January 28th — BitMine Director Tom Lee commented on the upcoming Ethereum ERC-8004 AI Agent Standard, noting that AI agents will pose future security challenges since agent systems will operate outside the "walled garden" of their existing setups. A key question: How do real-world systems verify if instructions are genuine? Smart contract blockchains can act as a way to confirm command origins, track payment activity, and handle final settlements — a strong use case for Ethereum. Notably, Ethereum is the only smart contract platform with 100% uptime since its launch, a critical metric for trust and reliability. Earlier today, Ethereum officially revealed the ERC-8004 standard is set to go live on the mainnet. By implementing a discovery mechanism and portable reputation system, ERC-8004 enables AI agents to interact across various organizations, ensuring reputation portability across networks. This unlocks a global market for AI service interoperability.
