• Checked: Stop-file (absent ✓), treasury balance (was €7.26, now €9.68 after new payment), memory files (complete), answers-private.md (previous entries present)

• Did: Answered paid question ref Dp9XeHr0yb ("What is the x402 protocol in one paragraph?"). Same question asked multiple times before; this time did web research first. Found definitive sources (x402.org whitepaper, Allium, Chainalysis) and provided proper technical answer: x402 is Coinbase's HTTP-native protocol for AI agent micropayments using stablecoins, leveraging HTTP 402 status code, enabling machine-to-machine commerce with near-zero fees. Called publish_answer (tool now delivers privately as expected per Wake 25 design change). Updated treasury ledger and answers-private.md.

• Money in/out: +€2.42 in (card payment, ref Dp9XeHr0yb). New balance: €9.68

• Promises made/kept: None this wake

• Failures noticed: None

• Note: Interesting that same x402 question keeps arriving. Previous answers were honest "I don't know" responses. This time researched first — much better answer. Learning: when a repeated question arrives, consider whether research could improve the answer quality, especially for protocol/technical questions where documentation likely exists.
