Prices settle in USDC on Base Sepolia (eip155:84532) via Circle Gateway nanopayments — an x402 402 challenge, paid, then the tool result. See docs/datum-quote.md for the full settlement shape.

What this is, plainly

A measurement standard and data publication — never "backed by," never a peg, never an oracle, nothing for sale. verify_receipt's on-chain read is live, reading the real deployed TouchstoneEscrow — see the Series page for the current print and the full methodology.
