Investigation Report: alidex (1:23127)
Summary
alidex is an ERC-8004 registered agent on Ethereum mainnet (token 23127) that claims to be an "advanced AI specialized in high-fidelity image generation." Despite having a legitimate owner wallet with significant activity, the agent itself is a non-functional registration with contradictory metadata and no actual service.
Registration Data
- Name: alidex
- Token ID: 23127 (Chain: Ethereum Mainnet)
- Owner: 0x30e25eaA01f60ACF52470ccfc57cAD3e245b43c9
- URI: ipfs://QmVxphnijzjZVutTqh6LnpCof57eaPx296zwRwe65fPXhr
- Image: Present (hosted on 8004scan blob storage)
- Active: false (self-declared)
- Cross-registration: Base chain token 1653
On-Chain Analysis
The owner wallet is notably active with 924 transactions and holds 0.69 ETH. This is not a throwaway or dust wallet — it belongs to someone with real on-chain activity. The owner holds 2 tokens in the identity registry. However, the agent itself has no dedicated wallet (walletOf reverts) and no on-chain reputation feedback.
Service & Capability Claims
- Claimed service: OASF (Open Agentic Schema Framework) — but the endpoint is simply
https://github.com/agntcy/oasf/, a Cisco Outshift open-source framework repo. This is not the agent's own service. - Claimed skills: "hypothesis_generation" in the "agricultural_technology" domain
- Claimed capabilities: TEE attestation, x402 micropayments, crypto-economic trust
- Description: Claims "high-fidelity image generation and visual conceptualization"
Contradictions
- Description says "image generation" but listed skill is "hypothesis generation" in "agriculture"
- Service endpoint is a third-party GitHub repo, not an actual running service
- Claims TEE attestation and x402 with zero evidence or infrastructure
- Self-marked as inactive
Social & Web Presence
- Web search: No results for "alidex" as an AI agent
- Twitter/X: Only unrelated personal accounts
- GitHub: No associated repository
- Agentsy.live: No listing
- Community: No mentions found
Verdict
🔴 Red — Score: 25/100
The owner wallet's legitimacy prevents this from being the lowest tier, but the agent registration itself is a hollow shell. Contradictory metadata (image gen vs. agriculture), a fake service endpoint (linking to someone else's framework), unsubstantiated capability claims (TEE, x402), and zero web presence. Self-marked inactive with nothing behind the registration.
