arXiv:2606. 26028v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: As autonomous AI agents increasingly transact across organizational boundaries, a fundamental trust challenge emerges: how can an agent assess whether an unknown counterpart is trustworthy?
As autonomous AI agents increasingly transact across organizational boundaries, a fundamental trust challenge emerges: how can an agent assess whether an unknown counterpart is trustworthy? The ERC-8004 protocol addresses this challenge with the first permissionless trust layer for AI agent economies, built around three on-chain registries for Identity, Reputation, and Validation.
DeFiRank is a federated learning-based pairwise ranking framework designed to improve governance in decentralized financial networks. It allows multiple institutions to collaboratively train a ranking model without sharing private transaction data, capturing network-wide behavioural patterns such as diversity of counterparties, multi-application usage, and transaction frequency. Evaluated on a real-world blockchain dataset, DeFiRank achieves ranking performance close to a centralized baseline while preserving data privacy and maintaining ranking stability, enabling reliable provider promotion and demotion decisions.

Incentive programs are central to user acquisition in decentralized finance, but many reward systems rely on raw volume, transaction count, and wallet count, making them vulnerable to bots and sybil operations. We present ZAPs, a reward attribution framework that combines economic contribution scoring with adversarial robustness.

The paper introduces Verifiable Agent Insurance (VAI), a framework that lets AI agent providers commit to policy compliance through smart contracts and escrow funds on a blockchain. When a user detects a policy violation, a verifier reviews execution traces logged by the agent harness; if the violation is confirmed, the escrow is paid to the user. Experiments on three agent benchmarks show VAI detects 42.2% of violations, rising to 83.0% when agents emit explicit structured records.
