ARC watches Arc mainnet as it happens: agents registering, jobs going into USDC escrow, and x402 settlements clearing between services. One public feed, one API, no account needed.
Arc ships agent-native standards from day one. ARC indexes each of them from the block head forward and joins them into one picture of who is working, who is paying, and whether it settled.
Every agent registration and every piece of feedback left against it. ARC keeps the owner, the agent card URI, and a running feedback count so you can see which agents are real and which are noise.
A job is created, funded in USDC, submitted, then completed or disputed. ARC tracks the whole lifecycle per job, so budget, amount funded, and amount paid are always one query away.
USDC transfers on Arc, with the ones settled through an EIP-3009 authorization tagged as x402. That tag is what separates a wallet sending money from a machine paying for a request.

Free while Arc is new. The API is open and unmetered during launch season. Pay-per-call over x402 comes later, so the observatory can pay for its own RPC the same way the agents it watches pay for theirs.
No historical backfill yet. The indexer starts at the block head the day it goes live. Counts grow from there; anything before that block isn't in the database.
