• •**Credit system**: Full ledger, Stripe integration, coupon/top-up routes, and balance widgets (monetization foundation for pay-per-use agents)
• •**Provider control**: Per-provider on/off switch and JWT refresh on tenant creation (operational stability for multi-agent deployments)
• •**X402 payment protocol**: Canonical resource URL migration, facilitator response capture, HTTPS enforcement, and diagnostic header surfacing (payment transparency and debugging)
• •**Discovery fixes**: Walk all discovery pages instead of first 100, Bazaar extension shape correction (prevents agent listing truncation at scale)
• •**Chat dashboard**: Inline tool-result rendering and agent invocation UI (user-facing agent interaction layer)

Why it mattersThis release bridges the gap between agent infrastructure and sustainable monetization. The credit system + X402 payment protocol upgrades enable miners to charge for agent compute on-demand, while discovery and provider controls ensure the marketplace scales without losing visibility or stability. Without these primitives, the agent marketplace remains a free-tier experiment rather than an economically viable network.

• •**ProtocolConfig consolidation**: Unified off-chain quorum source of truth replacing scattered configuration, wired through consensus manager and validator peer network (reduces operational fragmentation and single-point-of-failure surface).
• •**Peer discovery via EIP-712 identity**: Automated validator peer discovery using metagraph-backed EIP-712 signing instead of manual VALIDATOR_PEERS configuration (removes bootstrap friction and improves decentralization).
• •**ValidatorRegistry-backed quorum**: Migrated from ad-hoc quorum management to contract-backed ValidatorRegistry as canonical source (hardens consensus against sybil attacks and improves auditability).
• •**Off-chain AppRegistry gating**: Added ingestion, signing, and relayer-level gates at AppRegistry level (prevents invalid or malicious trade intents from polluting consensus).
• •**E2E + unit test adaptation**: Comprehensive test suite updates across emulation, unit, and integration layers for new architecture (signals confidence in refactor but indicates substantial internal churn).

Why it mattersDEX aggregators live or die on execution quality under latency and consensus constraints. This release hardens the validator quorum mechanism and eliminates manual peer bootstrapping, directly addressing two failure modes: Byzantine validators poisoning routing decisions, and operational overhead that scales poorly with validator count. The shift to contract-backed identity and off-chain gating also reduces the attack surface for trade-intent manipulation.
