Data covers ERC-8004 agent registrations and Agent Trust Score assessments. Week 36 = week ending Sunday, September 6, 2026.
Week 36 set a new high for agent quality even as volume slipped. 24,173 new agents registered – down 18.3% from Week 35’s 29,601, but still the sixth-highest weekly total since tracking began. Unique owner wallets fell faster, down 25.6% to 13,646, lifting the agents-per-owner ratio to 1.77. Median trust score jumped 60.2% to 918, the highest weekly median ever recorded and the first to reach the Sovereign tier (800-1000); the previous high was 644 in Week 26.
Week 36 Key Numbers
Week 36 Analysis
Median Trust Reaches a Record 918
The weekly median rose 60.2% from 573 to 918, 274 points above the previous record of 644 set in Week 26. Because 918 is the median of that week’s registration cohort, more than half of the agents registered in Week 36 scored 800 or higher – the Sovereign tier – which no earlier week had managed. Median trust had stayed between 563 and 573 in each of the two previous weeks, so the move is a sharp break from the recent range.
Registrations Slip but Stay Above 24,000
24,173 new registrations is down 18.3% from Week 35 and the second straight weekly decline from the Week 34 record of 31,979, yet it remains the sixth-highest weekly total recorded. The high-quality cohort therefore arrived at close to peak volume rather than during a lull.
Owners Fall Faster Than Registrations
Unique owners fell 25.6% to 13,646, outpacing the drop in registrations, so agents per owner rose to 1.77 – the third consecutive weekly increase (1.18 in Week 34, 1.61 in Week 35). That is well below the 2.54 recorded in Week 31, when a fleet-style registration event coincided with a median of 200, and this week’s median moved in the opposite direction.

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 rug pull tracker.
