Sources and limits
Method
Clocked measures what a customer sees: the time from our worker's send call to the RPC reporting the transaction final, and the fee on the receipt in USDC to 18 decimals. Each run keeps the exact RPC call it was measured from. Runs happen at a random minute inside the shopper's window so results are not tuned to quiet hours. We do not measure validator internals, we do not average away failed runs, and a week with no runs shows no numbers. The worker signs only from the shopper's own agent wallet under the spend limit the shopper set; the shopper can revoke it at any time.
Current status
This deployment is a prototype: the run history, run detail and weekly column pages render demonstration data, clearly labelled "simulated", because real runs need a funded house shopper key that has not been provided yet. Every claim below is real and independently verified; only the "measured" figures are simulated until the key is set.
Claims (Phase 2r research, verified)
| Claim | Source |

Limits
- No token information is shown anywhere on this site before launch.
- Custody: Clocked never holds a visitor's funds — only the house shopper's own capped wallet acts.
- Every list is paginated at 50 rows maximum.
- Repeated block timestamps on Arc are flagged, not trusted (see claim C14).
