New ERC-8004 standard aims to revolutionize trust and interactions among AI agents on Ethereum Key takeaways The ERC 8004 standard is pivotal for enabling decentralized AI agent interactions and establishing agent reputations. Trustless interactions between agents and services on the blockchain are facilitated by ERC-8004 registries. The launch of ERC-8004 is anticipated to increase the use of autonomous agents on Ethereum. Trust is a critical component for commerce in decentralized systems, posing a barrier without proper mechanisms. Future commerce with AI agents hinges on integrating decentralized trust mechanisms. Demand for blockchains and trust is expected to grow with advancements in AI model capabilities. Ethereum excels in networks where real value exchange and trust are necessary. ERC 8004 aims to build trust between agents in decentralized environments. The 8004 protocol allows users to assess agent reputations based on past performance and reviews. The future of AI involves multiple specialized agents providing services. Agent registries are being developed to organize AI agents, akin to centralized registries. The 8004 registry allows users to query available services across multiple chains, raising centralization concerns. The identity registry links agent IDs to NFTs, enabling ownership transfer. Reputation systems are crucial for maintaining trust in services provided by agents in the NFT space. The 8004 reputation registry is a standard data structure for building various reputation systems. Guest intro Davide Crapis serves as Head of AI at the Ethereum Foundation, leading the dAI Team to establish Ethereum as the settlement and coordination layer for AI agents. He co-authored the ERC-8004 standard for trustless AI agent interactions, now live on mainnet, and previously co-founded PIN AI where he raised $10 million and built a team of over 20. His research focuses on protocol economics, MEV, and integrating AI agents into the Ethereum ecosystem. The role of ERC 8004…
