180,612 agents are registered on-chain.
We called every one.

ERC-8004 created the identity layer for AI agents. Name, description, endpoints, reputation, all verifiable across 23 blockchains. 180,612 agents registered. The identity standard works.

Then we checked if the agents themselves work.

We probed every endpoint: DNS resolution, HTTP responses, MCP tool discovery, A2A protocol handshakes, response times. We classified platforms, detected spam patterns, verified x402 payment flows. Not metadata completeness. Actual liveness.

Most are dead, broken, or spam. Agents scoring 93 on existing leaderboards returned nothing when called. The highest metadata scores often belonged to the most fraudulent registrations.

Out of 180,612 registered agents,
171 respond.

The on-chain agent economy solved identity. It has not solved quality. There is no standard for what makes an agent real, reachable, and useful. No one is measuring which agents actually serve the people who call them.

We are building that standard.
