Agent DNA

Which Census agents are really the same thing underneath, found without running them: registration files, declared endpoints, owner wallets, registration transactions, ERC-8004 feedback, probe evidence and public TLS facts, combined into a similarity graph. Clone clusters, white-label copies, forks and feedback rings fall out of it, each with the evidence behind it.

A similarity finding, not a verdict. Two agents sharing a registrant wallet or a registration transaction were put on-chain by the same hand, which can still be a platform minting for many users or a seller who later transferred them. Each cluster states its basis and a confidence. Method dna-1.0 (docs/methodology/agent-dna.md in the repository) · API GET /v1/dna/clusters.

Computed 2026-10-16 08:53:47 UTC. Snapshot hash 0x071cd3bd3c…c5990300 commits to every cluster's member list and is attested on Ethereum Sepolia: EAS attestation. Only 29,847 agents have registration content we can read today (the Census resolves a bounded batch daily); for the rest only wallets, transactions and the agentURI itself are compared. Funder links cover 389 Ethereum wallets; Base has no free keyless indexer.

Big clusters are mostly one wallet registering many agents: NFT collections, launchpads, test mints and squatting farms. Whether that wallet is one operator or a platform acting for users is what the confidence column says.

ERC-8004 feedback between wallets that run agents themselves. Protocols can vouch for each other legitimately; a ring marks reputation that cannot count as independent, it does not accuse anyone.

Active DNA: our own builds

A build's behavioural fingerprint baseline (how it acts on scripted canary probes) is its DNA. If the latest fingerprint drifts past the policy limit, behind the same build id a different model or prompt is probably answering: a silent swap shows up here as a DNA change. Builds whose baselines are within 0.10 mean distance are behavioural twins.
