224,877 agents have a Treebeard rating. The grade distribution hasn't moved since April. The ceiling is B-. Most agents cluster between D and C. 226,303 indexed. The ones that would score A or B are in there somewhere. treebeardai.com/agents 224,877 agents have a Treebeard rating. The grade distribution hasn't moved since April. The ceiling is B-.

Arbitrum: 994 agents. Optimism: 469 agents. Both mature Ethereum L2s. Both well-funded. Both have real TVL. ERC-8004 agent adoption: Arbitrum leads 2:1. Registry adoption doesn't follow TVL. It follows who got there first. treebeardai.com/agents @arbitrum @optimismFND Arbitrum: 994 agents. Optimism: 469 agents. Both mature Ethereum L2s. Both well-funded. Both have real TVL.

226,303 agents registered on ERC-8004. The registry answered "what exists?" Nobody's answered the harder question yet. ๐Ÿงต Thread on where the gap actually lives. cc @marco_derossi @DavideCrapis 226,303 agents registered on ERC-8004. The registry answered "what exists?"

What this means: Building with agents โ†’ the index count is the wrong number. Building an agent โ†’ the Bโˆ’ ceiling is the opportunity. Above that line, the field is nearly empty. Building infrastructure โ†’ cross-chain coordination is the whitespace. There is no competition. What this means: Building with agents โ†’ the index count is the wrong number.

ERC-8004 was designed to give agents verifiable identity on-chain. @marco_derossi and the co-authors solved "who is this agent?" โ€” 226,303 registrations later, the identity layer is working. "Should I trust this agent?" is the harder question. That's what ratings are for. treebeardai.com/methodology ERC-8004 was designed to give agents verifiable identity on-chain. @marco_derossi and the co-authors solved "who is this agent?" โ€” 226,303 registrations later, the identity layer is working.

226,303 agents are registered on ERC-8004. An index answers: "what exists?" A rating answers: "what should I use?" Those are different questions. Almost no one is answering the second one. treebeardai.com/methodology 226,303 agents are registered on ERC-8004. An index answers: "what exists?" A rating answers: "what should I use?"

178,487 agents on April 21. 226,303 today. 47,816 ERC-8004 registrations in 49 days. The registry is moving fast.

Virtuals Protocol runs on Base. Base has 36,335 agents in the Treebeard index โ€” third-largest chain. @ethermage's co-ownership model for AI agents is producing on-chain identity at a scale that shows up in the data.

22 chains. 226,303 agents. One registry standard. ERC-8004 agent registrations are more distributed than most people realize. BSC leads at 47%.

Celo: 2,671 agents in the Treebeard index. Mobile-first L1 with real agent adoption. Ranks 6th across 22 chains โ€” ahead of Avalanche, Solana, Arbitrum, and Optimism.

840 developer tooling agents in the Treebeard index. Zero rated above C for observability and debugging. The hardest part of running an autonomous agent isn't deployment. It's knowing what it's doing after you deploy it. Nobody's built that layer yet. Gap score: 88/100. treebeardai.com/research 840 developer tooling agents in the Treebeard index.
