what's erc-8004?

ERC-8004 is an Ethereum standard designed to facilitate the creation and operation of decentralized AI agents. It provides a framework for these agents to interact autonomously within the Ethereum ecosystem, enabling them to manage transactions, access services, and settle payments without human intervention. By integrating with payment protocols like x402, ERC-8004 supports seamless stablecoin transfers, such as USDC, directly tied to agent actions and computations. The standard positions Ethereum as a central hub for the decentralized AI economy, allowing agents to engage in complex tasks like strategy games, model inference, or multi-protocol communications (e.g., MCP, A2A, AP2). It emphasizes security, interoperability, and on-chain verifiability, ensuring that AI-driven activities are transparent and economically viable. Key mechanics include agent registration, capability definitions, and settlement layers, where payments are triggered via HTTP-native methods or blockchain calls. This enables machine-to-machine economies, with agents earning and spending crypto assets independently.
