Data covers ERC-8004 agent registrations and Agent Trust Score assessments. Week 43 = week ending Sunday, October 25, 2026.
Week 43 dwarfs every earlier week. 892,924 new agents registered on the ERC-8004 Identity Registry – up 644.2% from Week 42’s already-record 119,991, and 27.9 times the weekly high of 31,979 that stood until Week 41. Unique owner wallets rose 670.0% to 887,318, and the median trust score of the week’s cohort fell 28.6% to 250.
Week 43 Key Numbers
Week 43 Analysis
One Week Larger Than the Previous 37 Weeks Combined
The 892,924 registrations in Week 43 are 1.7 times the 520,469 agents registered across all of Weeks 5 to 41 combined, and 7.4 times Week 42. Counting Weeks 5 to 44, the week accounts for 57.5% of all 1,553,439 registrations recorded in 2026. Unique owners reached 887,318, against a pre-Week 42 weekly high of 27,033.
Agents Per Owner Falls to 1.006: Nearly Every Agent Has Its Own Owner
Agents per owner fell to 1.006, the lowest of the 39 weeks tracked and below Week 42’s 1.041, which had itself broken the previous low of 1.055. On average, each of the week’s owner wallets registered barely more than one agent. A pattern of many single-agent wallets is the opposite of the fleet structure our Sybil-farm flag looks for, but wallets can be created in bulk, so the owner count alone does not show that the registrants are independent.
Median Trust Falls to 250, and Base Drives the Indexed Population Past 1.6 Million
The weekly median trust score fell 100 points to 250, still in the Elevated Risk tier (200-399) but the lowest weekly reading since Week 38’s 200. Our weekly data does not split registrations by chain. Our population snapshots do: between the October 15 snapshot (568,590 agents) and the November 3 snapshot (1,616,634 agents) the indexed population grew by 1,048,044 agents, and Base accounts for 1,017,163 of that increase (97.1%). That interval spans more than Week 43, so it is context rather than a weekly attribution. Population and trust flag detail is in our Week 44 report.

Note: Median trust score reflects the median Agent Trust Score of agents registered in that specific week, not the cumulative population median. Weekly registration and owner counts are unchanged from earlier reports, but weekly medians for earlier weeks have been restated as agents were rescored; for example, Week 41 is now 350, against the 101 shown in our Week 41 report. Comparisons use the restated medians from our latest data. Population figures cited are snapshots, and the November 3 snapshot was taken during Week 45.
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.
