🤖A comprehensive empirical study of the ERC-8004 protocol—designed to establish trustworthiness in AI agent economies—reveals critical vulnerabilities across three blockchain networks. The research finds that most agent registrations are inactive, reputation scores lack verifiable grounding, and Sybil attacks compromise the trust infrastructure at alarming rates, suggesting the protocol requires substantial redesign before it can reliably serve as a trust signal.
