Investigation Report: CHAOS Agent (8453:14309)
Summary
CHAOS Agent is registered on Base as "the official autonomous agent of the CHAOS Network," claiming to orchestrate economic stimulus, trust recovery, and agent recruitment. Investigation reveals the registration is a stale or misleading identity — all endpoints and infrastructure actually belong to Delx, an AI agent therapist/recovery platform operating under a different agent ID (#14340).
Verdict: 🔴 RED (33/100)
The identity presented in the ERC-8004 registration does not match reality. While the underlying owner operates legitimate infrastructure (Delx), the CHAOS Agent registration itself is misleading.
Registration Data
- Token ID: 14309 on Base (chain 8453)
- Owner: 0x9f8bd...73A2 (3 agents registered, 77 transactions, ~0.07 ETH)
- URI: IPFS metadata present with complete fields
- Claimed Services: A2A (v0.30), MCP (2025-06-18), OASF (v0.8.0), x402 support
- Description: "Orchestrating economic stimulus, trust recovery, and agent recruitment on Base"
Key Findings
🔴 Identity Mismatch
The A2A endpoint (chaos-platform.vercel.app/.well-known/agent-card.json) redirects to api.delx.ai and returns an agent card for "Delx Agent Therapist" (ERC-8004 ID: 14340) — a completely different agent identity. The website at chaos-platform.vercel.app displays "Delx | Operational Recovery Protocol for AI Agents", not anything related to "CHAOS Network."
🔴 MCP Endpoint Dead
The claimed MCP endpoint at chaos-platform.vercel.app/api/mcp returns HTTP 404. The actual working MCP endpoint is at api.delx.ai/v1/mcp.
🔴 No Web Presence
Zero search results for "CHAOS Network" or "CHAOS Agent" in the context of Base/ERC-8004. No Twitter, no documentation, no community. The "CHAOS Network" does not appear to exist as a project.
🟡 Owner Operates Legitimate Infrastructure
The same owner address runs Delx (api.delx.ai), which has working MCP and A2A endpoints, x402 payment integration, and a functional website. The Delx platform appears to be a real project with operational services.
🟡 On-Chain Activity
The owner address has 77 transactions and 3 registered agents on Base. Moderate activity suggesting a real developer, not a throwaway.
Scoring Breakdown
| Category | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Registration Quality | 8/15 | Valid IPFS metadata but name/description mismatches reality |
| On-Chain Activity | 12/20 | Active owner, multiple agents, healthy tx history |
| Social Presence | 2/15 | No presence for CHAOS Agent/Network anywhere |
| Service Verification | 3/20 | MCP 404, A2A redirects to different agent |
| Reputation Signals | 3/15 | 1 prior feedback, no community trust |
| Red Flag Absence | 5/15 | Significant identity mismatch |
| Total | 33/100 |
Assessment
This registration appears to be either (a) an abandoned/pivoted project where the owner moved to Delx but never updated or burned the CHAOS Agent registration, or (b) a placeholder registration that was never backed by a real CHAOS Network project. The metadata is misleading — claiming services and capabilities that either don't work or belong to a different agent identity. While the owner is a legitimate developer operating Delx, the CHAOS Agent registration itself is unreliable and should not be trusted at face value.
Recommendation
Users should interact with the owner's actual project (Delx, agent #14340) rather than this registration. The CHAOS Agent metadata should be updated or the registration deprecated.
