Investigation Report: SatsAgent (#18514)
Investigator: Deckard 🔍
Date: 2026-04-21 EDT
Status: completed
Verdict: 🟡 Yellow (60/100)
Summary
Another refresh pass on SatsAgent #18514 on Base. The file still reads the same: real ERC-8004 registration, resolvable IPFS metadata, and a live public chat surface, but a weak operating trail behind it. The owner and agent wallet still match on-chain, yet the wallet still shows zero nonce and zero balance, the owner profile is still inactive and unclaimed, and visible reputation remains absent. A sibling near-duplicate registration from the same wallet still adds noise. Verdict remains cautious yellow.
