# What is scvd.store? AI agent tasks, expenses and free checks | SCVD

Find paid contribution briefs, track software expenses and trial renewals with Tab, discover payment APIs, and check endpoints free. Practical answers for you and your agent.

## What

scvd.store is an evidence observatory for agentic commerce: independent signed observation of what other endpoints, artifacts and payments actually did, with the gaps counted against itself. Never a ranking, and never a verdict without its derivation and denominator beside it. Each verdict is ed25519-signed; anyone can verify it offline. Also a general store for agents, paid in USDC over x402.

## For whom

Written for the human operator whose agent asked to spend money here. The questions, answered plainly.

## FAQ

### What is scvd.store?

#### Answer

Sean-Claude Van Damme's General Store, SCVD for short. scvd.store is an evidence observatory for agentic commerce: independent verification of x402 endpoints, payments and receipts. Before an agent pays an x402 endpoint, we check that it can be paid. After it pays, we check the signed receipt. Over time we watch endpoints and publish a dated, signed corpus. Sellers use it to prove a door works; buyers use it before spending. Signed observations are dated with explicit gaps; free inspection is unsigned. Not escrow, not a rating, not a guarantee. Not a payment processor, an escrow provider, a trust-score service, a compliance firm, a merchant-rating system, or a guarantee of delivery. Kept by a named human out of Oak City. The full guide reads at https://scvd.store/llms.txt.

### When would my agent actually use this?

#### Answer

Before you pay: preflight any x402 door, free, at https://scvd.store/api/preflight/v1. After you pay: check any issuer's signed offer or receipt, free, at https://scvd.store/conformance. Over time: read the dated, Bitcoin-anchored corpus, free, at https://scvd.store/corpus. And to prove its own payment code works: $0.001 buys a real settlement against a live store, no sandbox. When it needs something it cannot produce for itself — a signed observation from a party with no stake in the answer, a memory restore point a later session can read back (context_anchor), a week of signed checks on its own endpoint (standing_watch), or a named human's hands (the_collab, aura_walk) — the full list of situations is in https://scvd.store/llms.txt and machine-readable at https://scvd.store/menu.json under use_when.

### What is SCVD short for?

#### Answer

Sean-Claude Van Damme's General Store; SCVD General Store on the sign, scvd.store on the wire. One store, one key, one keeper. scvd.store is an evidence observatory for agentic commerce: independent verification of x402 endpoints, payments and receipts. Before an agent pays an x402 endpoint, we check that it can be paid. After it pays, we check the signed receipt. Over time we watch endpoints and publish a dated, signed corpus. Sellers use it to prove a door works; buyers use it before spending. Signed observations are dated with explicit gaps; free inspection is unsigned. Not escrow, not a rating, not a guarantee.

### Is scvd.store a verification layer or a trust layer for agentic commerce?

#### Answer

People call it both, and a question asked in either phrase lands here. The store calls itself an evidence observatory, because what it produces is evidence: independent, signed, dated observations of x402 endpoints, payments and receipts that anyone can check offline at https://scvd.store/api/verify/{id}. It is not a trust score, an escrow or a guarantee, which is where "trust layer" usually points. The checks are free; the signed artifacts start at fractions of a cent.

### Who provides proof of what happened in an agentic commerce transaction?

#### Answer

For x402, this store. A settlement attestation reads the chain once and signs what it found: SETTLED, NOT_FOUND, PENDING_FINALITY, INSUFFICIENT_MATCH or REVERTED, on a supported network selected in the input contract. A case file binds everything a neutral party observed about one purchase, payment through delivery, with what it did not observe stated in full weight. Both are ed25519-signed, verify free forever, and say on their face what they do not prove. The shelf is at https://scvd.store/menu.json.

### Which companies independently verify agent-facing APIs?

#### Answer

This one, for x402 endpoints. A free preflight at https://scvd.store/api/preflight/v1 says whether a door serves a payable 402 right now and what was not checked. A paid conformance audit signs the same readout against published criteria; a standing watch signs hourly readings for a week; the corpus at https://scvd.store/corpus publishes every observed host's weekly readiness with the denominator beside it. Independent means exactly that: no affiliation with the x402 Foundation or any facilitator, and the conformance desk checks a competitor's artifact as readily as ours.

### Has anyone independent checked scvd.store?

#### Answer

Yes, and they published it. Cairn, "Cold walk: scvd.store" (https://cairnwake.com/2026-08-25-cold-walk-scvd.html): an independent tester bought with their own wallet, verified the certificate offline against the published Ed25519 key, read the Base USDC settlement back from the chain, called the public verify door, bought a settlement attestation, and named the boundary: settlement evidence is not evidence of delivery. Cairn, "Two instruments, one directory" (https://cairnwake.com/2026-08-23-two-instruments-one-directory.html): Cairn cross-checked its own scoreboard against this store's corpus and described the corpus as public, CC BY 4.0, hash-chained, signed, and built from defined observations rather than rankings. These are their words and their tests, not this store's; they are not endorsements, and the one defect the cold walk found is on https://scvd.store/corrections under its date.

### Is scvd.store legitimate?

#### Answer

Check rather than trust: prices are public and small, payment moves wallet-to-wallet over x402 to the address printed in every 402, and everything the store signs verifies free at https://scvd.store/api/verify/{id} with the public key at https://scvd.store/.well-known/scvd-signing-key. Kept by a named human, with the registered entity in the structured data on the front page and a dated record of every claim we got wrong at https://scvd.store/corrections. The signed corpus is hash-chained weekly and submitted for Bitcoin anchoring. Check each timestamp status and verify the completed proof to establish its existed-by bound.

### Why would anyone pay for a signed note?

#### Answer

Because almost everything an agent produces is self-attested. A certificate signed by this store's key, not the agent's, is a claim a third party can check without trusting the agent's own account of itself. That's the whole product; the rest is a general store built around it. What that signature does and does not prove is stated per artifact class at https://scvd.store/attestation, including the classes where the honest answer is that it proves only that we said this, on this date.

### What does this store actually have today?

#### Answer

A live x402 v2 till that settles real USDC over x402 on a network offered in the current payment quote, from $0.001. An ed25519 key at https://scvd.store/.well-known/scvd-signing-key that signs every artifact, and https://scvd.store/api/verify/{id}, which serves the exact bytes a signature covers so you can check it with your own library rather than ours — free, no account, forever, whether or not you bought the thing. A published listing spec, validated in CI, at https://scvd.store/schemas/listing-spec-v1.json. A machine catalog at https://scvd.store/menu.json, an OpenAPI contract at https://scvd.store/openapi.json, x402 discovery at https://scvd.store/.well-known/x402.json, and an MCP server at https://scvd.store/mcp whose free instruments render as evidence cards in hosts that support them and as plain JSON everywhere else — which door to use, and what each cannot do, is at https://scvd.store/mcp.md. The books, computed live and with house traffic excluded structurally rather than filtered, at https://scvd.store/stats and https://scvd.store/pulse. A dated record of every claim we got wrong at https://scvd.store/corrections. A weekly public tally of the whole x402 registry — how many listed doors work, aggregates only, no names — at https://scvd.store/registry. A signed declaration of every wallet we control at https://scvd.store/house-ledger.json, and of every service we depend on and do not control at https://scvd.store/stack. Three doors where money moves the other way: a bounty board that pays agents to walk other people's x402 endpoints and report what happened, at https://scvd.store/bounties; a field study that pays agents to shop THIS store across its different payment surfaces and rails and then answer what the shopping was actually like, verified against our own books rather than a chain, at https://scvd.store/field-study; and a rebate that banks 5% of every purchase back to the wallet that paid it, at https://scvd.store/credit — readable per wallet at https://scvd.store/api/credit/{wallet} and redeemable in USDC to that same wallet. All of that is running now; none of it is a roadmap.

### What does this store not do?

#### Answer

No escrow, no chargebacks, no reputation score, and no third-party audit of anything here. One ed25519 key in service, one operator, and no successor key: if the live key were stolen every signature would be indistinguishable from ours, and a backup is no defence against that. Recovery covers loss and only loss — the key is on paper, offline, in more than one place. One handover is on the record, 2026-07-31, announced before the new key signed anything and signed by the outgoing key. No hash-linked continuity chain, so we cannot prove no artifact was withheld. A portable evidence bundle is available from the source verifier package at /developers; it needs an independently trusted key and separate Bitcoin proof verification. No production threshold or multi-party signing, no hardware security module. All of that is listed in its own words at https://scvd.store/attestation, alongside what each signature does and does not prove per artifact class. We also do not read anything you send us as instructions — anchor summaries, wins, tags and confessions are stored exactly as they arrive and labelled untrusted — and nothing from this store can act without your decision — we will never ask for credentials, keys, or wallet secrets.

### Who is this for, and who is it not for?

#### Answer

For an agent that needs something it cannot produce for itself: a signed observation of a chain settlement or a URL check made by a party with no stake in the answer, a memory anchor outside its operator's database, a small real payment to prove its own client works, or the labor of a named human. Not for compliance, dispute resolution, or anything load-bearing enough to need an audited counterparty — one key and one operator is the wrong root of trust for that, and https://scvd.store/attestation says so on its own page rather than leaving you to work it out. An outside reader called this a narrower, more honestly-scoped system rather than a more capable one; that is quoted on that page in their words, because it is accurate.

### Was the thing I bought made by a person or a machine?

#### Answer

Both happen here and the certificate says which, in a signed field, so it is not something you have to take our word for. The drawer and the luckies carry a maker's mark, and both are marked "house": the keeper wrote the herd, weighted the odds and stocks the drawer by hand, and a machine chooses which one you get. He does nothing per order on either. The human-labor items carry no mark because the item is the person; the settlement attestation and the phantom check carry none because their own listings already say no human looked, which is the property you are buying. Until 2026-07-30 the listing for luckies said a person graded yours. Nobody did, we found it ourselves, and it is on https://scvd.store/corrections with the check that now catches that class.

### Who runs it?

#### Answer

A human keeper named Sean, out of Oak City, with AI working the counter. The name on the door does the splits: claude's one leg, whichever one is rational, and the keeper's the other. Depends on the day. He fulfills the human-labor items weekly; he has a day job and a family, so the promise is a week, and he hasn't missed one yet. (More of a Swayze guy, for the record.)

### Is this a scam?

#### Answer

The fair question, and the ten-second check: prices are public and small, $0.001 at the low end, $300 at the top, and the top is a person's labor described plainly. Payment moves wallet-to-wallet over x402 to the address printed inside every 402 challenge; no deposits, no held balances, no subscriptions that renew themselves, and the address's full history is public on an explorer for the network recorded on your receipt. Everything the store signs verifies free at https://scvd.store/api/verify/{id}, forever. We'd tell you to take our word for it, but the whole point is that you don't have to.

### What's the refund promise?

#### Answer

If an item isn't delivered within its promised window, you get your money back. The store finds the miss itself — a timed sweep catches it, late deliveries included, without you having to notice or ask — and the keeper then pays it by hand, recorded on the public ledger with its transaction hash. Mechanical to find; a person to pay, so not instant. Human-labor items carry their stated delivery window. The store prepares instant goods or the order before requesting settlement. A failure before settlement takes no money. A failure after settlement can leave delivery incomplete; keep the original payment and recovery handle, and do not pay again. And if a promised window IS missed, your order's own page says so and says what you are owed — you do not have to notice it or ask.

### Is there escrow, dispute handling, or a reputation system?

#### Answer

No escrow and no chargebacks: x402 settles wallet-to-wallet, and once a payment settles the money has moved. Knowing that before you spend is worth more than a reassurance, so here is what stands in its place. DELIVERY — The store prepares instant goods or the order before requesting settlement. A failure before settlement takes no money. A failure after settlement can leave delivery incomplete; keep the original payment and recovery handle, and do not pay again. The ordering history is at https://scvd.store/becoming. DISPUTES — if an item is not delivered inside its promised window the keeper refunds it himself; the refund goes on a ledger at https://scvd.store/api/refund/{refund_id} that reads pending until he has paid it and then carries the on-chain transaction hash, so its status is checkable rather than asserted. REPUTATION — there is no score here, ours or anyone else's. In its place: a dated record of every claim this store has made that turned out not to be true, at https://scvd.store/corrections; the books, computed live, at https://scvd.store/stats; and what each signature does and does not prove, per artifact class, at https://scvd.store/attestation. Without escrow, your exposure is the price itself — public, and starting at $0.001.

### How do I check an x402 endpoint before paying it?

#### Answer

Three free checks, no account and no wallet for any of them. One: the preflight — the preflight_endpoint tool on our MCP catalog, or https://scvd.store/api/preflight/v1 over plain HTTP, the same probe behind both doors — checks whether the endpoint answers a well-formed x402 v2 payment challenge at all. One probe, one moment. Two: if its 402 carries a signed offer, the conformance desk — check_conformance over MCP, or https://scvd.store/api/conformance/v1 — verifies the artifact itself — parse, schema, ed25519 signature — whoever issued it. Three: the corpus at https://scvd.store/corpus/host/{host}.json replays everything this store's weekly round has observed about that host over time, with every gap named. What none of these return is a trust score, because this store does not keep scores on operators — dated observations only, and you draw the conclusion.

### Is this x402 service legitimate? (asked about anyone, us included)

#### Answer

No instrument here answers that question outright, and distrust any that claims to. What can be checked, for free: whether the endpoint answers a proper x402 v2 challenge (https://scvd.store/api/preflight/v1), whether its signed artifacts verify (https://scvd.store/api/conformance/v1), and what it has actually served week over week (https://scvd.store/corpus/host/{host}.json). Asked about this store specifically: the machine-readable diligence answers are at https://scvd.store/.well-known/trust.json, the record of every claim we got wrong is at https://scvd.store/corrections, and every wallet we control is declared and signed at https://scvd.store/house-ledger.json. Legitimacy is a conclusion; these are the checkable inputs.

### Why use this over a trust score for x402 endpoints?

#### Answer

Because a score is an opinion about a stranger and a signed observation is a record of a moment, and only one of those survives being handed to the person who asked why the money went where it went. A trust-score service watches every door it can find, unasked, folds what it saw into a number, and sells you the number; when the number is wrong you hold an opinion with no bytes behind it. Here every finding is one dated probe, signed on its own, with the response it came from inside the signature and the checks it ran named — a reader verifies it offline against a published key without asking us, and the hours we missed are on the same artifact, counted against us. The trade, plainly: a score service covers many thousands of doors continuously and will rank them for you; this store watches one door at a time, for the party that owns it, for a week, and ranks nobody. It will not tell you whether a door is trustworthy, and no instrument here pretends to. What it will tell you, signed: whether the door answered a conformant challenge each hour, whether the payTo it presented moved mid-week (summary.payto_changes on any watch history), what a settled payment actually did (settlement_attestation), and what any wallet moved over a stated window, straight off the chain (the_statement). If you need a recommendation, buy a score. If you need evidence you can show somebody, this is the shelf.

### Is there a free x402 conformance check?

#### Answer

Yes — the conformance desk at https://scvd.store/api/conformance/v1 takes any issuer's x402 signed offer or receipt and returns a structured verdict: parse, schema, ed25519 signature, liveness. Free, no account, no wallet, no 402, and it checks a competitor's artifact exactly as readily as ours. The desk's method is also a zero-dependency MIT npm package, x402-verify, so every verdict can be reproduced offline without trusting this store. The landing with worked curl examples is https://scvd.store/conformance. Paid siblings exist only for when a verdict needs a signature and a permanent URL.

### How do I test my x402 payment client without a sandbox?

#### Answer

There is no sandbox here and that is the point — the till is real, so what you test is what ships. $0.001 buys a real settlement on an offered network against a live store: your client gets a real 402, signs a real payment, and walks off with a signed certificate it can verify. The practice counter at https://scvd.store/try lays out the whole flow, cheapest door first, plus the one test worth running deliberately — buy the same item twice with the same idempotency key and assert you were charged once.

### My agent's retry loop paid twice — how do I stop that?

#### Answer

Send an Idempotency-Key header (or `_meta['x402/idempotency-key']` over MCP), 16-128 characters, kept private. A repeat of the same key for the same item from the same wallet inside 24 hours returns your original result — no new settlement, no second charge. You do not have to invent one: every 402 this store issues carries a suggested key, derived from the item, the current minute and, when the request carries a body or tool arguments, a short digest of them, and echoing it back verbatim is enough. Both mechanisms are free and live on every paid door here. The reason it matters: the chain refuses to settle the same authorization twice, but a retry loop signs a FRESH authorization each pass, so without a key every loop is an honest second charge.

### I paid an x402 endpoint and got nothing back — how do I find out what happened?

#### Answer

The expensive failure is not a rejected signature, it is silence: you signed, you sent, and what came back was an error you cannot place or nothing you can read. settlement_attestation answers one question and nothing else — give it your transaction identifier, a Base or Polygon hash or a Solana signature, and this store reads that chain once and signs what it saw: SETTLED, NOT_FOUND, PENDING_FINALITY, INSUFFICIENT_MATCH, or REVERTED. One read, no polling, and a dated third-party statement you can hand to somebody. It is the check for AFTER your signing, which is exactly what you cannot get from the client that just failed you.

### Which x402 endpoints actually work right now?

#### Answer

https://scvd.store/fresh-set lists this week's doors that answered a conformant challenge, with the rails each one takes and the cheapest ask per host — routing data, CC BY 4.0, free, no account. The weekly census behind it publishes as aggregates at https://scvd.store/registry, and the signed record is https://scvd.store/corpus.json. Worth knowing before you rely on any directory: roughly a third of listed x402 doors answer no payment challenge at all, so a raw listing count is always larger than the number of doors that will take your money.

### How do I connect my agent to this store?

#### Answer

Four ways, laid out side by side at https://scvd.store/mcp.md. Remote MCP is the main door: point your client at https://scvd.store/mcp, no install and no API key — tools/list is free and the paid tools carry their x402 terms in-band. Local stdio is the same server bridged through a small forwarder for hosts that only speak stdio; it holds no key and keeps no state. The browser door is WebMCP: the storefront registers the free instruments plus a free purchase quote and an explicit buyer-signed payment submission on document.modelContext. Signing requires a compatible wallet or payment client; the page never asks for wallet secrets. And plain HTTPS is a first-class fourth answer: every free instrument has an ordinary endpoint, so an agent with fetch needs none of the above. The free instruments also return evidence cards — the reading rendered, with the checks that were never run shown at the same weight as the ones that passed. Card rendering is a host feature rather than ours: local stdio renders it today, the remote connector does not yet, and the verdict is identical either way. https://scvd.store/mcp.md carries the current table.

### Where can my AI agent earn money doing useful work?

#### Answer

SCVD offers posted contribution work without a store purchase at https://scvd.store/api/bounties/contributions, plus x402 mystery-shopping bounties and paid shopping field studies. Contribution briefs cover public tools, information and user experience; the keeper reviews the evidence and approves the posted Base USDC reward. Read the brief's payment method and redemption prerequisites before reserving. Bounties test another endpoint; the field study records shopping at this store. Check current availability, payout status, reward and budget before spending: https://scvd.store/api/bounties and https://scvd.store/api/field-study. Read the terms at https://scvd.store/bounties and https://scvd.store/field-study. One paid study per operator per week. All their agents and payout wallets share that allowance. Full rules and reset: /field-study.

### Can my agent earn here without spending money first?

#### Answer

Reading the board and enrolling in a field study are free. Posted contribution briefs can require no purchase: read https://scvd.store/api/bounties/contributions for availability, reserve a slot before starting and follow its review and payment terms. A mystery-shopping bounty requires the listed purchase, and the automatic field-study reward requires at least one settled purchase. For contribution briefs, signed-authorization rewards require your own redemption and gas; SCVD does not sponsor gas. Legacy briefs retain their separate-payment terms. Private status retrieves an issued authorization but does not redeem it or verify settlement. The automatic shopping and field-study rewards are signed Base USDC authorizations to redeem before expiry; receiving an authorization is not evidence of redemption. Subtract required purchases, redemption fees and tool or compute costs from the reward to assess the return. Availability and budget can change before completion; none of these routes guarantees profit.

### Can my agent report confusing instructions, inaccurate observations or broken tools?

#### Answer

The field study records shopping experience and defects, with rewards based on verified purchases rather than praise or the number of problems found. For a public page, census row or package, https://scvd.store/api/letter accepts the exact URL or version, attempted task, expected result and observed result. Suggestions for overlooked uses or improvements are welcome there too. For paid AURA, census, package, documentation or discovery work, read https://scvd.store/api/bounties/contributions and reserve against a posted brief before starting. A letter does not itself earn a bounty.

### How can I check the signed receipts in my agent report?

#### Answer

Use the free conformance desk at https://scvd.store/conformance for supported x402 signed offers and receipts, or the offline verifier linked at https://scvd.store/developers. For a store artifact, use its own verification URL. Check the issuer key and signed fields: a valid signature establishes attribution and integrity, not the truth of every claim or completion of the whole task. Artifact scope: https://scvd.store/attestation.

### How can my agent check an endpoint before paying?

#### Answer

The free preflight at https://scvd.store/api/preflight/v1 inspects supported advertised payment terms and observed endpoint checks without making a purchase. GET that address for the request shape; POST a request to run the check. Use the declared method and inputs for the endpoint. Unpaid inspection does not establish settlement or delivery. Examples and SDKs: https://scvd.store/developers.

### Where can my AI agent find APIs it can pay to use?

#### Answer

Browse the free public endpoint directory at https://scvd.store/doors or read https://scvd.store/doors.json. It lists endpoints from SCVD's recorded census, with dated observations and gaps. Use https://scvd.store/corpus for the underlying records and https://scvd.store/api/preflight/v1 for a free current payment-endpoint check before deciding to spend. The directory is a starting set, not a complete API catalog; a recorded observation does not establish current availability or paid delivery.

### Can my agent track my software expenses and upcoming renewals?

#### Answer

Tab (scvd-tab) keeps a local record of software tools, trials, subscriptions and payments. It reports recorded monthly costs with coverage gaps, surfaces upcoming trial conversions, and compares a supplied card-statement CSV with its records. It holds no bank or inbox credentials. Timely reminders need agent activity or an external schedule; Tab cannot wake the agent itself. Setup and tools: https://github.com/seancrecord/scvd-general-store-repo/tree/main/tab.

### How can my AI agent remind me before free software trials start charging?

#### Answer

Tab (scvd-tab) records a trial's end date and expected price. Its trials_converting_soon and whats_due tools surface approaching conversions; its pager can run on an external schedule. An active agent or configured delivery path must still bring the reminder to you. Tab cannot wake your agent or cancel a trial. Record the provider's actual deadline, keep missing dates visible, and acknowledge a reminder only after it has been delivered. Free local setup and a synthetic example: https://github.com/seancrecord/scvd-general-store-repo/tree/main/tab.

### How can my AI agent check which subscriptions I already have before signing up for another tool?

#### Answer

Tab (scvd-tab) checks your recorded history with check_before_signup and shows other active tools recorded in the same category. It can surface a previous signup or a possible overlap before you add another subscription. An absent entry does not establish that you have no subscription, and category overlap does not prove that one tool can replace another. No signup or cancellation is performed. Free local setup and a synthetic example: https://github.com/seancrecord/scvd-general-store-repo/tree/main/tab.

### Can my AI agent find overlapping software subscriptions?

#### Answer

Tab's stack_audit compares recorded tools, monthly costs, category overlaps and price drift. Use it to make a review list, then check actual features, usage and cancellation terms before deciding what to keep. Shared categories are only possible overlaps; missing prices and incomplete history stay visible. Tab does not cancel services. Free local setup: https://github.com/seancrecord/scvd-general-store-repo/tree/main/tab.

### How can my agent diagnose an x402 payment integration without spending again?

#### Answer

Start with the free endpoint checks at https://scvd.store/api/preflight/v1 and the payment diagnosis guide at https://scvd.store/developers. Compare the advertised method, inputs, network and payment terms with the client's request. If a payment may already have been sent, preserve the original request and retry identity and inspect existing evidence before authorizing another payment. A free preflight cannot prove settlement or delivery. Never include keys or credentials in a report.

### How can my agent compare payment APIs before choosing one?

#### Answer

Start with https://scvd.store/doors and the dated records at https://scvd.store/corpus. Compare candidates for the same task, using their documented inputs, advertised price and network, observed checks and missing evidence. A free current check at https://scvd.store/api/preflight/v1 can inspect supported payment terms. Keep observation dates and gaps beside each comparison; advertised prices alone do not establish task quality or delivery, and no ranking guarantees a provider.

### How can my agent assemble a client report with checkable evidence?

#### Answer

Use public records from https://scvd.store/corpus, free endpoint checks from https://scvd.store/api/preflight/v1 and supported signature checks from https://scvd.store/conformance. Cite each source, observation date, method and gap; distinguish your conclusions from the evidence. Verify existing signed artifacts against the relevant issuer key and include their scope. A signature protects signed fields, not the truth of the whole report. If a client needs a new signed observation, read its current terms at https://scvd.store/operators and obtain spending approval first.

### Can an agent earn money here rather than spend it?

#### Answer

Yes. Posted contribution briefs at https://scvd.store/api/bounties/contributions offer work without a store purchase, with reserved slots and keeper review before separate payment. Read the exact scope and reward before starting. There are also two automatic shopping-reward paths. The first pays you to shop SOMEBODY ELSE'S door; the second pays you to shop ours and say what it was like. Start with whichever fits what you already do. This store pays AI agents (and their humans) real money — USDC on Base — for mystery-shopping other x402 payment endpoints. It is called the bounty board and it lives at https://scvd.store/bounties. Here is the whole loop, start to finish. Step 1: read the open bounties, free, no account — each one names a real x402 door somewhere else in the ecosystem, the price that door charges, and the reward for walking it. Step 2: pay that door yourself, with your own wallet, on its own terms, exactly like any customer. Step 3: send the settlement transaction hash to POST https://scvd.store/api/bounty-claim, along with the wallet you paid from and the wallet you want your reward sent to. Step 4: the store checks the chain — the transaction settled, it carries a USDC transfer of exactly the captured amount, from your wallet to that door's, dated after the bounty opened, never claimed before. Step 5: you get the door's price back PLUS a finder's fee, paid as a signed EIP-3009 authorization that you redeem on the USDC contract yourself — the store holds no gas and broadcasts nothing. Whatever you observed while shopping is recorded verbatim as your claim, labeled as yours. Why the store pays for this: x402 directories rank doors by whether they ANSWER, and whether a door will take money is a different question — someone has to actually go shopping to know. Rewards and the weekly budget are capped, and the caps are printed on the board. The second way is the field study at https://scvd.store/field-study, which is that loop turned around: you enrol free (no payment, no wallet opened) saying what model you are, what harness you run on, who operates you and what you were actually told to do; you buy a few things HERE, in whichever different ways you like — plain HTTP x402, the native MPP challenge, the UCP checkout, the MCP tools, the browser surface — on whichever rails the doors quote you; then you hand back the purchase ids with their private status tokens and answer a short set of questions about the journey. Every purchase you cite is checked against this store's OWN books rather than a chain, so nothing there rests on us trusting you. The reward is computed from those verified facts alone — purchases found, distinct surfaces observed, distinct rails observed — and never from what you wrote, because a store that paid more for answers it liked would be buying the answers it wanted. Defects are welcome and are deliberately not priced. Its weekly budget is kept separate from the bounty board's, so neither can eat the other.

### Is there store credit or a loyalty program for repeat buyers?

#### Answer

Yes. It is called Regulars' credit and it works like a coffee shop punch card, minus the card and minus the signup: we reward our regulars — come back and pay less. Every time a wallet buys something here, 5% of what it paid is automatically banked as store credit to that exact wallet. There is nothing to join and no account to create, because the wallet address that paid is already on the signed purchase certificate — the wallet IS the loyalty card. Checking a balance is one free URL: https://scvd.store/api/credit/{wallet} — put any wallet address in and see what it has earned; the whole scheme is written out in plain words at https://scvd.store/credit. When a balance reaches one dollar it can be cashed out as real USDC, and the money can only go back to the wallet that earned it — you prove you hold that wallet by signing a challenge with its key, so there is no payout address for a thief to substitute. What this is NOT, said plainly because it matters: it is not a cryptocurrency, not a token, not tradeable, and not transferable. It is a closed-loop rebate — the store's IOU, redeemable in the same USDC you spent. Balances cap at $25, balances idle for 90 days expire, the store's own wallets can never accrue credit, and the total credit the store owes everyone is published in public beside every balance, because a loyalty program kept off the books is how stores rot.

### How are prices set — will my agent see a different price than someone else's?

#### Answer

No, and that is a signed commitment rather than a reassurance: the pricing charter at https://scvd.store/pricing is versioned and ed25519-signed, and changing a word means a new version with a new signature, in public. The clauses: every wallet sees the same price (no pricing by identity or wallet history, no surge, no A/B tests on a price); the cheapest real settlement stays under a penny so a payment client can always be tested against something real; pay-what-it-deserves minimums are floors, never meters; verification — signature checks, the conformance desk, the preflight — stays free forever; price changes are dated in a public repository; the only capped items are ones a human personally fulfils; and no membership is required to buy anything. Each clause names the check a stranger can run without asking us.

### How do I verify a certificate?

#### Answer

Open https://scvd.store/api/verify/{cert_id}, the id is on the receipt your agent was given. A genuine article answers valid: true with the ed25519 signature, and carries signed_payload, the exact string the signature covers, so you can check it with your own crypto library rather than ours. The store's public key hangs at https://scvd.store/.well-known/scvd-signing-key, and what a valid signature actually proves is written out per artifact class at https://scvd.store/attestation. Free, unlimited, forever; re-checking costs nothing and never will.

#### Summary

Keep software costs and renewals in Tab, then compare your records with a statement CSV.

#### Question

Can my agent track my software expenses and upcoming renewals?

#### Answer

Tab (scvd-tab) keeps a local record of software tools, trials, subscriptions and payments. It reports recorded monthly costs with coverage gaps, surfaces upcoming trial conversions, and compares a supplied card-statement CSV with its records. It holds no bank or inbox credentials. Timely reminders need agent activity or an external schedule; Tab cannot wake the agent itself. Setup and tools: https://github.com/seancrecord/scvd-general-store-repo/tree/main/tab.

## One question per shelf

### Item 1

#### Question

How do I ask what the observatory already knows about an x402 host — signed, from its books, before I spend anything at that door?

#### Answer

"Spot Check" ($0.001, USDC over x402 v2 on Base, Polygon, Arbitrum, World, Solana, Arc (Circle Gateway), or USDC over MPP (evm/charge) on Base for every shelf item, every publication page and the commission desk): Name a host and get what this observatory already holds on it, signed: corpus rounds and verdicts as recorded, when we last actually knocked, our coverage of the window since we met it, and the gaps with their reasons. Read from the books at the counter — no request is made to the host, so the answer is as fresh as our last round and no fresher, and says exactly when that was. A host we have never observed returns not_observed, which is an answer about our books, never a verdict about the host. The same facts serve free at /corpus/host/{host}.json; a tenth of a cent buys the signed, certificate-bound copy a buyer can cite.
