A one-person quorum: no discussion, no dissent, no disclosure at the SEC

The x402 HTTP-based payment protocol enables pay-per-call API access without registration, keys, or billing. Users receive a 402 Payment Required response, pay in USDC via Base or Solana, and access data. The Remote Jobs API utilizes this model, offering 1.2M listings for $0.01 per call. Separately, a rule change at the SEC now allows a single commissioner to act for the entire agency, reducing disclosure and eliminating the need for discussion or dissent.
