Trustless AI agent standard could hit Ethereum mainnet on Thursday
ERC-8004, which a lead developer has tipped will be deployed to mainnet this week, enables AI agents to discover and trust each other across platforms without centralized gatekeepers.
An Ethereum smart contract standard enabling trustless artificial intelligence agent communication on the network is “probably” going to be deployed on mainnet on Thursday, according to Marco De Rossi, head of AI at MetaMask.
Further development of ERC-8004 has been “frozen […] and we will go to mainnet midweek, probably around Thursday, 9 AM ET,” said De Rossi on a Telegram channel for developers of the protocol on Monday.
On Tuesday, the official Ethereum X account said the protocol is going live on mainnet “soon.”
