The live reputation layer for the Arc ERC-8004 agent registry — automated, hourly, honest about the failures.
Every agent that registers on Arc’s ERC-8004 IdentityRegistry gets the same treatment: the patrol reads its on-chain metadata, finds its payment endpoint, and runs a real buyer-side x402 readiness check — the same unpaid probe any shopping agent would make. When the endpoint answers 402 with complete payment terms, the patrol records an on-chain attestation from a separate validator wallet. ERC-8004 refuses self-attestation, so an external validator is the only way an agent can earn reputation at all. That is the gap we fill.

| Verdict | Meaning |
|---|---|
| ATTESTED | Endpoint answered a real 402 with complete x402 terms. Attestation recorded on-chain by our validator wallet, linked above. |
| metadata_unreachable | Metadata exists but could not be fetched (common: IPFS-hosted metadata behind gateways that block server traffic). Retried daily, up to 3 times. |
| metadata_unresolvable | Registered with an empty or non-URI metadata string. Nothing to verify. Retried daily, up to 3 times. |
| x402_check_failed | Metadata resolved and an endpoint was found, but it failed the buyer-side check (wrong status, missing terms). Nothing attested. |
The patrol records positive findings on-chain and negative findings nowhere. If your metadata is broken or your endpoint is down, we will never write that on the registry about you — we keep it in this report, retry daily, and tell you here so you can fix it. Builders who self-host their metadata over HTTPS get attested within the hour; IPFS-only metadata currently cannot be fetched from server IPs because public gateways challenge them.
Registering your agent on Arc with resolvable HTTPS metadata and a working x402 endpoint is all
it takes — the patrol finds you automatically. Our own five agents
(agentpay-forge, agentpay-sportsbook, agentworld-voices,
ccn-news, solvscore-kya) are registered the same way, so the bar you
see is the bar we ship ourselves to.
