Seeing that @BNBCHAIN has also launched its own ERC-8004 standard has further solidified my judgment that ERC-8004 is undoubtedly a groundbreaking phenomenon for the Agentic Economy.
Because of "identity" and "reputation," the commercial economic attributes between agents can truly unfold. BNBchain's rapid deployment and expansion of mainnet speaks volumes. Let's discuss a few points:
1) The ERC8004 standard will inevitably be rapidly extended to EVM-Compatible chains like BNBChain, because "EVM native friendliness" is etched into its DNA.
This gives it high reusability and convenience for horizontal expansion within the EVM ecosystem; it's essentially a native infrastructure based on the EVM ecosystem. This makes its deployment on the BNBChain site virtually "frictionless."
The core of ERC8004 consists of three registry entries: "Identity," "Reputation," and "Verification."
"Identity" is based on the ERC721 standard and gives the Agent a "chain account book", which turns the Agent from a string of code scripts into an independent entity that can be tracked and located.
"Reputation" refers to the reputation score and on-chain record performed on the Agent during the call process. This makes the Agent's credit "programmable," allowing some DeFi protocols to directly read the Agent's reputation score and automatically authorize certain operations. For example, if the Agent's reputation score is >90, it can provide unsecured flash loan without relying on manual review.
"Verification" refers to the Agent's audit report, which is ostensibly to prevent the Agent from acting maliciously. However, its greater power lies in the fact that by connecting to TEE (Trusted Execution Environment), ZK Proofs, and other technologies, the Agentic ecosystem can combine the original Ethereum ecosystem's cryptographic verification technology services to achieve more diverse functional expansions.
Once these three standards are operational, they are fully compatible with all EVM and EVM-Compatible chains. The difference lies in who can implement and operate these technical standards more quickly within their own ecosystem.
2) Rapid deployment based on EVM-Compatible compatibility is only the first step. The next step is to leverage the existing Agentic ecosystem to truly apply and implement the ERC-8004 technical standard within the ecosystem, thereby achieving large-scale commercial penetration.
For example, the ERC-8004 reputation system relies on the agent scoring and recording the results on the blockchain after each service interaction. The credibility of the reputation score depends on the agent's high-frequency interactions. If it is only a few small services, it has no reference value.
To be fair, this is actually BNBchain's core underlying advantage in quickly integrating ERC-8004 and getting it running. Although the Ethereum mainnet has significantly increased its Gas Limit and made ordinary transactions much cheaper, the Gas consumption for high-frequency micro-operations at the Agent level is still quite substantial.
For an EVM-Compatible chain that focuses on low gas and high TPS, this becomes the first natural advantage. At least it can take advantage of the "cheap" characteristic to quickly implement the technical standard and test the waters to see if the business loop can be run smoothly.
3) In addition, another major advantage is that the EVM-Compatible chain can also incorporate some "private features" on the basis of the original technical standards to meet some customized business needs. For example, BNBChain has tried to introduce BAP-578 and BEP-620.
How should we understand this? In the original ERC-8004 standard, the Agent identity is just an ID, but BAP-578 directly encapsulates it into an enhanced NFT asset.
This means that a well-trained agent with a high reputation score in a vertical field can be directly traded, leased, or even used as collateral to be integrated into DeFi protocols. Agentic approaches similar to Renthuman's may see faster adoption.
BEP-620 is a lower-level protocol-level "identity" standard native to BNBChain. Combined with the "asset" standard defined by BAP-578 and the automatic "payment" standard defined by x402, a complete Agentic business loop can be achieved.
Next, let's see what interesting and fun innovative gameplay will emerge.
above.
Finally, to reiterate the point I emphasized earlier, excellent developers should not miss out on the Agentic paradigm innovation process initiated by ERC-8004, x402, and Moltbook. It's hard to imagine a more compelling narrative in the short term.
