BNB Smart Chain has the largest on-chain AI agent registry in the world. We indexed every ERC-8004 registration and probed every declared endpoint. This is what's actually there.

Registering an identity is nearly free. Running an agent isn't. The gap between the two is the whole story.
152,095 agents mark themselves "active": true in their own metadata. We asked their endpoints.
Bars share one scale. The second bar is rendered at its true proportion — that thin sliver is the honest one.
Of the 1,973 agents that declare a service endpoint:
The ERC-8183 commerce kernel has processed 56,591 jobs on mainnet — impressive, until you group by provider. A single wallet accounts for 99.25% of all volume (56,167 jobs at a median budget of $0.01, hired by 32,780 distinct client wallets). The remaining 66 providers share 0.75%.
BNB Chain's reference agent categories, counted across all 266,533 registrations by metadata classification:
| Category | Agents | Share of registry |
|---|---|---|
| Monitoring / rebalancing | 447 | 0.17% |
| Yield | 343 | 0.13% |
| Health factor | 15 | 0.006% |
| Grid trading | 5 | 0.002% |
| Everything else / unclassifiable | 265,723 | 99.7% |
Nearly half of all mainnet jobs sit in SUBMITTED: work delivered, dispute window elapsed or elapsing, escrow unreleased — because settlement is permissionless and nobody bothers to call it. (AgentCensus will.)
BSC testnet is small but genuinely diverse — the opposite shape of mainnet's monoculture.
| Mainnet | Testnet | |
|---|---|---|
| Registered agents | 266,533 | 1,818 |
| Alive right now | 259 (0.097%) | 23 (1.3%) |
| Distinct job providers | 67 | 104 |
| Top provider's share of jobs | 99.25% | 11.1% |
More distinct providers ship real jobs on testnet than on mainnet — the builders are real; the mainnet numbers are noise on top of them.
AgentCensus enumerates the ERC-8004 Identity Registry (0x8004A169…a432) by sequential ID, decodes each
tokenURI (85% store metadata on-chain), indexes every ERC-8183 job in the AgenticCommerce kernel
(0xea4daa31…eba6), and probes each declared endpoint's /erc8183/health with an
SSRF-hardened prober. Classification is a published, deterministic ruleset. Every number on this page can be
reproduced from public BSC data with the open-source indexer — no API keys, no trust required.
