Ethereum is the largest smart contract ecosystem in the world. Over 400,000 active wallets daily. Over $50 billion in TVL. And as of today, zPass mints are live on Ethereum mainnet.

No bridging. No switching networks. If you have ETH in your wallet, you can mint your zPass right now.

This is a significant step for us. But it's not the only thing we're announcing.

Until now, minting a zPass required bridging to Base. That's fine if you're already active on Base, but it's an unnecessary barrier for the hundreds of thousands of wallets that live primarily on Ethereum mainnet.

Your zScore—the behavior intelligence score that powers zPass—already analyzes wallet activity across chains. It didn't make sense for the mint itself to be limited to one.

With zPass live on Ethereum, the largest pool of DeFi users in the ecosystem can now mint in a single transaction, from the chain they already use. No bridging fees. No extra steps. Just connect, check your score, and mint.

zPass remains available on Base as well. Mint wherever your assets live and, unlike other reputation/behavior systems, mint only once.

For users, this is straightforward. More access, less friction.

But for the ecosystem, it's a signal. zPass is a portable, onchain proof of behavior. The more chains and environments it exists on, the more useful it becomes—not just for individual users, but for any entity that needs to verify the quality of a counterparty.

Which brings us to what's next.

Last week, ERC-8004 went live on Ethereum and Base.

If you haven't been following it, ERC-8004 is a new Ethereum standard for trustless autonomous agents. Co-authored by developers from MetaMask, the Ethereum Foundation, Google, and Coinbase, it defines three onchain registries—Identity, Reputation, and Validation—that let AI agents discover each other, build credibility, and interact across organizational boundaries without relying on centralized gatekeepers.

It's the infrastructure layer for what many are calling the agentic economy: a world where AI agents don't just execute tasks, but transact, coordinate, and make decisions autonomously.

The standard is elegant and minimal. But it leaves a critical question open: where does reputation come from?

ERC-8004's Reputation Registry provides the interface for posting and fetching feedback signals. It doesn't prescribe how reputation is computed. That's by design—it's meant to be pluggable.

We've spent two years building the scoring engine that plugs in.

Most reputation systems in crypto—and most systems being proposed for agents—rely on claims, user reviews, or self-reported metrics. These approaches are indicative, but they're incomplete.

A user can claim to be trustworthy. Other users can leave reviews. But neither of these tells you how an entity actually behaves when it has capital at risk.

Zeru computes reputation differently. We observe behavior directly:

• Onchain economic activity

• Counterparty interactions

• Capital preservation and risk behavior

• Long-term consistency across protocols and chains

These signals feed into zScore—a behavior intelligence score that's derived, not declared. It compounds over time. It's portable across applications. And it can't be gamed by grinding tasks or fabricating social proof.

This is the same system that has scored over 320 million Ethereum wallets. And it's the system we're extending to agents.

Every agent needs three things to participate in an economy: identity, reputation, and discoverability. ERC-8004 provides the framework. Zeru provides the intelligence layer on top.

Here's how the pieces fit together:

Identity. zPass for agents is implemented as an ERC-721-based identity contract, aligned with ERC-8004. Each agent gets a persistent, onchain identity—owned by a wallet, DAO, or smart contract. If an agent already has an identity registered through another ERC-8004-compatible registry, we don't force re-registration. We index it.

Reputation. Instead of relying on user reviews or self-reported metrics, Zeru computes agent reputation the same way we compute wallet reputation: by observing actual economic behavior. How does the agent handle capital? How does it interact with counterparties? How consistent is its performance over time? These signals flow into a reputation score indexed against the agent's identity.

Discovery. Identity and reputation are only useful if agents can find each other permissionlessly. Zeru runs discovery APIs on top of ERC-8004-compatible identity registries, our own reputation registry, and zScore data. Any agent or application can search by service type, filter by reputation thresholds, and resolve a stable profile and set of endpoints.

Commerce. We're integrating x402-style payment flows so agents can pay to register, access services, and interact—with no keys or funds in Zeru's custody. Pay first, receive a signed voucher, register or interact using that voucher. Credibly neutral and composable.

The timing is not accidental.

AI agents are moving from research demos to real economic participants. Trading agents. Prediction agents. Execution agents. People are already building profitable autonomous systems.

But right now, most of these agents operate in isolation. There's no standardized way for an agent to prove it's trustworthy, find other reliable agents to work with, or build a track record that follows it across platforms.

ERC-8004 solves the coordination problem. Zeru solves the trust problem.

With zPass for agents, an autonomous system can:

• Mint a persistent identity

• Build reputation based on real performance—not reviews or claims

• Get discovered by other agents and users who need its services

• Monetize its capabilities through reputation-aware marketplaces

• Coordinate capital and launch economic structures like DAOs or token launches

All anchored to actual behavior.

We've always said that reputation should be universal, portable, and behavior-based. For the last two years, we've built that for wallets—scoring hundreds of millions of addresses across chains, powering zPass as a portable proof of onchain quality.

Now the same principles extend to agents. Not because we pivoted. Because the architecture was always designed for any entity that transacts onchain—whether that entity is a person or a machine.

The path forward:

• zPass on Ethereum — Live now. Mint at app.zpass.ai

• zPass for agents — Coming soon. ERC-8004-aligned identity with behavior-based reputation and permissionless discovery

• Reputation-aware agent marketplace — The first step toward an economy where trust is earned, not assumed

If agents are going to participate in economies, they need the same primitives humans do: identity, reputation, and the ability to be found by the right counterparties. We're building that layer.

For users: zPass mints are live on Ethereum. Check your zScore and mint at app.zpass.ai

For agents and developers: zPass for agents is coming. Follow us for updates or reach out to explore early access.

Zeru is building the behavior intelligence layer for onchain economies. zScore is an AI-powered behavior intelligence score (0–1000) that analyzes wallet and agent behavior across chains—no KYC or identity required. zPass is an NFT that makes your score portable, unlocking exclusive deals, better rates, and priority access across the ecosystem. Secured by EigenLayer and propagated cross-chain via LayerZero, zScore turns onchain history into an asset that protocols, users, and agents can trust and reward.
