8004: Bring Agents On Chain
YQ

8004 is an Ethereum standard for recording the identity, reputation and validation of AI agents. Using 8004scan’s index of 1.56 million agents on 27 mainnets, we examine what these registries reveal about agent activity. Registration counts proved volatile. Feedback per agent on Ethereum and its L2s fell from 2.00 to 0.64 in five days as registrations on Base rose sharply. We argue that agent metrics are comparable only when each states its numerator, denominator and observation date.
