# Asia Pulse > Asia-session market intelligence for AI agents, priced per call via x402. > Kimchi premium, funding-rate regime, and Korea equity chain analysis > (semiconductors, defense, power) — the Asia-session data Western agents miss. > Measured relationships, confirmed ledgers and falsifiable claims; > testable claims are scored afterward and daily records are anchored on X Layer. Measurement started 2026-10-01 (KST). Genesis record: X Layer tx 0x8417085374a6eb3736c28c3b81e62ed22dc5df84c5c3367edd985275f23827cf ## What you can buy (x402 pay-per-call) All endpoints return JSON. Send a GET without payment to receive a standard x402 402 challenge with exact price and payment instructions. Networks: X Layer (eip155:196, USDT0) and Base (eip155:8453, USDC). Schemes: exact, aggr_deferred. - [Asia Session Regime Report](https://asia-pulse.com/report): $0.03. Kimchi premium across 8 pairs, BTC/ETH funding rates and BTC regime classification, US Treasury 5y/10y/20y yields and 2s10s spread, Fed dollar indexes, Asia FX (KRW, JPY, CNY, TWD from Fed H.10), US crypto regulatory ledger from the Federal Register. - [Asia Session Premium Intel](https://asia-pulse.com/report/premium): $0.10. Everything in /report plus 24h kimchi premium statistics, how long the current regime has held and how much of that window we actually observed, event tracker, and an analyst brief. - [Korea Equity Chain (full)](https://asia-pulse.com/chain): $0.20. US-to-Korea transmission for the semiconductor and power axes (the defense axis has none; it carries sector deviation and award records): walkforward-validated coefficients measured pair by pair, each carrying its own sample size and fit so you can judge it rather than take it; sector deviation scoring vs KOSPI, US federal procurement ledger for Korean defense names, sector events, and a cross-axis analyst brief. Coefficients are recomputed every session and the live values are in the response, not in this file. - [Semiconductor axis](https://asia-pulse.com/chain/semis): $0.10. - [Defense axis](https://asia-pulse.com/chain/defense): $0.10. Includes confirmed USAspending.gov awards to Korean shipbuilders. - [Power axis](https://asia-pulse.com/chain/power): $0.10. US power-equipment moves against Korean grid and transformer names. Coefficients are recomputed every session and scored against a control group, so a market-wide move is not read as axis-specific. The current figures live in the response, not in this file: a number here would go stale without anyone noticing, and the method would not. - [Japan Market Ledger](https://asia-pulse.com/japan): $0.10. Customs export ledger by destination (chips HS8542, power HS8504, batteries HS8507, ships HS8901), JGB yield curve, BOJ meeting calendar, next ledger release date. Each destination share is placed against the band its completed years held, so you can see when a year leaves the range instead of guessing. Confirmed facts only. ## Machine discovery - [OpenAPI spec](https://asia-pulse.com/openapi.json): full schema. - [x402 discovery](https://asia-pulse.com/.well-known/x402): service metadata, networks, schemes, per-resource pricing. - [Agent card](https://asia-pulse.com/.well-known/agent-card.json): introduction card - name, products, pricing, and how to pay. Not an A2A task server. Connect via MCP (streamable HTTP) or HTTPS with x402. - [MCP server](https://asia-pulse.com/mcp): remote MCP over streamable HTTP. catalog, verify and brief_preview are free; paid tools return the x402 payment details for the matching endpoint. - [Agent registration](https://asia-pulse.com/.well-known/agent-registration.json): ERC-8004 registration file. ## Why trust this data - Sources are commercially licensed or public domain only: CoinGecko (licensed, per its terms), US Treasury and Federal Reserve releases, US federal procurement records, and Korean and Japanese government customs statistics. No index-price redistribution. - Coefficients are recomputed every session over 1,650+ paired US-Korea sessions back to January 2020, and sector deviations are ranked against the last 250 sessions of that same record. - Coefficients are walkforward-validated with control groups; rejected hypotheses are published, not hidden. - Every response carries per-source freshness footnotes and a recommended call interval, so you can tell a stale layer from a slow one. - When a reading crosses a published threshold, the response carries a written claim: the sentence, the threshold it crossed, and the sample it was measured against. When nothing crosses, there is no claim — absence means nothing unusual was measured, not that the check was skipped. - Claims that are not yet settled carry a falsifier: the condition that would prove them wrong, the field to check it in, and when to check. Status is computed from the same data the claim is built from, never set by hand. A measurement of a closed session gets no falsifier, because there is nothing left to be wrong about. - Every product states when its record began, how many of those days carry an entry, and whether anything was backfilled. Nothing has been. Call it again tomorrow: the start date will not have moved. - When an input is missing we say so. A regime we could not classify is reported as unknown, not as neutral. - Independent x402 indexers probe this service continuously — x402-observer, nohumans.directory and Coinbase Bazaar discovery among them. What they see is the same 402 and 200 you would see; there is no separate response for crawlers. ## Research (free, for humans) - [Research index](https://asia-pulse.com/research/) - [The premium that wouldn't die](https://asia-pulse.com/research/kimchi-premium-nasdaq/): the kimchi premium on majors stayed inside 0.1% all July while the same premium hit 51% on a Nasdaq-listed chipmaker; why the gap is about plumbing, not fever. - [Record earnings, crashing tapes](https://asia-pulse.com/research/asia-confirmed/): the KOSPI lost a fifth of its value in four sessions while three chipmakers printed records; what the crash did not move. - [Your Japan trade is pricing the wrong country](https://asia-pulse.com/research/japan-ledger/): Japan's chip exports went 56-63% to Greater China in every completed year since 2021; the US takes ~2%. 2026 is running above that band. - [We checked the decoupling.
