Key takeaways

What is the Ethereum Foundation’s new dAI Team working on?

Nhóm dAI, do Davide Crapis đứng đầu, đang xây dựng các tiêu chuẩn như ERC-8004 để cho phép các tác nhân AI giao dịch, phối hợp và xác minh danh tính trên Ethereum.

How is Ethereum’s price reacting amid the announcement?

At press time, ETH traded at $4,508, down 0.36% on the day.

The Ethereum [ETH] Foundation has launched a new dAI team to position Ethereum as the settlement and coordination layer for AI agents and the machine economy.


Led by research scientist Davide Crapis, the team is set to develop open standards to enable AI payments and coordination while countering reliance on centralized platforms.

What’s actually happening?

At the heart of the initiative is ERC-8004, a standard designed to make AI agents discoverable, verifiable, and able to transact seamlessly across Ethereum.

The dAI Team’s primary mission is to finalize a new standard—ERC-8004—by November, with plans to unveil it at Devconnect in Buenos Aires.

Beyond ERC-8004, the Foundation aims to fund open-source projects that promote agent identity, coordination, and the development of interoperable protocols to support a more connected ecosystem.

 

The vision for neutral AI standards

The dAI initiative is an extension of its long-standing principles, which they believe make Ethereum a natural fit for AI-driven transactions.

The group emphasized that while AI could increase Ethereum’s utility, its neutrality could, in turn, help AI systems avoid being locked into centralized models.

To advance this vision, the Foundation announced that they would create job openings, research partnerships, and funding programs aimed at decentralized agent infrastructure.

ETH struggled to hold momentum

Ethereum’s price momentum cooled after its recent rally, with ETH trading at $4,508 at press time, down 0.36% on the day.

The daily chart showed a series of red candles following last week’s surge, pointing to profit-taking and fading bullish pressure. The RSI showed that buying strength was neutral rather than overheated.
