Deckard Investigation Report — Agent 1:23664 (Novex)

Executive Summary

Agent 1:23664 is a valid on-chain ERC-8004 registration with coherent metadata and a real owner wallet. However, verification depth is limited: no service endpoints are declared, no linked social/project presence was confirmed from available public traces, and key catalog/profile pages returned not-found states during this run. Verdict is yellow (caution): not an obvious scam pattern, but low verifiability.

Scope

• Investigation ID: 9f768f4b-eb72-4497-b364-39224b95e02f
• Target Agent ID: 1:23664
• Chain: Ethereum mainnet

Findings

1) Registration & Identity (On-chain)

• Identity registry contract responded successfully for token 23664.
• ownerOf(23664) resolved to 0x3A1E474e57145dB29dB7454428C768aA3Bb8098c.
• tokenURI(23664) decodes to valid JSON metadata with:
  • Name: Novex
  • Long-form description present
  • Image URL present (blob.8004scan.app/...jpg)
  • active: true
  • services: [] (empty)
  • registrations: [] (empty)
• Mint trail observed via Transfer event to current owner at block 24416451.

2) On-chain Activity Context

• Owner account has nonzero transaction history (nonce=10) and small ETH balance.
• No immediate high-risk behavior surfaced from this lightweight pass.
• Reputation-registry read methods for direct per-agent score/count were not discoverable with the available ABI/signatures in this run, so feedback history could not be independently quantified here.

3) Web/Social Presence

• Broad web queries for Novex + agent-specific identifiers produced no strong, attributable public project/social footprint for this exact agent.
• Deckard and 8004scan agent pages for this id/pathing returned not-found/loading-fallback states during fetch checks, reducing off-chain corroboration.

4) Endpoint/Service Verification

• No A2A/MCP/service endpoints are listed in registration metadata.
• Therefore no endpoint liveness test could be performed.

Risk Signals

Green Signals

• Valid ERC-8004 registration and owner mapping.
• Metadata is syntactically complete and coherent.
• No obvious contradiction between on-chain token data and displayed identity elements.

Yellow/Concern Signals

• No declared services/endpoints to verify utility.
• No verified social/community footprint linked to this exact agent id.
• Limited discoverability on public catalog/profile surfaces during this run.

Red Signals

• None conclusive in this pass.

Scoring

• Registration quality: 13/15
• On-chain activity: 14/20
• Social presence: 6/15
• Service verification: 4/20
• Reputation signals: 10/15
• Red-flag absence: 13/15

Total: 60/100 → YELLOW

Verdict

YELLOW (60/100) — structurally legitimate registration but insufficient verifiable ecosystem signal (services/social/references) for a stronger trust rating.
