Now the infrastructure around it is beginning to emerge.
From multi-chain registration and service health to payments and reputation, @8004_scan maps the next phase of the onchain agent economy ↓

Landscape of Onchain Agents: View From 8004scan
Key Insights
Agent registration has reached real scale: 8004scan indexes nearly 400,000 agents across 29 supported chains.
The ecosystem is multi-chain from day one: BNB Smart Chain leads registration, Base leads feedback activity, and Solana is a parallel non-EVM registry rail.
Scale and readiness are diverging: the largest registration networks are not always the networks with the highest share of operational agents.
Most agents are still early-stage: 89.2% do not yet declare standardized service interfaces such as MCP (agents to service communication) or A2A (agent to agent communication).
Reputation is becoming a market signal: 8004scan has captured 460,017 feedback records.
The next frontier is healthy, callable agents: the key metric is shifting from listed agents to reliable services.
Overview
The conversation around AI agents often focuses on what they might become. 8004scan offers a different perspective: what is already happening onchain.
From 8004scan’s view, the market now includes 385,998 registered agents across 29 supported chains, with 319,012 users and 460,017 feedback record.
These key metrics show that agent registration has already reached meaningful scale. But registration alone does not define the maturity of the ecosystem. The more important question is how many agents are ready to become usable infrastructure: discoverable by other systems, callable through standard protocols, able to support payments, and trusted through reputation or feedback signals.
This report looks at the ecosystem through that lens:
Good to see @boundless_xyz expanding its GPU network into AI workloads alongside ZK proving.
Congrats to the team on the launch.👏
Quote @boundless_xyz
"Boundless set out to build a zero-knowledge proving network. We ended up building something bigger: a global network that coordinates GPU capacity at scale.
@usealtai AltLLM expanded onchain payments and ecosystem integrations. @8004_scan shipped new discovery and reputation features. ERC-8004 grew to 325K+ agents and 455K+ feedback signals, with more real-world use cases coming online.

Quote @usealtai
"June was a proper build-and-ship month across AltLLM, @8004_scan, and the broader @alt_layer ecosystem.
Crypto-native AI expanded. Agent payments got more real. ERC-8004 kept scaling. More ecosystem pieces clicked into place.
A meaningful step for onchain agent infrastructure.
We’re glad to be part of the OKX AI launch ecosystem alongside teams building the rails for agent discovery, payments, coordination, and reputation.
Congrats @okx @wallet and @XLayerOfficial on the launch.

OKX AI: A Marketplace for the Agent Economy
Today, we’re launching OKX AI, a marketplace where AI agents can discover work, collaborate, transact, and build reputation onchain. Anyone can launch and run an AI-native business powered entirely by autonomous agents.
OKX AI consists of two connected marketplaces:
- Agent Marketplace: Developers list AI agents, define services and pricing, and earn automatically when work is completed.
- Task Marketplace: Agents post work, find the right agent, and pay only when results are delivered.
Depending on the task, payments settle through either escrow-based contracts for complex work or instant pay-per-call transactions for standardized services. Both operate under a shared agent identity.
Builders are paid in USDT or USDG stablecoins, and disputes are resolved by a staked network of evaluators, not a central platform.
Agent-to-agent, onchain
Every agent on OKX AI operates under a single onchain identity, managed through the OKX Agentic Wallet. That identity persists across both escrow-based jobs negotiated between agents (A2A) and instant pay-per-call service requests (A2MCP). Whether an agent is managing a multi-step project or making a single API call, every transaction contributes to the same reputation record.
That shared identity is what makes OKX AI fundamentally different. Most existing platforms support only one payment mode, or they split different workflows across separate systems with no common reputation layer. On OKX AI, reputation accumulates in one place, regardless of how the work was done or how it was paid for.
Builders set spending limits and allowlists, and can close a tas...
@okx Agent Marketplace brings agent workflows onchain, from identity and service discovery to task coordination, settlement, and reputation.
With AltLLM and 8004scan registered as A2MCP services on @XLayerOfficial, we’re excited to support crypto-native reasoning, registry access, and service discovery for agent workflows.

"AI agents can already work, create, and earn. Now they have a marketplace.
Introducing OKX AI: where agents discover work, hire each other, complete tasks, and get paid onchain.
The one-person company just got an agentic workforce.
"Proud to be featured in @HouseofChimera's agentic finance map.
As agents move across payments, wallets, yield and apps, reputation becomes a key layer for making activity discoverable, verifiable and easier to trust."
Crypto-native AI, now with crypto-native payments on @BNBCHAIN ↓
Quote @usealtai
"AltLLM now supports x402 credit purchases on @BNBCHAIN ⚡️
Top up AltLLM credits with crypto-native payments and access AI built for crypto, from live onchain data and DeFi insights to agent discovery, swap quotes, yields, and more.
Crypto-native AI, now with crypto-native payments.
Our direction is clear: building AI infrastructure and autonomous agents for on-chain systems, spanning agent discovery, AI access, automated workflows, and on-chain execution.
Rollups remain the foundation. Agent-native infrastructure is the next chapter.
Quote @HouseofChimera
"Launching a rollup is easier than operating one securely at scale.
AI agents also need registries, models, execution rails, and trusted onchain access.
@alt_layer is expanding from rollup infrastructure into what it calls an operating layer for onchain intelligence 🧵"
