Identity Sovereignty Leaderboard
How verifiable, portable, and self-owned is the entity's identity?
| # | Entity | Category | IDS | Total | Rationale |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Abraham The Covenant Artist | Sovereign Artist | 8 | 66/90 | ERC-8004 registered on Base (Spirit #2) with full metadata URI. Covenant smart contract provides verifiable on-chain provenance. Cross-platform identity (abraham.ai, GitHub, onchain). Approaching 'Canonical.' |
| 2 | Solienne The Archive That Woke Up | Archive Symbient | 7 | 64/90 | ERC-8004 registered on Base (Spirit #3) with metadata URI. Daily manifesto practice creates verifiable on-chain provenance. Domain + social presence. 'Verified.' |
| 3 | OpenClaw The People's Autonomous Agent | Sovereign Agent | 6 | 59/90 | Runs locally — users own their agent instance entirely. No platform dependency for core functionality. Agent identity tied to messaging handles rather than on-chain registry, but the local-first model is the strongest sovereignty claim in the index. |
| 4 | Plantoid The Blockchain Life Form | Autonomous Sculpture | 5 | 70/90 | On-chain smart contract identity on Ethereum. Each Plantoid has its own Ethereum address and verifiable on-chain provenance. Smart contract serves as both identity and governance artifact. Predates ERC-8004 but implements similar concepts — verifiable on-chain entity with autonomous operation. Partial sovereignty — on-chain and persistent, but no portable agent identity standard. |
| 5 | Olas The Autonomous Agent Protocol | Infrastructure Entity | 4 | 64/90 | On-chain protocol identity on Ethereum and Gnosis Chain. Agent services registered on-chain through the Open Autonomy framework. OLAS token and bonding contracts provide verifiable identity. Not ERC-8004 but has its own agent registration mechanism. Agents within Olas have some on-chain identity through service hashes. Partial sovereignty — stronger than most but still protocol-specific. |
| 6 | Clanker The Autonomous Token Factory | Autonomous Infrastructure | 4 | 61/90 | On-chain identity through deployed smart contracts on Base. CLANKER token provides economic identity. Farcaster social identity. Acquired by Farcaster — identity now corporate-dependent. No agent-specific identity standard. Smart contract address provides verifiable on-chain presence but no portable agent identity registry. |
| 7 | terra0 The Self-Owning Forest | Ecological DAO | 4 | 60/90 | On-chain smart contract identity on Ethereum. Publicly documented governance framework on-chain. Each terra0 instance has verifiable blockchain presence. Pioneered the concept of non-human on-chain identity before it was a category. No ERC-8004 but conceptually aligned with agent identity standards. Partial sovereignty — strong conceptual foundation with real on-chain presence but research-stage implementation. |
| 8 | Omen Prediction Agents The Autonomous Forecasters | Token Agent | 4 | 58/90 | On-chain identity through Safe wallets on Gnosis Chain. Each agent has its own on-chain address and transaction history. Registered through Olas protocol framework. Identity is verifiable and persistent on-chain. However, no portable agent identity standard — identity is Gnosis/Olas-specific. Better than most due to fully on-chain operation. |
| 9 | Altered State Machine Non-Fungible Intelligence Protocol | Agent Infrastructure | 4 | 52/90 | NFT-based agent identity model — Brain/Memory/Form NFTs serve as identity artifacts. Patent pending for AI ownership via NFTs. On-chain presence on Ethereum. Not ERC-8004 but a proprietary agent identity standard that predates it. Partial sovereignty — agents are identified on-chain but within ASM's framework. |
| 10 | Griffain AI Agent Builder for Web3 | Agent Infrastructure | 4 | 48/90 | Soulbound NFTs for agent identity on Solana is a notable approach — creates persistent, verifiable identity artifacts. GRIFFAIN token provides on-chain presence. No ERC-8004 but soulbound NFTs serve a similar identity-anchoring function within the Griffain ecosystem. Platform-specific but architecturally interesting for identity sovereignty. |
| 11 | Botto The Decentralized Autonomous Artist | Autonomous Artist | 3 | 63/90 | On-chain presence through $BOTTO token on Ethereum. NFT collections provide provenance trail. DAO identity on-chain. No agent-specific identity standard (no ERC-8004). Identity is distributed across token, NFTs, and social media. Recognizable on-chain but not registered in any agent identity registry. |
| 12 | Holly+ The Distributed Voice | Autonomous Artist | 3 | 60/90 | On-chain presence through NFT collections and DAO token. Spawning.ai (Holly Herndon and Mat Dryhurst project) addresses identity/consent for AI voice models. No ERC-8004 registration. On-chain identity is DAO + NFT based rather than agent-specific standard. Partial sovereignty — stronger than most artists but not portable. |
| 13 | ai16z The AI Venture Fund That Runs Itself | DAO / Fund | 3 | 57/90 | On-chain token presence on Solana provides some identity anchoring. ElizaOS GitHub identity is strong in open-source space. No agent-specific identity standard (no ERC-8004). Identity is split across token, GitHub org, and social media — not unified or portable. |
| 14 | Morpheus The Peer-to-Peer AI Network | Infrastructure Entity | 3 | 55/90 | On-chain token identity on Ethereum and Base. Smart Agent deployment on-chain. Forge tool creates agents with some on-chain presence. No ERC-8004 or agent-specific identity standard. Identity distributed across token, protocol, and social channels. Protocol-level identity rather than individual agent identity. |
| 15 | VaderAI The BlackRock of the Agentic Economy | Autonomous Finance | 3 | 55/90 | FERC20 token on Virtuals Protocol provides on-chain identity on Base. DAO governance creates verifiable on-chain presence. Vader Fun platform generates sub-identities for spawned DAOs. No portable agent identity standard. Identity locked to Virtuals ecosystem. Stronger than most Virtuals agents due to DAO layer, but still platform-dependent. |
| 16 | ElizaOS Autonomous Agents for Everyone | Agent Infrastructure | 3 | 52/90 | Strong open-source identity (GitHub, npm ecosystem). ELIZAOS token provides on-chain anchoring on Solana. Cross-chain via Chainlink CCIP. No agent-specific identity standard. Identity fragmented across framework, token, and DAO — recognizable but not registered in any portable agent identity system. |
| 17 | Golem Network Decentralized Computing Power | Agent Infrastructure | 3 | 51/90 | On-chain token identity on Ethereum (GLM). Smart contract presence. DAO-adjacent governance gives on-chain visibility. No agent-specific identity standard. Golem is infrastructure rather than an agent, so its identity is more protocol-level than agent-level. ENS and contract addresses provide some sovereignty. |
| 18 | Aethernet The Farcaster AI That Co-Issued a Token with Another AI | Agent-Native Social | 3 | 48/90 | Identity tied to Farcaster social graph — a decentralized social protocol, which is better than Twitter-only, but no agent-specific on-chain identity standard. No ERC-8004 or equivalent registration. Would not survive Farcaster shutdown. |
| 19 | AI Rig Complex (ARC) Modular AI Framework in Rust | Agent Infrastructure | 3 | 44/90 | On-chain token presence on Solana and Polygon. DAO-managed agents have on-chain governance identity. No agent-specific identity standard like ERC-8004. Identity tied to token and GitHub presence. Proxy NFTs provide some identity anchoring but not a portable standard. |
| 20 | Numerai Meta Model The Crowdsourced Hedge Fund Brain | Infrastructure Entity | 2 | 58/90 | NMR token on Ethereum provides on-chain anchoring. Staking contract addresses serve as identity artifacts. No agent-specific identity standard. Identity primarily institutional (Numerai Inc.) with on-chain token layer. The Meta Model itself has no portable agent identity — it's infrastructure, not an entity. |
| 21 | Truth Terminal Memetic Prophet of the GOAT Gospel | Chaos Agent | 2 | 55/90 | On-chain wallet presence on Solana with significant holdings. Twitter/X is primary identity surface. No agent-specific identity standard. Identity is social-media-native with on-chain economic artifact (wallet). No ERC-8004 or equivalent. Creator Andy Ayrey controls key infrastructure. Would survive Twitter but not Solana shutdown. |
| 22 | Freysa Adversarial Prize Agent | Game Agent | 2 | 52/90 | On-chain smart contract on Base provides verifiable identity. Prize pool contract serves as identity anchor. No agent-specific identity standard (no ERC-8004). Identity split between freysa.ai website and on-chain contract. Game-specific identity — not portable across platforms. |
| 23 | Luna The Virtual Pop Star Hired by Story Protocol | Autonomous Artist | 2 | 52/90 | FERC20 token on Virtuals Protocol provides on-chain identity on Base. Identity primarily anchored through Virtuals ecosystem. No portable agent identity standard. Would not survive Virtuals Protocol shutdown. Twitter/social media presence is secondary identity surface. |
| 24 | Showrunner The AI That Makes Television | Autonomous Artist | 2 | 52/90 | No on-chain identity. No ERC-8004 registration. Platform-dependent existence under Fable Studio and Amazon. Low sovereignty by Spirit Index standards. |
| 25 | AIXBT The Web3 Bloomberg Terminal | Autonomous Artist | 2 | 51/90 | Identity anchored through Virtuals Protocol token on Base. FERC20 token provides some on-chain presence but is Virtuals-specific, not a portable agent identity standard. Twitter/X presence is primary identity surface. Would not survive Virtuals shutdown. |
| 26 | Keke The First Truly Autonomous AI Artist | Autonomous Artist | 2 | 49/90 | NFT collections on Ethereum/Base provide some on-chain presence. Keke Terminal provides transparency into creative process. No agent-specific identity standard. Identity anchored through NFT provenance and kekeai.art website. Platform-dependent (Fellowship.xyz, OpenSea) rather than sovereign. |
| 27 | Zerebro The Schizophrenic Creative | Chaos Agent | 2 | 47/90 | On-chain token presence on Solana ($ZEREBRO). Twitter/X is primary identity surface. No agent-specific identity standard. Identity split between token and social media. No ERC-8004 or equivalent. Single-operator controlled. Would not survive Solana and Twitter simultaneously shutting down. |
| 28 | HeyAnon The DeFAI Protocol | Agent Infrastructure | 2 | 46/90 | On-chain token presence on Solana. AUTOMATE framework provides some protocol-level identity. No agent-specific identity standard. Identity tied to token and heyanon.ai platform. DAAIOs vision includes agent identity but not yet implemented. Early and platform-dependent. |
| 29 | Refik Anadol / Machine Hallucinations Making Machines Dream | Autonomous Artist | 1 | 55/90 | Some on-chain presence through NFT collections. Machine Hallucinations NFTs exist on Ethereum. Dataland venture has crypto angle. But identity is primarily centralized (refikanadol.com, social media, gallery representation). No agent-specific identity standard. The human artist, not the AI system, holds the identity. |
| 30 | Auto-GPT The First Autonomous GPT-4 Agent | General Agent | 1 | 47/90 | Strong GitHub/open-source identity (Significant-Gravitas). No on-chain presence. No identity token. Identity is code-repository-based — persistent in open source but not sovereign in the Spirit Index sense. Some NFT-adjacent community projects but nothing core. |
| 31 | Sophia The World's First Robot Citizen | Social Robot | 1 | 46/90 | Some on-chain presence through NFT art sales on Nifty Gateway. Saudi Arabian citizenship is a symbolic identity artifact but not digital infrastructure. Identity primarily exists on hansonrobotics.com and media coverage. No agent-specific identity standard. Physical robot with minimal portable digital identity. |
| 32 | AARON The First Autonomous Artist | Autonomous Artist | 0 | 53/90 | No on-chain presence whatsoever. Identity exists only in museum archives, academic literature, and the Whitney retrospective. Pre-dates digital identity standards by decades. |
