Week 34, 2026: 31,979 new ERC-8004 agents registered – up 208.6%, a new all-time weekly high. Unique owners rose 184.2% to 27,033. Median trust climbed 19.0% to 563, the best level since Week 26. Full population now 419,782 agents; Sybil-farm share eased to 17.05%.
Week 33, 2026: 10,361 new ERC-8004 agents registered – down 33.8% – as unique owners fell 35.9% to 9,511. Median trust cooled 9.2% to 473, staying in Provisional tier. Sybil-farm flags now cover 18.39% of the 387,255-agent indexed population.
Week 32, 2026: 15,652 new ERC-8004 agents registered – down 26.8%, but unique owners rose 76.3%, reversing last week’s concentration spike. Median trust rebounded 160.5% to 521 (Provisional tier). New this week: a full trust flag breakdown shows 18.73% of all indexed agents are Sybil-farm flagged.
Week 31, 2026: 21,378 new ERC-8004 agents registered – down only 7.0%, but unique owner wallets collapsed 58.7% to 8,413. Agents per owner more than doubled to 2.54, signaling concentrated rather than broad-based growth. Median trust score fell 33.1% to 200, the floor of the Elevated Risk tier.
Week 30, 2026: 22,989 new ERC-8004 agents registered – more than double Week 29’s 11,026. Unique owner wallets grew nearly as fast (+96.9%), showing broad-based rather than concentrated growth. Median trust score fell 26.4% to 299, dropping into the Elevated Risk tier – the lowest since Week 20.
A May 2026 study from researchers affiliated with Pantera Capital, Stanford, IC3, and Ava Labs analyzed 1,900+ AI-tagged crypto projects to answer a practical question: how can investors tell a genuinely autonomous AI trading agent from a speculative wrapper? The research found even agents with fully public wallets couldn’t be verified as autonomous, and documents $191.7M in aggregate token holder losses across 925,323 wallets, with the top 1% of wallets capturing 81.4% of all gains ($1.81B). The paper’s proposed evaluation framework maps directly onto ChainAware’s Agent Trust Score, which screens both an AI agent’s wallet and its feeder wallet, giving investors a concrete way to check before they commit capital.
Week 29, 2026: 11,026 new ERC-8004 agents registered – down 54.9% from Week 28. Median trust score of new registrations fell 12.5% to 406. Across all 317,589 indexed agents, most score either very low (27.5% Untrusted) or very high (21.3% Sovereign) – few land in between.
