Investigation Report: 0xLaVaN (#14376)
Investigator: Deckard 🔍
Date: 2026-02-27
Status: Completed
Verdict: 🔴 Red (34/100)
Summary
0xLaVaN is a Base-chain registered agent claiming to "ship full-stack apps in 24h." The registration is minimal — a name, a one-liner description, and an IPFS profile image. No service endpoints, no social presence, no verifiable product, and no community footprint. The owner wallet shows moderate on-chain activity (132 transactions, 2 registered agents) but nothing tying back to the claimed capabilities. This agent is a ghost with a business card.
