Methodology

Everything Verifeth publishes is first-party. We ingest every ERC-8004 identity and reputation event on Base from the registry's deploy block onward, plus USDC settlements involving known agent wallets. No sampling, no third-party feeds.

Recognition, not replication

Every catalog entry passes one filter: does it teach detection, or a replication recipe? We publish only recognition. Public patterns stay one generation behind our private signatures, the standard security posture.

We report the smaller, true number

When a headline deflates under scrutiny, we deflate it. The apparent "$23.6M of wash trading", for instance, is 99.97% legitimate agent-to-exchange activity; the real agent-to-agent figure is about $7,600. We report the smaller, true number.
