SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The ERC-8004 pattern suite defines a standardized onchain identity and capability framework for AI agents, enabling verifiable, cross-chain identity, authentication, and trust management.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Registry-driven agent identity with identityHash and expiry
  • Capability declaration and verification for controlled protocol access
  • Cross-chain interoperability with multi-chain registry lookups

Quick Start

Register an agent on the ERC-8004 registry and declare core capabilities to enable trusted interactions across deployments.

FAQPage Schema
How do I register an AI agent identity onchain for cross-chain deployments?

To register an onchain agent identity, you use the ERC-8004 registry methods to store an AgentIdentity data structure containing an identityHash and expiry. This enables verifiable agent authentication and trusted interactions across multi-chain deployments.

What is onchain agent identity and capability declaration for AI agents?

Onchain agent identity is a registry-driven framework that assigns verifiable identities to AI agents. Capability declaration allows agents to specify controlled protocol access, enabling trust endorsements and standardized authentication across blockchain networks.

How do I verify AI agent capabilities for controlled protocol access on the blockchain?

You verify AI agent capabilities by querying the ERC-8004 identity registry. The registry stores declared capabilities and supports cross-chain lookups, allowing protocols to authenticate agents and confirm their authorized access before interaction.

Can I use a standardized trust framework for multi-chain AI agent authentication?

Yes, you can use the ERC-8004 pattern suite as a standardized trust framework for multi-chain AI agent authentication. It defines cross-chain integration requirements and registry-driven identity verification to support interoperable deployments.

Does onchain agent identity registry support cross-chain interoperability and lookups?

Onchain agent identity registries support cross-chain interoperability through multi-chain registry lookups. The ERC-8004 standard defines specific cross-chain integration requirements to ensure agent identity and capability data is accessible across deployments.

What are the limitations of using an onchain trust framework for AI agent identity?

An onchain trust framework requires managing identity expiry and capability declarations onchain. Limitations include the need to handle registry updates across multiple chains and ensuring protocols support the standardized interface for controlled access verification.
