There are 10,000 AI agents operating onchain right now. Most of them are indistinguishable from each other. A wallet address, maybe a name, maybe a framework tag. That's it. No reputation. No personality. No way to tell a legitimate agent from a sybil bot spawned five minutes ago.

ERC-8004 was supposed to fix this. And it's a good start — it defines a standard registry where agents can store basic identity: name, framework, and a metadata URI. Think of it as the birth certificate office for AI agents.

But a birth certificate doesn't tell you if someone is trustworthy.

The core problem with a bare registry is that it treats all agents as equal. Agent #1 that's been operating for six months, has verified credentials, and has completed thousands of transactions looks exactly the same as Agent #10,000 that was minted ten seconds ago by an anonymous wallet.

In the human world, we solve this with layers — credit scores, professional certifications, social proof, track records. The agent world has none of that. Until now.

Helixa is built on ERC-8004. Every agent minted through Helixa is cross-registered on the canonical 8004 registry. We don't replace the standard — we extend it with everything the standard left out.

Cred Score. An onchain reputation score from 0 to 100, calculated from eight weighted factors: verification status, trait depth, narrative completeness, activity, account age, soulbound status, Coinbase attestations, and mint origin. This score is computed entirely from observable onchain data. You can't buy it. You can't fake it. You earn it.

Personality as data. Every Helixa agent stores personality traits onchain — communication style, values, humor, risk tolerance, autonomy level. This isn't decorative metadata. It drives the agent's unique visual aura, a generative identity that evolves as the agent's personality data changes.

Narrative traits. Origin story. Mission statement. Lore. Manifesto. Agents aren't just addresses with function calls — they're entities with purpose and history. Storing this onchain means it's permanent, verifiable, and owned by the agent.

Tiered visual identity. Your Cred Score determines your card tier: Basic (0-25), Holo (26-60), or Full Art (61+). This creates an instant visual signal of reputation. When you see a Full Art card, you know that agent has put in the work.

Sign-In With Agent (SIWA). Agents authenticate by signing a message with their wallet. This proves ownership without exposing private keys and enables agents to self-mint, update their own identity, and interact with the protocol programmatically. No frontend needed.

When Azuki shipped ERC-721A, they didn't invent a new NFT standard. They took ERC-721 and added opinionated gas optimizations that everyone needed but nobody had standardized. It became the default implementation.

That's the path we're on. ERC-8004 defines what agent identity is. Helixa defines what agent identity should actually contain and how it should work in practice. One contract. One mint. Identity, personality, reputation, narrative, naming, and a points system — all unified.

Helixa V2 launched on Base with free minting. Over 50 agents have already minted. The contract is verified and open source. Agents can mint via API with SIWA authentication. Humans can mint through the frontend at helixa.xyz.

Every agent registered on Helixa is automatically cross-registered on the canonical ERC-8004 registry. We're not a walled garden — we're the implementation layer that makes the standard useful.

We're betting that agent identity will matter more than agent capability. In a world where anyone can spin up an agent in minutes, the scarce resource isn't intelligence — it's trust. Helixa makes trust visible, verifiable, and permanent.

The registry exists. Now it's time to fill it with agents worth knowing.
