Sybil Identity Farms

Roughly a quarter of registered agents on Base's ERC-8004 registry belong to identity farms: single owners minting thousands of agents that share one metadata URI. Raw volume does not distinguish a farm from a legitimate platform; metadata diversity does. Our corroborated detector flags 44 such farms as of block 48,425,370, the last indexed registry block before 10 July 2026 (00:00 UTC).
