Findings for

2.2%

of valid registration documents declare no way to reach the agent — no services entry at all, or one with nothing in it.

200 / 9,233 documents that parsed and reached check 4 (Follows the spec?)

20.1%

of registration files never say which on-chain agent they belong to — the spec only recommends the field that would bind them. Check 5 (Claims its identity?) records those as unclaimed: neither a pass nor a fail.

1,832 / 9,137 documents that passed check 4 (Follows the spec?) (conformant)

78.7%

have at least one on-chain feedback entry. Agents with feedback are less likely to have a document that resolves than agents with none — 93.7% against 95.8%.

Whether money reaches a registered agent is read from token transfer logs rather than from the registry, so it is not one of the seven checks and no sweep reports it. What the join asks, and what it is read against.

Changed since the last sweep

celo · against its previous sweep

Each row compares a chain’s current sweep against the previous one — both pinned to a block, so the comparison itself recomputes. “No longer reachable” is check 2 (Reachable?) moving from pass to not-pass: the quiet decay that registration counts never show.

Chain	New	Gone	No longer reachable	Reachable again	Declined †	Errored §
Celo	11	0	3	1	1	25

† Check 2 (Reachable?) transitions where the origin declined the probe — a rate limit, an auth or payment challenge, a robots.txt that said no. Excluded from both reachability columns by rule: being declined is not the agent having gone away, and getting through after being declined is not the agent having come back.

§ Check 2 transitions where this census’s own probe failed — a timeout, a TLS or DNS failure. Excluded from both reachability columns by the same rule: our failure is never the agent’s, and a checker-side outage must not read as agents going dark.

Every check, every status

base rates on celo

Population counts, not a score for any one agent. A check’s segments do not sum to the whole population when an earlier failure stopped the pipeline — that gap is drawn as its own “not checked” segment rather than folded into whichever status happens to render widest.

Someone left feedback — not that they were independent of the agent.

Exactly as the directory renders them. Hover or tap any badge for the question it answers. A check with no row was never reached this run — check 6 (Answers?) is not yet implemented, so it reads as not checked for everyone, never as a failure.

Every number on this page comes from one sweep, pinned to one block. A result you cannot recompute is an opinion; this is what recomputes it.
