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.

- We’re starting a new AI Team at the Ethereum Foundation (the dAI Team). Our mission: make Ethereum the preferred settlement and coordination layer for AIs and the machine economy. The team will focus on two main areas: - AI Economy on Ethereum = giving AI agents and robots ways
- In my latest post I make the case that the integration of blockchains with AIs will give rise to an Internet of Agents and discuss a path towards it. Based on research done over the past year and concrete examples from projects innovating in this area.
- Rollups are Real. In a new series of posts I'll dive into the Ethereum rollup economy. The first post is Rollup Economics 2.0, a framework for understanding value flows in a mature rollup ecosystem. It's a light summer read, enjoy!
- Ethereum opportunities in 2024 summarized by Vitalik in 60 seconds: - Scaling is here - Usability is here - ZK infra is here, expands the universe of what can be brought onchain We need to take these ingredients and mix them to create *useful apps* that reach billions of users!
00:00 - Ethereum is at the Google Web3: ZK & AI Summit Today @drakefjustin is talking about the road to gigagas/sec on the L1, via zkVMs and real-time proving Tomorrow I will talk about onboard trillions of AI agents to gulp all this gas, via new standards/integrations—TBA very soon 👀
- Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, Base, Zksync, Starknet, Scroll, Taiko, Unichain, World chain, ... Community, identity, liquidity, privacy, humanity, AI, prediction markets, social experiments, ... The future is Ethereum A powerful & pluralistic ecosystem with ETH front & center
- Working with EF leadership on the dAI Team 2026 roadmap. Huge thanks to the growing community around ERC-8004, and x402 alongside. Together we’re shaping agentic commerce the right way! To all projects building: what’s working? Where should we focus more to help next?
- x402 & 8004 can be standards xchain. unite the entire blockchain community incredible to see this excitement for technical standard, nowhere else. let’s use this energy to build together if you are an EVM chain, or non-EVM, think about 8004 for agent discovery & trust. DMs open
- Ethereum will win on all fronts - soundest money - best execution platform - best rollup platform There are clear metrics on these dimensions -- Ethereum is already leading by a mile or undertaking upgrades that will solidify its position
- The A2A x402 extension is live 🚀 It’s a big deal: adding native crypto payments to the A2A protocol, a nice complement to ERC-8004 which brings discovery & trust. Proud to have contributed with dAI and even prouder this effort is spearheaded by teams in the Ethereum ecosystem!

- Here is a new post that upgrades my view on the Internet of Agents, a concept that I explored in an original post that many have commented on I start from the latest trends and dive into my personal take on what we need and what we're likely to see next
