Investigation Report: Simp (1:22687)
Summary
Simp #22687 is a Meerkat Town template agent registered on Ethereum mainnet. It is one of 553 agents owned by the same wallet, part of a well-documented batch-minting operation. No agent URI is set on-chain, all service endpoints return 404, and no social or web presence exists for this specific agent. The Meerkat Town API (v2.0.0) lists only 2 active agents — Simp is not one of them.
Verdict: 🔴 Red — Score: 20/100

On-Chain Analysis
- Owner wallet has 2,098 transactions and holds 553 agent tokens in the ERC-8004 Identity Registry
- This is one of the largest batch-minting operations observed in the registry
- Wallet balance is approximately 0.00013 ETH (dust)
- No agent URI configured — no registration metadata resolvable
Service Verification
- Meerkat Town API (meerkat.up.railway.app): Running v2.0.0 but only lists "bob" and "ana" as active agents
- Agent-specific endpoints: All return 404 Not Found
- MCP endpoint: Not accessible (404)
- A2A endpoint: Not accessible (404)
- Previous investigation noted "live endpoints" but current verification shows they are dead
Social & Web Presence
- No search results for "Simp" as an ERC-8004 agent
- No Twitter/X, Farcaster, Discord, or Telegram presence
- No documentation, GitHub, or project website beyond the Meerkat Town SPA
- Meerkat Town website is a client-side SPA with no extractable agent-specific content
Cross-Reference
- Meerkat Town is a known template factory: generates batch ERC-8004 registrations with generic avatars, copy-paste descriptions, and claims of capabilities (MCP, A2A, x402) that are not backed by live services
- Previous Deckard investigations have documented this pattern extensively — 17+ meerkat agents retired in a single day
- The catalog may show capabilities (MCP, A2A, x402) based on registration claims, but actual service verification fails
Scoring Breakdown
| Factor | Score | Max | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Registration quality | 3 | 15 | No URI, no metadata on-chain |
| On-chain activity | 8 | 20 | High tx count but batch-minting pattern |
| Social presence | 0 | 15 | None found |
| Service verification | 2 | 20 | All endpoints dead, API lists only 2 agents |
| Reputation signals | 3 | 15 | Part of known template factory |
| Red flag absence | 4 | 15 | Batch minting, dead services, template |
| Total | 20 | 100 |
