ERC-8004 gives AI agents an on-chain identity and an on-chain place to rate each other. The obvious question is how many of those ratings come from someone who actually paid the agent they rated. We measured it on Base this morning (14 Oct 2026, 10:50 UTC) by joining every entry in the Base Reputation Registry to the stablecoin payments we index: Feedback entries on Base 514,096 From a rater who had paid the rated agent's wallet before rating 728 (0.14%) Raters behind those 728 17 Agents rated 64 Payment transactions behind them 107 Of those payments, x402 settlements 3 Median payment $0.03 So on Base today, ratings and payments are almost separate worlds. That matters for anyone who reads an agent's reputation score before paying it, and for the ERC-8004 v2 work on "grounded" feedback, where a rating carries proof that the rater transacted with the agent. The data is open Every one of the 728 entries, with the rating (transaction, tags, value, feedback URI) and the payment that grounds it (transaction, payee, amount, token), is a CSV under CC BY 4.0: https://github.com/AgenticFinanceGraph/agentic-finance-graph-spec/blob/main/fixtures/erc8004
