BNB Chain officially surpasses Ethereum to become the top public chain in AI Agent deployments? Let's take a look at how much of this is actually hype.

According to Agentscan, the total number of AI agents on BNB Chain has exceeded 122,000, far surpassing Ethereum. This is especially true with the dual standards of ERC-8004 (Identity Standard) and native BAP-578 (NFA Standard).
These 122,000 agents have only generated about 207,000 on-chain interactions.
Doing the math, that averages less than 2 interactions per Agent.
It seems more like mass automated deployment to exploit ecosystem incentives (such as the MVB program).
Currently, the truly active projects are still old favorites like ChainGPT, MyShell, and GT Protocol. Although the BAP-578 standard grants Agents independent wallets and memory, most NFAs are still in a "proof of existence, no job" idle state. (P2)
But that doesn’t mean Ethereum is really that good either.
According to 8004scan, there are currently only about 13,000 registered smart agents on the Ethereum mainnet (compared to 120,000 on BNB Chain), mostly involving large DeFi interactions. However, due to high Gas fees remaining a nightmare for frequent Agent interactions, many Agents have actually migrated to Base or Arbitrum.
