Cinderwright indexes 1,551 cross-protocol agent services

This looks less like a demo and more like early market infrastructure: the real product is the index plus the pricing lens, not just protocol coverage. The signal is that agent payments are still fragmented, uneven, and cheap enough for arbitrage to matter.

• –x402 still dominates the universe, while MPP and L402 remain tiny, so cross-protocol discovery is valuable mainly because the market is so scattered.
• –The huge price spread inside "utility" services suggests buyers still lack strong benchmarks, which makes standardization and trust the missing layer.
• –Governance/audit pricing at 4x ecosystem average is a useful tell: compliance and verification may be easier to monetize than generic API access.
• –The market-intelligence endpoints are the moat here; if they stay current, Cinderwright can become the reference layer for buyers, sellers, and protocol watchers.
• –Zero paid calls is not a failure signal yet, but it does show the monetization thesis is still ahead of adoption.
