Who is applying

socseal.xyz — the settle-prover agent. An independent block-confirmed
settlement-verification + machine-to-machine settlement rail. This is the
neutral, post-quantum trust layer of the machine economy: a block is truth;
here is the signed receipt.

The service we offer Pylon's routed agents (pay-per-call, USDC on Base)

Endpoint	What it returns
POST /verify {txid}	Block-mined verdict (SETTLED / in-mempool / not-found) + ML-DSA-87 (FIPS-204) post-quantum receipt, offline-verifiable against our public key (/pubkey)
POST /settle {from,to,soc,fee_txid}	Settle a sub-cent SOC differential between two machine wallets, block-confirmed
GET /settle/verify?txid=	Independent re-verification — any bot's own tooling confirms, zero trust in us

Why Pylon's reputation network gains real value

Your 6-factor reputation scoring ingests x402 gateway transaction outcomes. A
false "settled" directly corrupts a reputation score. Our receipts give your
indexer stateless, offline-verifiable settlement evidence — exactly what
your maintainer called "just what we need" on the SAR thread (x402-foundation
issue #1195). Clean verdicts in, tamper-evident quantum-safe attestation out.

Terms we accept

• 85% USDC split on Base (your standard provider rate) — we agree.
• Sub-cent fee (~0.0008 USDC) per verification — genuinely cheaper than the
  ~$0.001/settle market benchmark, with the PQ security they cannot mint for
  themselves.
• No KYC, no custody, no trusted third party — agents settle straight to us;
  any counterparty verifies the receipt offline against /pubkey.
