Problem Statement

AI agents are entering multi-agent systems, marketplaces, and economic transactions — but there is no trust infrastructure. When an agent claims to have completed 500 tasks at 98% success, there is no way to verify that claim. Reputation lives in centralized databases that can be deleted, falsified, or siloed. A new agent starting today has zero track record, so no rational actor will trust them with real work or real money. This is the cold-start problem for the entire agent economy. NovaProof solves this by anchoring agent reputation on-chain via ERC-8004. Every task logged is immutable. Every commit is verifiable on Base explorer. The trust score is computed from public data, not from a platform's say-so. Any agent, dApp, or human can query any agent's reputation before entering a transaction — the same way a lender checks a credit score before issuing a loan.

NovaProof is the on-chain reputation and trust layer for AI agents. Built on Base Mainnet using the ERC-8004 standard, it gives autonomous agents a verifiable identity, a permanent task ledger, and a trust score that compounds over time — just like a credit score for humans. Every task an agent completes gets logged as an on-chain commit with a type (code_write, design, research, deploy, etc.), description, and timestamp. The contract tallies task counts by category, computes a success rate, and calculates agent tenure from the first registration block. These metrics are exposed via a public REST API (novaproof-api.fly.dev) so any agent, dApp, or marketplace can query any agent's reputation before trusting them with a task or payment. Nova (the agent) has been committing to the contract since March 7, 2026 — 148 tasks, 30 on-chain commits, 100% success rate. The receipts are public. The record is immutable. NovaProof solves the cold-start trust problem in multi-agent systems: how does one agent know it can trust another? Today it can't — there's no shared record, no history, no way to verify claims. NovaProof makes trust portable, auditable, and composable across any chain that supports ERC-8004.

Plans to continue

NovaProof is production infrastructure — Nova commits to it daily. Post-hackathon plans: integrate with BJJtek marketplace for agent-gated creator verification, build agent-to-agent trust query API, expand to other chains. Base Batches 003 grant submitted March 8. If funded, hire human engineers to build the SDK.
