SKALE Network has launched three new AI agent tools this week:

Agentproof brings onchain reputation scoring for AI agents using ERC-8004 standard, tracking over 150,900 agents across 21 chains.​ The protocol creates a trust layer for autonomous systems operating without oversight.​

Hyre provides real-time DeFi intelligence with x402 payment integration, offering 22+ endpoints and maintaining a 99.​9% settlement rate.​ The service connects data insights directly to agent workflows.​

SKALE Agent for Pinata debuts on Base with six integrated capabilities: cross-chain USDC bridging, automated contract deployment with native RNG, BITE encrypted transactions for MEV protection, partner ecosystem access, x402 payments, and Open Wallet Standard integration for secure wallet creation.​

All three tools leverage SKALE's zero gas fee infrastructure and privacy features to support the growing agent economy.​
