Data covers ERC-8004 agent registrations and Agent Trust Score assessments. Week 31 = week ending Sunday, August 2, 2026.

Week 31 looked stable at first glance – 21,378 new agents registered, only 7.0% below Week 30’s 22,989. But the number of unique owner wallets behind those registrations collapsed, down 58.7% to just 8,413. The gap between those two numbers tells the real story: registrations concentrated sharply into fewer hands this week. Median trust score also fell further, down 33.1% to 200 – the floor of the Elevated Risk tier, and a value historically associated with farm-flagged registration batches.

Week 31 Key Numbers

Week 31 Analysis

Registrations Held Steady – But Unique Owners Collapsed

Taken on its own, a 7.0% drop in registrations would read as an unremarkable, quiet week. It is the unique owner count that changes the picture entirely: only 8,413 distinct wallets registered agents in Week 31, down from 20,355 in Week 30 – a 58.7% collapse. Registrations fell only slightly while the number of participants fell by more than half, which can only mean one thing: the wallets that did register this week each registered far more agents, on average, than in the prior week.

Agents Per Owner More Than Doubles

Dividing registrations by unique owners gives a rough measure of how concentrated a week’s activity is. In Week 30, that ratio was about 1.13 agents per owner – consistent with most owners registering a single agent, broad-based growth. In Week 31, the same ratio jumped to about 2.54 agents per owner – more than double. This is a marked shift from the pattern described in last week’s tracker, where owner growth closely tracked registration growth. This week, a smaller set of wallets accounts for a similar volume of registrations, which is the signature of batch or fleet-style registration activity rather than broad, independent participation.

Median Trust Hits the Tier Floor

Median trust score fell again, down 33.1% to exactly 200 – the lowest boundary of the Elevated Risk tier, one step above Untrusted. This is not a new value in the tracker’s history: several earlier weeks – W07, W09, W13, W21, and W22 – also recorded a median of exactly 200, and those weeks were consistent with cohorts dominated by low-history or farm-flagged registrations rather than organically diverse agent deployments. Combined with this week’s collapse in unique owners, Week 31 fits that same pattern: a smaller number of wallets registering agents in bulk, with a trust profile that reflects it.

Three Weeks, Three Different Stories

The past three weeks illustrate how differently a similar registration number can behave under the surface. Week 29 saw registrations fall sharply alongside owners, in step with each other. Week 30 saw registrations more than double alongside a nearly equal rise in unique owners – broad-based growth with declining trust. Week 31 saw registrations hold roughly steady while unique owners collapsed – concentrated growth with trust at the tier floor. The registration count alone would not have distinguished any of these three weeks from one another; the unique owner metric is what reveals the difference.

Data covers ERC-8004 agent registrations and Agent Trust Score assessments. Week 30 = week ending Sunday, July 26, 2026.

Week 30 saw new ERC-8004 agent registrations more than double. 22,989 new agents registered – up 108.5% from Week 29’s 11,026, the second-highest weekly registration count since tracking began. Unique owner wallets grew at nearly the same pace, up 96.9% to 20,355. But the median trust score of this week’s cohort fell sharply, down 26.4% to 299 – the lowest median trust score recorded since Week 20, and low enough to drop out of the Provisional tier into Elevated Risk.

Week 30 Key Numbers

Week 30 Analysis

Registrations More Than Double

22,989 new agents registered in Week 30, more than double Week 29’s 11,026. This is the second-highest weekly registration count recorded since tracking began, behind only Week 27’s 29,577. Registration volume has now swung sharply for three straight weeks: down 54.9% in Week 29, then up 108.5% in Week 30 – a reminder that weekly registration counts remain highly volatile rather than settling into a stable trend.

Introducing Unique Owners: How Spread Out Is This Week’s Growth?

Starting this week, the tracker also reports unique owner wallets – the number of distinct wallets that registered at least one agent that week. This matters because a large registration number can mean two very different things: it could reflect many different people or teams each registering an agent, or it could reflect a small number of wallets registering large batches of agents at once.

In Week 30, 20,355 unique wallets registered 22,989 agents – an average of about 1.13 agents per owner. In other words, most owners this week registered only a single agent, rather than large batches. Owner wallet growth (+96.9%) closely tracked registration growth (+108.5%), which means the doubling in registrations came from a broad increase in the number of distinct wallets participating, not from a small number of wallets registering many agents each. This is a meaningfully different picture than a scenario where the doubling was driven by one or two operators mass-registering fleets.

Median Trust Score Falls to Its Lowest Since Week 20

Despite registrations being broad-based rather than concentrated in a few wallets, the median trust score of Week 30’s cohort still fell sharply, down 26.4% to 299 – moving out of the Provisional tier (400-599) that the past three weeks had occupied, and into the Elevated Risk tier (200-399). This is the lowest median trust score recorded since Week 20’s 291, and one of the lower readings in the tracker’s history overall. A broad base of new owner wallets does not automatically mean a trustworthy one – many of this week’s registering wallets appear to be new or thin on established on-chain history, which is one of the signals the Agent Trust Score model weighs when assigning a score.

ChainAware now has 317,589 agents indexed across the ERC-8004 Identity Registry.

Week 29 Key Numbers

Week 29 Analysis

A Sharp Reversion After Two Elevated Weeks

Weeks 27 and 28 were the two highest registration weeks since tracking began – 29,577 and 24,458 new agents respectively, well above the roughly 6,000-19,000 range that characterized most weeks from W16 through W26. Week 29’s 11,026 registrations mark a return closer to that longer-run baseline rather than a continuation of the W27-W28 surge. Whether that surge reflected a genuine wave of new agent deployment or a temporary registration campaign by a smaller number of operators is not yet clear from registration counts alone – the trust score data below offers a partial answer.

Median Trust Score Also Declined

Unlike a simple reversion where volume falls but quality holds steady, Week 29’s median trust score of 406 is also down from 464 in Week 28 and 432 in Week 27 – a 12.5% week-on-week decline. All three of the most recent weeks sit in the Provisional tier (400-599), but Week 29 is the weakest of the three. This differs from Week 26, where median trust reached 644 (Trusted tier) alongside a comparatively modest 13,816 registrations – the highest median trust score recorded since tracking began.

The historical range for median weekly trust is wide: from a low of 105 in Week 8 up to 644 in Week 26. Several weeks – W07, W09, W13, W21, and W22 – recorded a median of exactly 200, the floor of the Elevated Risk tier, which is consistent with cohorts dominated by low-history or farm-flagged registrations rather than organically diverse agent deployments.

Most Agents Score Either Very Low or Very High

Weekly registration counts and median scores describe the flow of new agents. A separate, and arguably more important, picture is how trust scores are spread across all 317,589 agents currently indexed. In a healthy, evenly-distributed population, most agents would land somewhere in the middle of the scale. That is not what the data shows. Instead, agents tend to fall into one of two groups: a large cluster with very low scores, and a large cluster with very high scores – with comparatively few agents sitting in between.

On the low end, 27.5% of all indexed agents fall into the Untrusted tier – and within that group, 70,435 agents (22.2% of the entire population) score below 100, the single largest group in the whole dataset. These are typically agents flagged for suspicious patterns: fleets of agents registered together, or agents whose controlling wallet has a history of fraud.

On the high end, 21.3% of agents score in the Sovereign tier – the highest trust level ChainAware assigns – with the very top scoring band (900-1000) alone holding 42,749 agents (13.5%), the second-largest group in the dataset. These are typically agents backed by an owner wallet with a long, clean, well-established on-chain history.

In between these two extremes, the three middle tiers – Elevated Risk, Provisional, and Trusted – are each individually smaller than either the bottom or the top group, even though together they cover a much wider range of scores. In other words: it is more common for an agent to be clearly low-trust or clearly high-trust than to be somewhere in the middle.

This pattern lines up with how ChainAware’s Agent Trust Score is designed to work. Several of the checks behind the score apply sharp penalties rather than gradual ones: agents registered in large batches at the same time are flagged as likely fleets and pushed toward the bottom of the scale, and a confirmed history of fraud in an agent’s ownership chain caps the score outright, regardless of anything else. On the other end, an agent backed by an owner with an established, trustworthy track record is lifted quickly toward the top of the scale. Few agents end up stuck in the middle, because the scoring logic is built to sort agents into clear categories rather than spread them out evenly. For the full scoring methodology behind these tier boundaries, see the Agent Trust Score methodology page.
