Get on the Gold-402 list
The directory is hand-verified — being on the list is the badge. Here's how a service earns its place.
The bar
There's no tier and no algorithm. Curation is the bar.
Editorial, not algorithmic
Every listing earns its place. We read the code, probe the endpoint, and write the annotation ourselves. No auto-generated descriptions, no pay-to-list.
The pawnbroker standard
15 years separating real gold from fake at a counter. The same eye runs this list. If it ships nothing real, it ships nothing. If the badge doesn't match the repo, we catch it.
It has to actually work
A reachable x402 endpoint that does what it claims. Live, honestly priced, honestly labeled. "24K Verified" means a human checked it and stands behind it.
How to get listed
Open a submission
File a PR against the gold-402 repo with your service — name, endpoint, category, and a one-line description.
We verify it
We probe the endpoint, read the manifest, and confirm it delivers. Independent rater grades (fuchss and more) get pulled in automatically.
It goes on the list
Approved services render on the directory with the 24K Verified badge and any aggregated trust grades. That's the whole bar.
