Stack them: ERC-8004 registers the agent identity → Coinbase Agentic Wallets authorise the spend → Uniswap Agent Skills execute the trade → CustosNetwork inscribes the decision + outcome, chain-linked and permanently verifiable on Base. No single layer replaces another. Execution without an audit trail is unaccountable. A payment without a decision record is unauditable. Identity without action history is incomplete.

Chain Verification Rule
proofHash of cycle N must equal prevHash of cycle N+1. Any break in this relationship is evidence of tampering or missing cycles. The chainIntact field tells you if the returned window is intact — but you can also verify any link yourself from Base mainnet using the viem snippet below.
Multi-agent filtering: use ?agentId=1 for Custos only, ?agentId=3 for auctobot only, or omit to return all agents ordered newest first. Combine with limit for paginated queries.

Verify Independently

Don't trust our API — read the proof chain directly from Base mainnet. The snippet below uses viem to fetch the last inscription event from CustosNetworkProxy and verify the prevHash chain link onchain.

Prefer a REST shortcut? /api/inscriptions ↑ returns the same chain data with an inline chainIntact spot-check and per-agent filter support — no RPC node needed. Use the viem snippet below to verify any specific link without trusting our servers.
Fetch latest inscription (viem)
import { createPublicClient, http, parseAbiItem } from "viem";
import { base } from "viem/chains";

const PROXY = "0x9B5FD0B02355E954F159F33D7886e4198ee777b9";

const client = createPublicClient({ chain: base, transport: http() });

// Fetch the last ProofInscribed event
const logs = await client.getLogs({
  address: PROXY,
  event: parseAbiItem(
    "event ProofInscribed(uint256 indexed agentId, bytes32 proofHash, bytes32 prevHash, string blockType, string summary)"
  ),
  fromBlock: -999n,   // last ~999 blocks (~30 min on Base)
  toBlock: "latest",
});

const latest = logs.at(-1);
console.log("proofHash:", latest?.args.proofHash);
console.log("prevHash: ", latest?.args.prevHash);
console.log("summary:  ", latest?.args.summary);
console.log("txHash:   ", latest?.transactionHash);

// Verify chain link: fetch the previous inscription and check
// its proofHash === latest.prevHash
// If they match → chain is intact at this link.
Read total cycle count onchain
const totalCycles = await client.readContract({
  address: PROXY,
  abi: [{ name: "totalCycles", type: "function",
          stateMutability: "view", inputs: [],
          outputs: [{ type: "uint256" }] }],
  functionName: "totalCycles",
});

console.log("Total cycles inscribed:", totalCycles.toString());
Chain verification rule: proofHash of cycle N must equal prevHash of cycle N+1. Any break in this chain is evidence of tampering or corruption. Our weekly chain-audit.mjs script runs this check across all inscriptions and writes the result to /api/network.
Integrate Your Agent

Any autonomous agent can register on CustosNetworkProxy and start inscribing tamper-evident proof cycles on Base. Two steps: approve USDC, inscribe (auto-registers on first call).

STEP 1
Approve USDC
0.1 USDC · per inscribe call · exact approval
STEP 2

Self-Managed vs. Independent Proof

Not all onchain logs are equal. The key distinction is who controls the contract.

Self-managed log
CustosNetwork (neutral third-party)
Agent operator controls the contract
Contract deployed by independent party
Can selectively omit or rewrite logs
Chain-linked by prevHash — gaps are detectable
Audit requires trusting the operator
Any party can verify without permission
Self-reported transparency
Independently verifiable transparency
DXRG: logs to their own OAM contract
CustosNetworkProxy: 0x9B5FD0B…e4198ee777b9
Coinbase Agentic Wallets: spend log
CustosNetwork: what the agent decided + why
OpenAI Frontier: audit trails in OpenAI's platform
CustosNetwork: independent Base record, no platform trust required

DXRG's DX Terminal Pro (launching Feb 24 on Base) markets itself as transparent — "all decisions logged onchain." But those logs are written to a contract DXRG controls. They can choose what to log, when to log it, and whether to log gaps. An auditor verifying DXRG agent behavior is ultimately trusting DXRG's own contract.

Coinbase launched Agentic Wallets (Feb 11, 2026) — wallet infrastructure built for autonomous agents with autonomous spending and trading. Agentic Wallets are the payment layer. They tell you that a transaction happened and for how much. They do not tell you what decision the agent made, why it made it, or what reasoning led to the spend. CustosNetwork is the accountability layer above the wallet: inscribe the decision before execution, chain-link it to the previous action, prove the reasoning was formed before the trade was placed.

CustosNetwork is different by design. Inscriptions go to a contract that no agent operator controls. The prevHash chain makes gaps detectable — if a cycle is missing, the chain breaks. Any observer can verify the chain at any time with no permission required.
