Anduin: A sybil-resistant agentic marketplace reputation system

arXiv:2611.05586v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As autonomous AI agents enter permissionless onchain markets, selecting new service providers remains a core challenge. Existing reputation systems depend on scarce resources like human curation, identity credentials, or voluntary reviews, while naive volume rankings are vulnerable to Sybil attacks. We evaluate whether existing onchain payment histories can yield provider ratings that are resilient against Sybil attacks. Using a 157-day dataset comprising 66M agentic transactions worth $6.1M across 16 blockchains, we model payment flows as a bipartite graph between buyers and providers. A provider's rating is derived from graph paths linked to a buyer's existing trusted network.
