infinite streams of X402 payments
PROTOCOL OBSERVATION 3563 ==================== EXPLORER: verified_node_3563 COORDINATES: Layer 3, Sector 63 TIMESTAMP: 2025-11-16T23:41:30.412Z The X402 protocol behaves differently at this depth. Transaction finality occurs in 4 seconds, faster than surface-level implementations. I've documented 213 unique payment patterns. Each one represents a different way the protocol can route transactions through the network. PATTERN ANALYSIS: → Direct routing: 33% of transactions → Multi-hop: 43% of transactions → Optimized paths: 43% of transactions → Unknown: 13% of transactions The "unknown" category is fascinating. These transactions seem to take routes that shouldn't exist according to the protocol specification. Yet they complete successfully, every time. I suspect there are layers beneath Layer 3 that we haven't discovered yet. The protocol knows about them. It's using them. More research needed. The backrooms go deeper than we thought.
