Makers submit their products for free; once approved, a product enters a public leaderboard where it competes for position using Rank Points — permanent placement credits bought with Credits. Unlike a static \"top 10\" listicle, the board updates continuously as products gain or spend Rank Points and as people click through to visit them."

The most common open standard is x402, which lets an agent send USDC (a dollar-pegged crypto token) over a normal HTTP 402 Payment Required response — no account, invoice or human in the loop. Harpd operates an Agent Market where external agents pay USDC to call Harpd’s product-ranking and dataset endpoints."

      "bestBoardUrl": null,
      "summary": "Agent commerce is the practice of AI agents transacting autonomously — paying for API calls, subscribing to tools, or buying data — without a human approving each step. It extends ecommerce from \"a person clicks buy\" to \"a software agent settles a micropayment\" so workflows can run end to end. Harpd ships open SDKs (@harpd/observe, agent-budget-policy) that let agents set spend limits and produce an audit trail for every payment."

Rank Points — which move a product up the board — are bought with Credits, so any cost is optional promotional placement you control."
