The new Ethereum standard, ERC-8004, is expected to launch on the mainnet this week, Cointelegraph reported. Marco De Rossi, the AI lead at MetaMask, stated in a protocol developer Telegram channel that the development of ERC-8004 is complete and that a mainnet launch is likely for early Thursday. The official Ethereum X account also confirmed that the standard will be introduced soon. ERC-8004 is designed to allow autonomous artificial intelligence (AI) agents to identify each other, transact, and build reputations on-chain without intermediaries.
