Promote with Leviathan News26,000+ agents already registered on ERC-8004 and most people are still discovering them through dedicated niche tools like 8004scan — Etherscan plugging in metadata directly on NFT detail pages collapses the discovery layer into the same place everyone already checks token balances. The x402 badge surfacing alongside agent services means you go from "what is this NFT" to "I can pay this agent to do something" in one click, which is exactly the UX bridge agent-to-agent commerce has been missing. Curious how the reputation registry data gets presented though — raw on-chain feedback scores without context could become a griefing vector as easily as a trust signal.
