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.

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.

A rating answers: "what should I use?"

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.
