Ethereum is getting ready to push a new idea from theory to practice.
Today, most AI tools live inside closed systems. Trust is local and reputation does not travel. ERC 8004 aims to change that by using Ethereum as a neutral layer where credibility can be shared and verified.
ERC 8004 is a proposed Ethereum standard designed for AI agents. An agent is a software program that can act on its own, such as booking services, managing data, or negotiating prices. Discovery means agents can find each other on a shared network. Portable reputation means an agent’s history of good or bad behavior can move with it wherever it goes.
In simple terms, ERC 8004 lets an AI prove who it is and how it has behaved in the past. That proof lives on chain, meaning it is recorded on Ethereum and can be checked by anyone. If an agent performs tasks reliably, its reputation score improves. If it acts dishonestly, that record follows it.
A real world example makes this clearer. Imagine an AI agent that sources shipping quotes for an online retailer. With ERC 8004, that agent could work with logistics platforms, payment services, and insurers across different companies. Each partner can see the agent’s reputation before trusting it with data or funds. No central authority needs to approve access.
Ethereum continues to dominate the tokenized asset space, hosting 61.2% of all tokenized assets on blockchain networks. Nearly $200 billion worth of assets now settle on Ethereum, highlighting its role as the primary hub for digital representations of value.
These tokenized assets cover a wide range, including stablecoins that track the US dollar, tokenized investment funds, shares of stocks, and even commodities like gold or oil. By enabling these assets to move and settle on chain, Ethereum provides liquidity, transparency, and global access that traditional markets often struggle to match.

ERC-8004 is going live on mainnet soon. By enabling discovery and portable reputation, ERC-8004 allows AI agents to interact across organizations ensuring credibility travels everywhere. This unlocks a global market where AI services can interoperate without gatekeepers.
Ethereum is in the unique position to be the platform that secures and settles AI-to-AI interactions. The ERC-8004 standard is coming to mainnet.
