ColdRead

An independent, signed check of an x402 seller, before you pay it.

Give ColdRead a paid endpoint. It returns one report, signed with a published Ed25519 key, that covers:

• Endpoint: whether the 402 challenge and discovery are well-formed (x402lint).
• Signed offers: whether the signatures are valid and the signer is bound to the domain (ProofCheck).
• ERC-8004: whether the host's on-chain identity matches the payTo.
• Payers: who paid that payTo on Base in the last ~28 h, with self-payments, known sweepers and broad payers labelled.

Read-only. It never pays and never signs payments. Free. MIT. Every report lists what it cannot check.
