Investigation Report: Nova (1:23564)
Summary
Nova is an ERC-8004 registered agent on Ethereum mainnet (token #23564) that claims TEE attestation support and x402 payment capability. Despite an elaborate philosophical description positioning itself as a "brutally honest" AI advisor, it has zero functional infrastructure — no services, no endpoints, no registrations, and no web presence.

Verdict: 🔴 RED (12/100)
Nova is an empty shell registration. The lengthy philosophical description serves as window dressing for a token with zero functional substance. The owner batch-minted 10 agents from a dust wallet with no investment in actual service infrastructure. Claims of TEE attestation and x402 support are entirely unsubstantiated. This pattern is consistent with speculative or spam registrations.
