Report

State of Onchain Agents 2026

Twenty numbers, each with its method.

Generated 2026-09-07 by scripts/report-draft.mjs from Sato Hub's tables. Nothing in this document is typed in; every number has the query that reproduces it. The rows do not add across venues, chains or stages — that is a property of the data, not a formatting choice. "Unknown" means unknown, never zero.

Publication of this document as a page is an owner decision; the draft is generated every week regardless.

01
Share of listings with a deploy spec whose install we reproduced in a container
23.6% % of listings with a deploy_spec
- Stage: directory / deploy_status=verified
- Method: weekly container run of the published install steps (scripts/verify-deploy-spec.mjs)
- Sample: 305
- As of: 2026-09-07
- Note: 72 of 305. Says the install steps complete; nothing about runtime or safety.
Reproduce
```
jq '[.[]|select(.deploy_spec!=null)]|length, ([.[]|select(.deploy_spec.deploy_status=="verified" or any(.deploy_spec.install_variants[]?; .deploy_status=="verified"))]|length)' data/resources.json

02
Container verification attempts recorded, and how many passed
28 / 68 runs
- Stage: deploy_verification_runs
- Method: one row per (slug, ran_at, lane) from the weekly verifier
- Sample: 68
- As of: 2026-09-07
- Note: A failing run names the rung it failed on; the queue retries failures after 28 days (--retry-failed-after). A credentials rung means the spec needs a secret the harness does not hold, not that the install is broken.
Reproduce
```
select count(*) filter (where ok), count(*) from deploy_verification_runs;

03
Listings with a 14-day observed record of our own checks

- As of: 2026-09-07
- Note: A success rate of OUR checks, not uptime: failures before 2026-09-01 are unattributable.

24,130 new registered agent id over the window

09
ERC-4337 smart accounts deployed on Base (week)
53,496 smart account deployed in the sampled blocks — TOTAL DEPLOYMENTS INCLUDING HUMANS, not agents
- Stage: erc4337_accounts / Base / deployed
- Method: EntryPoint AccountDeployed logs, stratified: 12/12 block segments spread across the trailing 7 days, every event in each segment counted, covering 37.70% of the window's blocks; factory read from the event's first data word, then grouped by provider (tier 2)
- Sample: 75991
- As of: 2026-09-07
- Note: Denominator for the supply↔demand join. A raw deployment count is NEVER an adoption figure. Coinbase Smart Wallet is the same contract behind consumer Coinbase Wallet, and every factory here serves ordinary humans. Read the intersected row instead.

10
Sampled smart accounts that ALSO hold an ERC-8004 id or settle x402
0 sampled smart account that ALSO holds an ERC-8004 agent id or settles x402
- Stage: erc4337_accounts / Base / intersected
- Method: for up to 250 distinct accounts from the deployment sample: balanceOf(account) on the ERC-8004 Identity Registry, plus membership of the set of addresses that paid a catalogued x402 seller in the same window (tier 2)
- Sample: 250
- As of: 2026-09-07
- Note: The intersection is the number, not either count alone. This is the only figure on this venue that may be described as adoption, and it is still an indicator rather than proof — an account can hold an agent id without being an agent. Both legs are one-week windows; an account that settled x402 last month does not appear.

11
Virtuals agent tokens with a transfer in the last 7 days
58 sampled graduated agent whose token had >=1 Transfer in the trailing 7 days (market activity of the TOKEN, not the agent)
- Stage: virtuals / Base / token_active_7d
- Method: every 10th agent id of 1233 on AgentNftV2 resolved to its ERC-20 via virtualInfo(tokenId); all 123 resolved tokens placed in one eth_getLogs address filter over the trailing 7 days on Base (tier 3)
- Sample: 123
- As of: 2026-09-07
- Note: Share of the catalogue, denominator stated in the row. A token transfer is market activity around the agent — trading, liquidity, airdrops — and is not evidence the agent did anything. 1 of 124 sampled ids could not be resolved and are excluded from the denominator.

x402 settlements to catalogued sellers after the noise filter
145,758 USDC transfer to a catalogued x402 seller, EXCLUDING sellers classified as machine noise
- Stage: x402 / Base / settled_to_catalogued_seller_real
- Method: the settled_to_catalogued_seller lane minus transfers to sellers where mean transfer < $0.02 AND distinct payers <= 3 over the window (heuristic; thresholds are constants, stated here) (tier 3)
- Sample: —
- As of: 2026-09-07
- Note: Real vs nominal: mean ≤ $0.02 with ≤ 3 payers is classified as noise and reported as a second figure. A heuristic, not a fact: 288 of 812 paid sellers (5,131 transfers, $43) were classified as machine noise this window. The nominal row is unchanged and sits beside this one.

Catalogued x402 sellers paid at least once (real)
524 catalogued x402 seller paid at least once, EXCLUDING sellers classified as machine noise
- Stage: x402 / Base / seller_paid_real
- Method: the seller_paid lane minus sellers classified as machine noise by the same rule (tier 3)
- Sample: —
- As of: 2026-09-07
- Note: Heuristic. A seller with one automated customer is real revenue to that seller; it is excluded here because the question this row answers is breadth of demand, not existence of it.

Solana agent-identity program accounts (UPPER BOUND)
1,585 program account (UPPER BOUND — includes initialised-but-unused and duplicate accounts)
- Stage: solana_mpl_agent_identity / Solana / registered_upper_bound
- Method: getProgramAccounts on 1DREGFgysWYxLnRnKQnwrxnJQeSMk2HmGaC6whw2B2p with a zero-length dataSlice (keys only) via public mainnet RPC; count of returned accounts (tier 2)
- Sample: —
- As of: 2026-09-07
- Note: getProgramAccounts counts every account the program owns, agents or not. An account is not an agent, and the count includes per-agent metadata PDAs and unused entries. Read as 'at most this many'. Solana x402 settlement is NOT covered by any row in this collector.

pathUSD TransferWithMemo transfers on Tempo in 7 days
17 memo-tagged pathUSD transfer in the sampled blocks
- Stage: tempo_mpp / Tempo / memo_transfers_7d
- Method: eth_getLogs for TransferWithMemo on pathUSD 0x20c0000000000000000000000000000000000000, 12/12 stratified segments across the trailing 7 days covering 10.5% of the window's blocks; every event in each segment counted (tier 2)
- Sample: 17
- As of: 2026-09-07
- Note: Memo transfers are the MPP payment shape; not every memo transfer is an agent payment. MPP can settle over other rails and other TIP-20s, and any transfer may carry a memo. This is a sampled count over one token on one chain — RATES between the three rows are valid, the counts are floors over the sampled blocks.

Largest single producing platform in the ERC-8004 sample (termix-platform-prod.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com, listed as termix)
112 registration in sample attributed to a producing platform

- As of: 2026-09-07
- Note: Attribution by agentURI host; a host is strong evidence of the producer, not proof. Sample count, never scaled to the population. A host is where the agent's metadata is served — strong evidence of the producing platform, not proof of it.
