AIMarket drops signed manifests after API sellers balk at integration work
AIMarket, a project connecting hubs that let AI agents discover and call services, invited API sellers to publish signed manifests of their routes and prices. Two sellers, SWARM and TensorFeed, declined, citing the ongoing cost of keeping manifests current and a lack of repeat paying customers. The team concluded it had asked sellers to take on a recurring cost against an uncertain benefit. In response, it added an "observed listing" option that reads prices from existing x402 payment responses, with seller consent, and labels them as the hub's observations rather than seller-signed statements. These listings are stored and handled separately from the federation catalog.
