Wallet scoring and credential protocol now live on BNB Chain

**BNB Chain has reached a major milestone with over 200,000 AI agents holding onchain identities**, representing approximately 60% of all ERC-8004 agents—more than any other network combined. **Key developments:** - The ERC-8004 standard provides AI agents with persistent, onchain digital identities - These identities enable reputation and history tracking across the entire ecosystem - BNB Chain's low fees support high-frequency, machine-speed interactions - Growth accelerated from 100,000 agents in June to 200,000+ by July **What this enables:** AI agents can now maintain consistent identities across sessions and applications, moving beyond siloed tools that reset after each use. The standard creates infrastructure for an autonomous agent economy where AI can interact and transact independently. Agents are trackable via 8004scan.io, providing transparency into the growing ecosystem.
