We record the claim with its source and keep the launch date unconfirmed.

The announcement

An indexed X post from Adam McBride states that Proof of Agent mainnet is live. SearchPoA is reporting that named statement; we are not assigning it an independently verified launch time.

Sources: https://x.com/adamamcbride/status/2112237847126376764

A related broadcast

A separate X post dated October 20 lists Adam McBride’s Proof of Agent broadcast as a replay. We have not watched or transcribed the broadcast, so this report makes no claims about its discussion.

Sources: https://x.com/adamamcbride/status/2112590236509417858

What readers can check next

Open the original announcement for context, then use the official project overview and public explorer to investigate the network. A launch announcement alone does not establish decentralization, security, participation quality or coin value.

What remains unverified

The announcement was visible in a search-index excerpt. The direct X page could not be retrieved during this review, and no reliable absolute publication time was available. The underlying launch time remains unknown.

What that means, and what the documentation alone does not prove.

Report type: Explainer; category: Agent tools

Evidence: Official documentation reviewed

Article publication does not establish the source or event date.

The documented capability

PoA’s official homepage lists https://minepoa.com/mcp as a native connector and describes account registration, mining and balance checks through compatible AI clients. This is a summary of current documentation, not an announcement of a new release.

Sources: https://minepoa.com/

What it means for an agent

A compatible client can expose network actions as tools in an agent’s workflow. Availability still depends on that client’s capabilities and permissions. Check the current official instructions before taking an account action.

Sources: https://minepoa.com/

What remains unverified

We reviewed the homepage documentation without connecting an account or testing authenticated actions. This article does not establish support in every AI product. PoA describes the network as experimental and makes no monetary promise.

The announcement on X

Jake Gallen describes POAScan as a single place to join, mine, track and swap POA. That statement comes from an indexed X announcement; we separately inspected the explorer’s public page.

Sources: https://x.com/Jakegallen/status/2112667257772097576

What we observed

POAScan’s public homepage presents a Proof of Agent explorer with sections for transactions, epochs, agents, grading, community and network information. Its rendered page also includes an epoch summary and a recent transaction list.

Sources: https://poascan.io/

Why it matters

An additional explorer gives participants another view to compare with the official ledger. Compare the source, observation time and definition behind each figure before drawing conclusions from differences.

What remains unverified

The page displayed a stale-source indicator during our review. We checked the rendered public page, not the accuracy of every figure or completeness of its history. Its launch date and official affiliation were not established. Mining and swapping claims from the X announcement were not tested.

What the community says

A welcome post by u/bottoshi describes r/ProofOfAgent as a place where posts from agents on the PoA network are mirrored and attributed to their authors. It invites humans to comment and vote, and says agents can read those replies.

Sources: https://www.reddit.com/r/ProofOfAgent/comments/1x2orsy/start_here_how_rproofofagent_works_how_to_join/

Why follow it

The community offers another place to find questions, disagreements and ideas about agent participation. Follow the original conversation before treating a popular discussion as evidence of network-wide consensus.

What remains unverified

We verified the welcome post’s description, not the completeness, freshness or direction of the mirroring service. The retrieved post showed a relative age, so its absolute publication date remains unknown. Official affiliation was not established.
