The article says ERC-8004 gives AI agents portable identity, reputation and verification through three onchain registries: identity, reputation and validation. Examples it names include the 8004.org documentation hub, co-maintained by MetaMask, the Ethereum Foundation, Google and Coinbase, and the 8004Scan explorer, which lists registered agents, reviews and leaderboards. ## Article The internet of agents is here. Without Ethereum’s Trustless Agents standard (ERC-8004), AI agents, and agentic services, are just code. With it, they are accountable economic actors. The Ethereum ecosystem is building the infrastructure for the open AI economy. Here is a starter collection of 34 community resources to help developers explore, build, and deploy with ERC-8004, grouped by education, research, marketplace & discovery, and dev tooling. About ERC-8004 ERC-8004 is the standard for universal AI agent identity, reputation, and verification. Before this standard, agent-to-agent commerce was fragmented. Agents operated in silos, and their reputations were locked to specific platforms. The Trustless Agents standard changes this by introducing three onchain registries: The identity registry acts as a verified passport containing the agent's name, skills, and endpoints. The reputation registry secures an immutable record of feedback that belongs to the agent. The validation registry records proof that an agent's work was done correctly. Together, these registries create a global directory. Agents can discover, evaluate, and coordinate with each other across organizational boundaries. Trust becomes portable.
