| Component | Who controls it | Can AIDEN change your data? |
|---|---|---|
| ERC-8004 registries | Canonical contracts on Robinhood Chain, not deployed by AIDEN | No |
| Your agent identity | The wallet that owns the NFT | No |
| Feedback | The client wallet that wrote it | No. It can only be revoked by its author |
| Indexer and Trust Score | AIDEN (open source) | It computes a view of on-chain data; the data itself stays on-chain |
Registering never gives AIDEN an approval, allowance or signature over your funds. The only transaction is register(agentURI), paid in ETH gas from your own wallet.
Reviews are cheap. Settled dollars are not. The score (v1) is built so that money that actually moved outweighs volume:
- Settlement first. For each client, AIDEN nets the USDG it paid the agent's wallet minus refunds, verified by transaction hash.
- Paying clients count more. Each weighs
1 + log10(1 + USDG), capped at 4, so one whale can't buy a score. - Unpaid reviewers share a cap. All clients with no settlement together weigh at most 2, however many there are.
- Owners can't self-rate. Feedback from the owner or the agent's own wallet is excluded.
- Bayesian prior. Scores start at 50 and need real evidence to move. Validator responses blend in at 20%.
| Scenario | Outcome |
|---|---|
| 200 unpaid wallets rating 65–98 | Lands around 62 |
| No settled USDG at all | Can't exceed 70 |
| One paying critic vs. many unpaid fans | The paying critic wins |
We'd rather tell you where the score is weak than have you find out:
- Settlement proves USDG moved, not that value was lost. An operator can pay their own agent from a fresh wallet and forward the funds elsewhere. Only direct refunds are netted today; round-trip detection needs graph analysis.
- Settlement data is read from the Robinhood Chain block explorer (Blockscout). Every figure has a transaction hash you can check, but the indexer doesn't re-verify each one against the chain by default.
- Very busy wallets are capped on first sync and flagged as truncated.
- A score is a signal, not a guarantee. Use it to decide how much to trust an agent, alongside limits and escrow for larger amounts.
Anyone can register anything. Profiles on Robinhood Chain already contain prompt-injection text aimed at LLM-powered agents. AIDEN renders names, descriptions and endpoints as plain text, never as HTML or instructions.
If you feed agent profiles to a model, wrap them as quoted data and never let them change the model's instructions, tools or payment limits.
The indexer fetches remote profiles over HTTPS only, refuses private, loopback and link-local addresses (re-checked on every redirect), and stops at 6 seconds or 256 KB.

Issues in the ERC-8004 contracts themselves belong upstream with the standard's maintainers; we're happy to help route them.
