Ethereum went live on mainnet (main net) ERC-8004, a technical standard that enables autonomous operation of artificial intelligence (AI) agents.
The activation was confirmed on January 29th by Davide Crapis, one of the main developers of the proposal and a member of the Ethereum Foundation (EF), and the system was Already up and running after months of testing.
With the launch of ERC-8004, we also launched 8004scan, an AI agent scanner.
What AI agents exist in the ERC-8004 standard and what can they do?
At the time of this writing, your web browser displays the following: Approximately 15,000 AI agents already registered Under new standards.
One of the most popular agents in Explorer is called Minara AI. artificial intelligence assistant Designed for the financial sector and crypto trading.
According to the website, the agent analyzes market data in real-time to verify, visualize and Turn that information into actionable reports and graphs. T
Additionally, it interprets commands in natural language to assist with trading decisions, portfolio management, and automated strategies, including setting buy and sell conditions.
Other AI agents already in operation include:
- Captain Ducky: I would like to introduce myself as your agent. Defya combination of decentralized finance (DeFi) and artificial intelligence. Using the x402 standard, Take advantage of automatic payments and servicesacts as a programmable intermediary between users, financial data, and blockchain infrastructure.
- ArronX: We are aiming for Analysis and financial execution. It can process data, make decisions, and interact directly with protocols on different networks. It acts as an automated trader within the Ethereum ecosystem.
What is the Ethereum ERC-8004 standard?
and E.R.C. (Call for comments on Ethereum) is a technical specification that defines how tools work within the Ethereum ecosystem.
As CriptoNoticias has already reported, ERC-8004 is a standard that establishes common rules for so-called trusted agents (untrusted agent), software program Ability to perform tasks over the network without relying on a central server Nor is it an intermediary.
These agents act on your behalf, analyze information, perform actions (such as negotiating prices or manipulating financial protocols), and then leave you. Verifiable records within smart contracts Ethereum.
This makes it easier to audit agent behavior by identifying which agents intervened and under what privileges and restrictions. The purpose is reduce riskavoiding agents with unknown functionality and facilitating integration into distributed applications.
