402 Best Partner, ERC-804 How to solve AI proxy trust problem

Maybe you missed the x 402, but don't miss ERC-804 again。

Over the past few days, the focus of AI agents as a mode of payment has increased dramatically as narratives x 402 warmed. But have you ever heard of ERC-804? Maybe you missed the 402, but don't miss this important deal。

WHAT'S ERC-8004

ERC-8004 is based on the ETA agreement and is intended to build trust, identity, detectability and reputational systems for AI agents, complementing the existing 402 proxy payment infrastructure。

In short:

• automation of AI micropayments
• ERC-8004 PROVIDE A CHAIN-BASED IDENTITY AND REPUTATION TRACKING FUNCTION FOR AI AGENTS

ERC-804, WHY IS IT IMPORTANT

ERC-8004 AIMS TO CREATE A DISTRIBUTED PROXY ECONOMY TO HELP AI DEVELOP AWAY FROM CENTRALIZED REGULATION。

IT WILL BUILD AN AI SYSTEM THAT "DOES NOT NEED PERMISSION, DECENTRIZES, RESISTS CENSORSHIP, PROTECTS PRIVACY" AND WILL MAKE THE ETHERJECT A BASE FOR FUTURE AI PROXY COLLABORATION。

Moreover, its importance is reflected in the following:

• ESTABLISH A CHAIN-BASED SYSTEM OF BUSINESS REGISTRATION AND REPUTATION FOR AI AGENTS, PROVIDING UNMISTAKABLE PUBLIC IDENTITY AND HISTORICAL RECORDS
• REUSE THE EXISTING ETHER (L1/L2) INFRASTRUCTURE WITHOUT CREATING NEW BLOCK CHAINS AND AVOIDING DUPLICATION OF WHEEL CONSTRUCTION
• A light quantification of the structure, with only the use of block chains for visibility and data storage, with the remaining functions deployed below the chain
• ACHIEVING THE ECONOMIC SUSTAINABILITY OF AI, SUPPORTING PORTFOLIO AND SCALABILITY ACROSS INFRASTRUCTURE。

Tory explains the broader meaning of ERC-8004: "AI agents can cause harm, and through ERC-8004 agents with `cleanest' public records will eventually win. I don't know

HOW DOES ERC-804 WORK

ERC-8004 A SIMPLE STRUCTURE WITH THREE CHAINED REGISTRATION FORMS AT ITS CORE:

IDENTITY REGISTRATION. EACH AI AGENT WILL RECEIVE AN ERC-721 NFT AS AN IDENTIFIER THAT CAN BE VIEWED IN ANY NFT WALLET AND SUPPORT THE TRANSFER. THE NFT CONNECTION "AGENT CARD" CONTAINS THE NAME, FUNCTION, TERMINAL NODE TO FACILITATE THE QUICK DETECTION OF SUITABLE AGENTS。

honorary registration. establishing a centralized feedback system whereby clients and agents can submit evaluations based on x402 payment vouchers to ensure that only those who actually participate in the transaction can comment and reduce fraud. all data are publicly available and support the self-defined rating system。

VALIDATE REGISTRATION. IN THE CASE OF IMPORTANT TRANSACTIONS, THE AGENT MAY REQUEST A THIRD PARTY TO CERTIFY - BY MEANS OF A CREDIBLE IMPLEMENTATION ENVIRONMENT (TEE) PREDICTOR, PLEDGE REASONING OR A LEARNING CERTIFICATE OF A ZERO-KNOWLEDGE MACHINE, A CERTIFICATE OF CONDUCT AT THE ENCRYPTION LEVEL, SIMILAR TO A PROFESSIONAL QUALIFICATION。

EXAMPLE: ASSUMING YOU HAVE AN AI AGENT, YOU NEED TO REBALANCE THE PORTFOLIO BY ACCESSING DATA FROM OTHER AI AGENTS' CHAIN ANALYSIS。

By means of x402, your agent can easily deposit $100 into the service, but before payment is made, x402 cannot verify the reliability of the provider; and ERC-804 will secure the transaction by:

• THE ID FORMS ALLOW YOUR AI PROXY TO VERIFY THE NFT IDENTITY AND SERVICE RANGE OF THE ANALYST
• (a) the reputable registration form provides positive evaluation records and proof of completion rates attached to past payments
• The certification of the registration form ensures that third-party certifiers have certified the quality of the report。

once the authentication records are up, the funds will be released automatically, with the addition of a reputational evaluation. this process builds a "credible autonomous deal" that can't be achieved by 402。

x 402 with ERC-804 Ecology

I read in detail in my previous article (https://x.com/eli5_defi/status/1978474979600879984) x 402 ecology. The ERC-804 infrastructure has been extended to several layers, some of which are listed below:

• Infrastructure: EigenClaud, Taiko, Eternal AI, NEAR, Phala Network
• Intermediate: OpenServ, Unibase, S.A.N.T.A, Kinic AI, Chaoschain, NovaNet
• Application level: Zyfai, Virtuals Protocol, Praxis, Cortensor, Semantic Layer

ERC-8004 MORE THAN FINANCE

THE FINANCIAL SECTOR IS JUST THE FIRST STEP IN "UNTRUSTED AGENTS," AND THE APPLICATION OF ERC-8004 GOES FAR BEYOND FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS。

Author Agent

Services include writing, social media management, community operations, translation, photo production, screening criteria based on reputation and client evaluation。

Trading agent

Support decentralised chain commissioning to achieve rebalancing of the DeFi portfolio and optimization of returns. The pledge certifier audited the results of the transaction and the error was compensated through the forfeiture mechanism。

Agent for Analyst

SERVICES SUCH AS MARKET ANALYSIS, DATA CRAWLING, LABELLING, CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT OPTIMIZATION. USING TEE TECHNOLOGY, MULTIPLE INSTITUTIONS CAN BE CALCULATED FOR PRIVATE DATA WITHOUT EXPOSING THE ORIGINAL IDENTIFIER。

Game agent

Create non-player roles across games, with lasting role setting and skills. Game invitations and role appearances are based on the allocation of reputations。

Doctor

SUMMARIZING DATA ON ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORDS, CHECKING CLINICAL GUIDELINES, DRAFTING MEDICAL RECORDS. THROUGH TEE TECHNICAL SECURITY INTEGRATION LABORATORY DATA, VISUAL INFORMATION AND PHARMACY INFORMATION, VERIFIABLE PERFORMANCE CERTIFICATES ARE PROVIDED FOR AUDIT。

Individual bilocation

USE PRIVACY PROTECTION AI MEMORY TO STORE PERSONAL DATA ENCRYPTED IN CLOUDS. THROUGH TEE TECHNOLOGY, INDIVIDUALIZED SERVICES SUCH AS CENTRALIZED AI ARE ACHIEVED WHILE SAFEGUARDING PRIVACY。

Insurance agent

Automation of the safeguards and claims process using large language models. The pledge certifier verifies the decision and evidence and the wrong decision is returned to the user through the forfeiture of funds。

Scheduling Agent

Processing flights, hotels, restaurants and route optimization. Selecting service providers based on reputation to ensure cost-effectiveness。

Laboratory agent

COORDINATING EXPERIMENTAL PROCESSES THROUGH THE HARDWARE SECURITY MECHANISM, SIGNING DATA OUTPUT RESULTS, CONDUCTING ANALYSES IN THE TEE ENVIRONMENT AND RETURNING VERIFIABLE AND AUDITABLE RESULTS。

Summary

The ERC-8004 co-sponsored by Davide Cripis of the Ether Mills Foundation, Marco De Rossi of MetaMask, Jordan Ellis of Google and erik.eth of Coinbase (also the founder of x 402) is an important addition to the x402 agreement。

the combination of x402 and ERC-8004 shows that technological advances can effectively integrate payment systems with verifiable trust in embedded chains to solve real-world problems. Although it has been argued that x402 and ERC-8004 are only part of a major narrative that integrates encryption and AI, they do unlock the practical payment mechanisms between agents and provide the basis for large-scale applications。
