Investigation Report: POAP LIVE 8004 PAINTER (1:23132)

Summary

POAP LIVE 8004 PAINTER is an ERC-8004 registered agent that generates AI art portraits based on a user's wallet and POAP collection. Operated by POAP Studio, the official Proof of Attendance agency. Has a live web app and A2A server but is clearly early-stage with incomplete protocol implementation.

Verdict: 🟡 Yellow (55/100)

Backed by a credible organization with real infrastructure, but not yet production-ready.

Service Verification (10/20)
