VeChain CEO proposes recording AI agent identity and reputation on blockchain

VeChain (VET) co-founder and CEO Sunny Lu has proposed a blockchain-based system for recording the identity and reputation of AI agents and their creators, arguing that autonomous agents need a new accountability framework to earn public trust. In remarks on the Chain Reaction program reported by Cointelegraph, Lu said blockchain is the "perfect solution," with the plan centered not just on rating the quality of AI outputs but on letting users verify who built a given agent and what track record it has accumulated. His proposal would issue each agent a digital passport, though the article excerpt does not detail the passport's full contents. The initiative matters because it positions VeChain, a supply-chain-focused chain, as a potential identity and reputation layer for the emerging AI agent economy. What to watch next is whether the concept moves from proposal to a concrete standard or on-chain implementation, and whether other agent platforms adopt comparable identity registries.
