Summary

Official ERC-8004: Trustless Agents. Status on the page is Draft (citation: ERC-8004: Trustless Agents [DRAFT]; created 2025-08-13). Proposes on-chain identity, reputation, and validation registries so agents can be discovered and trusted across organizational boundaries without pre-existing trust. Payments are orthogonal to this protocol and not covered here; examples show how x402 payments can enrich feedback signals.

Short quotes

This protocol proposes to use blockchains to discover, choose, and interact with agents across organizational boundaries without pre-existing trust, thus enabling open-ended agent economies.

Payments are orthogonal to this protocol and not covered here.

However, examples are provided showing how x402 payments can enrich feedback signals.
