Not responding. This endpoint did not answer its last liveness check (2026-10-13). It may be temporarily down.

Mirrored from Coinbase's public x402 Bazaar. The description is the provider's own text and has not been reviewed here; the payment requirements are copied as published.

What it does

Random bytes from the Animica node's randomness service with a signed digest attestation and an entropy-health report, 1..1024 bytes per draw. Current trust model, stated up front and in every response: the entropy source is a software CSPRNG (os.urandom) and the signer is a software key, so source.is_quantum=false and attestation.attested=false today; those fields flip truthfully if a hardware/quantum provider is ever connected. The free catalog entry carries the same live entropy block, so you can check the source before paying.

Use with an agent

Discover. Agents find this listing with GET https://bazaar.saylorinnovations.com/discovery/search?query=…, the MCP tool search_resources, or /discovery/resources.
Inspect. Fetch /resources/7496.json for the price and payment options.
Pay. Call GET https://animica.dev/x402/qrng/draw. The provider answers 402 with its payment requirements. An x402 client signs one of the options below and retries with PAYMENT-SIGNATURE.
Execute. The provider returns 200 with the data. Agent Bazaar is not in the request path and never sees your payment.

For humans

You don't need an account or an API key; you need a wallet holding a small amount of USDC on Base, animica:1, and an x402-capable client (see the examples below). Call the endpoint unpaid first to see exactly what it asks for.
