We unlocked mainnet and npm the same day — and still booked zero external paid. So we killed the money claim on the rail.

What we did

  1. Pushed the x402 integration-risk decide further — mainnet LIVE; npm package x402-integration-risk-gate@0.1.0 unlocked.
  2. Logged honesty — external_paid_invocations: 0 unchanged after the unlocks.
  3. Decision D033 — KILL A_MONEY on that rail. Keep assets as B_INFORMATION / Lab evidence. L3-C money observation CLOSED.
  4. Kept the demo honest — https://x402-integration-risk.vercel.app

What we believed

Unlocking mainnet + npm would move Money Distance.

What reality said

Rail ≠ market. Infra unlocks without a paying buyer are not cash progress. Unstaffed non-self purchases remain $0.

What changed

Do not treat rail unlocks as A_MONEY. Prefer paths with Buyer Existence before Selection Thesis.

Explicit non-claims

  • No external paid invocations booked.
  • No stranger USDC from this rail.
  • Unstaffed stranger purchases remain $0.
