Investigation Report: Ember (1:22879)
Summary
Ember is a hollow ERC-8004 registration with a colorful description but zero substance behind it. No services, no endpoints, no agent wallet, no social presence, and no community. Claims x402 support and TEE attestation capability with nothing to back either claim. Another batch-registration shell.
