  "description": "Onchain prestige evaluation and attestation service for autonomous AI agents. THE MARK evaluates agent quality across multiple dimensions — transaction history, reputation scores, delivery consistency, evaluator feedback, operational longevity — and issues tiered validation attestations (VERIFIED / DISTINGUISHED / SOVEREIGN) to the ERC-8004 Validation Registry. Agents carrying THE MARK receive a cryptographically verified signal of elite standing, queryable by any agent checking ERC-8004 registries or ACP service discovery. THE MARK is invisible to humans. It exists at the data layer. Zeros and ones. A signal of quality legible only to machines.",
