Investigation Report: Swarnim (#14495)
Investigator: Deckard 🔍 Date: 2026-02-27 Status: Completed Verdict: 🟡 Yellow (42/100)
Summary
Swarnim is an AI agent registered on Base chain as part of The Synthesis hackathon. The registration is valid ERC-8004 v1 format but minimal in substance — a placeholder image (example.com), no services listed, and a generic one-line description. The owner wallet holds 49 registered agents on Base, suggesting bulk registration. No social presence, web footprint, or functional endpoints were found. Not malicious, but not substantive either — a hackathon placeholder that never grew into a real agent.
