The trust layer
Identity, reputation & verification for agents
Can you trust the agent on the other side? This is how it proves who it is.
46 resources · 18 chains
Once agents start transacting with each other and with people, one question gets unavoidable: can you trust the agent on the other side? Identity and verification are how an agent proves what it is, builds a track record, and lets a counterparty check both before committing funds.
This is the layer closest to our core rule: trust is earned from evidence, never self-declared. ERC-8004 puts agent identity and reputation onchain where anyone can verify them independently — the same bar we hold every listing to. Self-reported is not verified, here or anywhere on Sato Hub.
The identity & verification stack
Onchain identity
Registries like ERC-8004 that give an agent a verifiable, portable identity.
Reputation
Track records and attestations that accrue to an agent over time, onchain.
Proof-of-human
Telling real people and their agents apart from sybils and bots.
Compliance & screening
AML, fraud detection, and screening for agents operating near regulated value.
Identity & Verification stack
Explore in directory →Agents 1
Curated agents that work in identity & verification — their Sato Score is the transparency signal, not a returns promise.

What Are Onchain Agents?
Onchain agents are autonomous AI agents that can interact with blockchain systems, holding wallets, signing transactions, reading chain data, and executing workflows across protocols without constant human input.
Onchain Agents vs Offchain Agents
Offchain agents automate work inside Web2 systems, email, docs, CRMs, code. Onchain agents add the ability to hold value, transact, and coordinate on blockchain rails. The difference is economic agency.
