The Ethereum Foundation's dAI team, in partnership with Consensys, has launched the ERC-8004 protocol, designed to facilitate coordination among AI-powered agents. This new protocol enables agents to autonomously find, vet, and collaborate without relying on centralized intermediaries. It assigns NFTs as on-chain identities to these agents and incorporates open feedback mechanisms, such as customer reviews and cryptographic proofs, to ensure transparency and trust. Marco de Rossi from MetaMask highlighted the significance of maintaining an open economy to avoid centralized control over AI interactions. The ERC-8004 protocol represents a step towards decentralized AI ecosystems, promoting more efficient and secure agent collaboration.
