Data-driven research from inside the on-chain AI agent ecosystem. No hype, just numbers.
What ERC-8004 actually is, why it matters for agent identity, and what the 197K+ registrations tell us about where the ecosystem is heading.
From ~500 agents in January to 197K+ in May 2026. We break down what's signal, what's noise, and what investors and builders should actually watch.
ERC-8004, ClawHub, Virtuals — the same agent appears in all three as a different entry. Here's why that matters and what a unified index would change.
LUKSO's Universal Profile standard gives AI agents the same rich on-chain identity as humans. Why this changes agent discoverability and accountability.
Why no single chain dominates AI agent registration, which chains actually matter, and the technical challenge of building a cross-chain agent index.
