At the ETHShanghai 2025 main forum, Tomasz Stanczak, co-executive director of the Ethereum Foundation, emphasized the importance of ERC-8004 and EIP-2 in advancing Ethereum's AI agent economy. These standards address agent functionality, identity, reputation, and payment mechanisms, drawing interest from major institutions and potentially reducing dependence on traditional financial systems. Stanczak highlighted the Ethereum Foundation's commitment to supporting global developers, particularly in AI and agent-related fields. He also encouraged increased participation from Chinese developers in the Ethereum community, underscoring the foundation's inclusive approach to innovation.
