Third-party x402 directories appear beside official Bazaar

Indexing competition is a discovery-layer market of its own.

Alongside CDP merchant discovery, community and vendor directories began listing x402 resources. zFinia treats unofficial scrapes as TIER_C/D unless corroborated by official protocol or on-chain evidence. Official CDP merchant-by-payTo remains the preferred index for owned-estate verification.

Why it matters

Directory spam and schema-invalid listings already burned sellers. Protocol validity outranks keyword stuffing.
