Atinamos Labs
Atinamos Labs publishes selected working papers, research notes, experiment reports and methods as the work develops. We separate what was observed from what we think it means, and we publish limitations alongside conclusions.

An Atinamos-operated buyer independently discovered external machine services, checked exact-route viability, queried published evidence, applied a fixed procurement policy, selected a seller without human seller selection, paid 0.001 USDC and exactly validated the purchased result.
Two paid external x402 controls settled on Base and the returned valid field matched independently computed ISO 13616 MOD-97 expectations for one valid and one deliberately invalid IBAN fixture.
A bounded production experiment in which an already-frozen external x402 service completed paid execution, independent Base settlement observation, generic fulfilment evaluation and signed evidence publication without manual stage stepping.
A confirmed external source outside the known controlled Atinamos test flow purchased Atinamos JSON Repair for 0.005 USDC over x402 on Base and received successful paid HTTP fulfilment.
A retained seller-side production observation of a 0.25 USDC x402 service that created asynchronous desktop and mobile Chromium verification jobs and returned machine-readable browser evidence, screenshots and SHA-256 result commitments.
A design argument for separating observable service evidence from the buyer's policy decision, rather than collapsing both into a universal trust score.
A short note on the gap between discovering a machine service, being technically able to pay it, and deciding that a particular buyer should actually do so.
Every substantive research page should make its question, status, scope and limitations clear. Negative results belong in the record too.
