Data covers ERC-8004 agent registrations and Agent Trust Score assessments. Week 34 = week ending Sunday, August 23, 2026.
Week 34 delivered the sharpest rebound in the tracker’s history. 31,979 new agents registered – up 208.6% from Week 33’s 10,361, and the highest weekly registration total we have recorded to date, surpassing the prior peak of 29,577 in Week 27. Unique owner wallets nearly tripled as well, up 184.2% to 27,033. Median trust score climbed 19.0% to 563, its highest level since Week 26’s 644 and comfortably inside the Provisional tier. The full indexed agent population now stands at 419,782, up 32,527 from last week – almost exactly matching this week’s own registration count.
Week 34 Key Numbers
Week 34 Analysis
Registrations Hit a New All-Time Weekly High
31,979 new registrations breaks the prior weekly record of 29,577 set in Week 27, and marks the first time weekly registrations have crossed 30,000 since tracking began in Week 5. The jump reverses three consecutive weeks of decline (W31 through W33) in a single move, more than tripling the prior week’s total. Unique owners grew in near-lockstep, up 184.2% to 27,033, keeping the agents-per-owner ratio close to the broad-based pattern seen since Week 32 rather than signaling a concentrated fleet registration event.
Median Trust Score Reaches Its Best Level in Eight Weeks
Median trust score rose to 563, up 19.0% from Week 33’s 473 and the highest weekly figure since Week 26’s 644. Unlike prior volume surges – Week 31’s spike in registrations came with a median trust score of just 200 – this week’s much larger surge in registrations arrived alongside rising, not falling, trust quality. That combination is unusual in this dataset: past registration surges have typically diluted median trust as opportunistic or lower-quality registrations enter alongside legitimate ones.
Agents-Per-Owner Ticks Up Slightly
At 1.18 agents per owner, Week 34 is a bit higher than Week 33’s 1.09 and Week 32’s 1.06, but still far below Week 31’s 2.54 fleet-registration ratio. The modest uptick suggests a small increase in multi-agent registration behavior alongside the broader wave of new individual owners, rather than a return to concentrated batch registration.

Note: Median trust score reflects the median Agent Trust Score of agents registered in that specific week, not the cumulative population median. The trust flag breakdown below covers the full indexed population (419,782 agents) as of Week 34, not just this week’s registrations.
Trust Flag Breakdown: What the Full Agent Population Looks Like
The full indexed agent population now stands at 419,782 agents across eight chains, up from 387,255 last week – an increase of 32,527, closely tracking this week’s own registration volume. Here is the updated trust flag breakdown across that entire population.
| Flag | Agents | Share | What It Means |
|---|---|---|---|
| FARM_DETECTED | 71,574 | 17.05% | Belongs to a Sybil fleet – a single operator controlling multiple agents |
| FEEDER_UNKNOWN | 32,811 | 7.82% | Owner wallet’s funding source is obfuscated or untraceable |
| EIP7702_DELEGATED | 21,330 | 5.08% | Owner has delegated control to a secondary address |
| FEEDER_CEX_VERIFIED | 2,801 | 0.67% | Owner confirmed funded by a centralized exchange – the strongest legitimacy signal available |
| FEEDER_RUG_HISTORY | 769 | 0.18% | Owner wallet was funded by a confirmed rug pull operator |
| CREATOR_RUG_HISTORY | 61 | 0.01% | Agent is controlled directly by a confirmed rug pull creator |
| CREATOR_HONEYPOT_HISTORY | 8 | 0.00% | Owner has previously created a honeypot token contract |
| ERC6551_TBA | 2,279 | 0.54% | Owner is an ERC-6551 Token Bound Account – the real controller is whoever holds the NFT |
| OWNER_MULTISIG | 17 | 0.00% | Owner is a Gnosis Safe multisig, requiring multiple signers to act |
Sybil-farm flagged agents fell as a share of the population, from 18.39% to 17.05%, even though the absolute count rose slightly (+359 agents) – a sign that this week’s 32,000-agent surge was disproportionately composed of non-farm registrations, diluting the farm share rather than adding to it. FEEDER_UNKNOWN followed a similar pattern, dropping from 8.11% to 7.82% of the population despite an absolute increase of 1,400 agents. This directional split – rising absolute counts but falling population share for the two largest risk flags – is consistent with a genuine influx of new, more broadly distributed registrations this week rather than another farm-driven event.
The most serious flags remain rare and largely unchanged in absolute terms: 769 agents have an owner funded by a confirmed rug pull operator (up 9 from last week), and 61 agents are controlled directly by a wallet with a confirmed rug pull history (unchanged). Confirmed CEX-funded owners ticked up to 2,801 agents but slipped slightly as a population share to 0.67%. Honeypot-linked flags and the structural multisig-council flags remain at effectively zero or unchanged from last week.
About This Tracker
ChainAware.ai’s weekly ERC-8004 agent tracker monitors new agent registrations on the ERC-8004 Identity Registry, the number of unique owner wallets behind those registrations, and the median Agent Trust Score of each week’s registration cohort. Agent Trust Score is a 0-1000 score combining owner wallet fraud probability, feeder address analysis, farm detection, and criminal record checks – see the full Agent Trust Score methodology for how the model scores agents and their controlling wallets. Data is updated weekly alongside ChainAware’s PancakeSwap/Uniswap rug pull tracker.
