Definition ∞ Agent Reputation Networks are decentralized systems that assess and maintain the trustworthiness of autonomous software agents or entities. These networks collect and aggregate feedback on agent performance, behavior, and reliability. They assign reputation scores or ratings, which influence an agent’s ability to participate in various protocols or transactions. This mechanism helps to mitigate risks associated with interactions in permissionless environments.
Context ∞ The construction of robust agent reputation networks is vital for establishing secure and efficient interactions among autonomous entities in decentralized ecosystems. Discussions often concern the fairness and tamper-resistance of reputation algorithms and the prevention of Sybil attacks. The future utility of these networks depends on their ability to accurately reflect an agent’s historical conduct and incentivize beneficial actions.
