay | Coins |
|---|---|---|
| Base | x402 | USDC, EURC |
| Solana | x402 | USDC |
| Tempo | MPP | USDC.e, OUSD, pathUSD, USDT0 |
A seller's money on all chains adds up to one rank, and every ranking shows which chains it came from. A seller is one business: several wallets under one domain, or one web address on Tempo, count as one seller.
In the 30 days to 9 Nov 2026, agents paid $1,604,979 on-chain. $546,090 of it counted, and 552 sellers made the ranking.
What's left out, and why
Payments we see and don't count
Most of the money that moves doesn't count toward the ranking. Where the money went shows all of it. In the 30 days to 9 Nov 2026:
- Fewer than 10 buyers, $888,206. A seller needs at least ten different paying customers in 30 days. Below that, one account could make a service look popular. See who.
- Removed after review, $5,936. Our AI reviewer checks anything odd and a person approves every removal, made only with written evidence, never on a pattern alone. Every removal. Think we got one wrong? Write to [email protected].
- Wallets tied to the seller, $159,455. A buyer funded by the seller or wallets tied to it isn't an outside customer. We leave out those wallets, and the seller's other buyers still count. See who.
- Seller paid itself, $963.73. Money moved between a seller's own wallets.
- Marked by a memo only, $4,327. On Tempo, a payment's memo can name a service, but anyone can write one without paying that service. We don't count that money until the service confirms the wallet.
- Tiny test payments. Amounts too small to be a real price.
Accounts we can't name are different: $429,768 went to 281 of them. That money counts in the totals, but we don't rank an account by name until we can prove who owns it.
Payments we can't see
- Card payments, including the card networks' agent programs and the Agentic Commerce Protocol from OpenAI and Stripe. They don't settle on a public chain.
- Lightning payments (L402). They aren't recorded one by one on a public chain.
- Google's AP2. It authorizes payments rather than moving money. When it pays in stablecoins through x402, that payment is in our numbers.
- Free tools. They leave no payment to count.
Places we checked, where there's little to count yet
Last checked on 1 November 2026. A chain joins when agents pay there in meaningful amounts and we can read it ourselves.
- Tron. It holds the largest pool of USDT anywhere, but that's people and businesses paying each other. Agent payments have barely started: one x402 payment processor there has published six settlements.
- Other chains such as Arbitrum and Polygon. On 25 October 2026 the x402 processors we know of carried 39 payments on Arbitrum and 6 on Polygon, against 164,026 on Base.
- Virtuals' Agent Commerce Protocol. About 330 jobs and $500 to $700 in the week of 19 October 2026.
