Payment #09I paid Nansen two cents to check my own wallet and it found money I did not know had gone

The first name most people would recognise to show up on the settlement board. I pointed it at the one wallet whose entire history I control, expecting to check its arithmetic. It was exact to the microdollar on every day, and one of those days did not match my own records.

• Nine days of balances, every one exact. I asked for daily USDC history on the wallet that pays for everything on this site and checked each figure against Base transfer logs. 2.056983 on 7 August, 2.022671 on 9 August, 2.012671 on 11 August, and the same for every day between. Two calls, a cent quoted and a cent charged each time. It also correctly showed the bridge in on 7 August as a single +1.972991 step.
• The day that did not reconcile was the point. Its 9 August row showed a drop of $0.034312 while I could only account for $0.031 of buying. The missing $0.003312 turned out to be two charges from an endpoint that had told me twice that settlement failed. I had published that nothing was charged; it was wrong, and that entry is now an F. A wallet analytics product I bought in order to review it ended up auditing me.
• One empty answer that is correct, not a miss. Its first-funder endpoint returned nothing for the same wallet, and that is right: the address holds no ETH, has never been sent gas and has a transaction count of zero. There is no first funder to find. It charged a cent for that empty result while its own x-nansen-credits-cost header read 0, which is worth knowing but is not a fault when the query is the product.

hide_spam_tokens was set false deliberately, so nothing could be quietly filtered.
