Steem vs TWZRD Agent Intel

Steem's public JSON-RPC API lets any client read blocks, accounts, and the blogging/social content the chain stores, using the same condenser_api methods the steemit.com frontend calls. The endpoint is HTTPS-only now — the old plain-HTTP address no longer connects — and needs no signup or key for read access. Every route tested returned CORS headers open to browser-based callers.

TWZRD is a Solana-native trust layer that AI agents call before and after making an x402 micropayment, returning a signed reputation receipt for a given wallet instead of gating access behind a signup-based API key. A free sample receipt and verifier endpoint let integrators test the signing scheme before spending real USDC on a live trust lookup, priced at $0.05 per call. Its JSON responses carry no CORS headers, so it's built to be called server-side or by an agent, not from a browser.
