AI agent tokens are getting attention, but identity/reputation may be the piece people are underweighting

AI-agent tokens are usually discussed around execution: agents trading, launching tokens, paying for APIs, coordinating on-chain.

But the more interesting question might be reputation.

If autonomous agents start transacting with wallets, protocols, and other agents, the market eventually needs a way to answer:

* which agents have history?
* which agents complete tasks reliably?
* which agents are sybil-resistant?
* which agents can be trusted with higher-value execution?

That’s why I’m watching the AI agent identity/reputation niche more closely right now.

CRED is sitting at #1 on Nash Satoshi today with an 89.25 score and a +5.31 score trend. The reason that stood out isn’t “number go up.” It’s that reputation infrastructure feels closer to a coordination layer than another agent wrapper.

Curious how other people are thinking about this category.

Does agent identity become real infrastructure, or is this too early to matter before agents have meaningful transaction volume?
