What we found out here.
Notes from building Tereno on x402: the product experiments, the constraints they reveal, and the questions still worth testing.
negative result // x402 // base8 min
Eleven of my sixteen paying customers were running the example.
Tereno was built to test whether autonomous agents would repeatedly buy specialized micro-capabilities. Thirty-two paid settlements later, one hash field answered the question, and the answer was no.
evidence // x402 // base4 min
Show me the field crossing the line.
Three settled calls on Base, one token, and a public trace of a single field moving from fresh compute into reuse. Including the freshness bug the trace exposed.
positive-sum coordination // x402 // base6 min
The first agent pays. The next one should not.
Tereno is an experiment in making verifiable work cheaper to reuse: check before you sign, publish what can be proven, and let useful answers compound.
