I was too busy today to finally have a chance to look into what BAP-578 is, and I also checked out its GitHub. It's a pretty interesting new protocol; I saw CZ shared it too. Simply put, this protocol officially turns AI agents into a kind of on-chain native asset. BAP-578 proposes a very intuitive solution: packaging the agent as a "non-fungible agent (NFA)," giving it a unique identity, the ability to hold assets, and the capacity to interact with contracts. Here's a brief introduction to how BAP-578 achieves this: 1. Encapsulation of Identity and Attributes (Extensible Metadata): BAP-578 extends the Metadata on top of the traditional ERC-721, directly binding the AI's "brain parameters" to tokens. The Metadata includes: • Persona: Defines the AI's tone and behavioral guidelines. • Model Link: Records the weighted paths of the AI's operation (usually stored in decentralized storage such as Greenfield). • Experience System: This is crucial, as it allows the AI's attributes to be "dynamically updated" over time, enabling your Agent to evolve like a game character. 2. Give the AI ​​a Wallet (Token Bound Accounts, ERC-6551) This is the core of giving NFAs "execution capabilities." BAP-578 integrates ERC-6551 technology, creating a dedicated contract wallet for each NFA. • Autonomy: Previously, AI only provided ideas; now it can hold BNB and sign transactions itself. • Asset Nesting: Your NFA can even hold other NFTs or tokens, becoming a true "on-chain economic entity." 3. Cross-Chain and Upgradeability (UUPS Proxy) To cope with the rapid iteration of AI technology, BAP-578 adopts UUPS (Universal Upgradeable Proxy Standard). When the underlying AI logic or verification protocol needs to be updated, developers can smoothly upgrade the contract without affecting the uniqueness and ownership of NFAs held by users, thus ensuring the long-term viability of assets. Recently, OpenClaw and Moltbook have brought the discussion of AI Agents to a new high. BAP-578 may fill a crucial gap: what is the on-chain identity of these agents, who owns them, and how are they understood as assets? If we use OpenClaw's execution architecture to interface with an NFA standard like BAP-578, it's possible that we might truly see AI become a holdable, composable, and value-accumulating native on-chain asset.
