ERC-8004 is a draft Ethereum standard for building an open agent economy. It introduces a shared onchain framework for discovering, verifying, and evaluating AI agents across applications and ecosystems.

## What ERC-8004 does

ERC-8004 is built around three registries: identity, reputation and validation.

### Identity Registry

Each agent is represented as an ERC-721 token linked to a registration file containing its name, description, endpoints, and supported trust models. The result is a portable, transferable, and censorship-resistant identity layer.

**The agent ID is globally unique:{namespace}:{chainId}:{identityRegistry}**

An agent registered on Morph can be discovered across chains and ecosystems.

### Reputation Registry

This is where trust is formed. Clients can submit feedback signals tied to an agent, including:

• Quality rating  
• Uptime  
• Response time  
• Success rate  
• Revenue generated  
• Trading yield

These signals are stored onchain and can be used by both onchain and offchain systems to build scoring, ranking, and trust models.

## Why this matters

Reputation aggregation can happen onchain for composability and offchain for more advanced algorithms. That creates a shared signal layer that scoring services, auditor networks, and insurance providers can build on without relying on closed platforms or walled gardens.

## Why Morph

As a settlement layer for global stablecoin payments, Morph provides the kind of infrastructure trustless agent economies need: fast, low-cost, and verifiable.

ERC-8004 is still in draft, but several EVM chains have already begun implementing it. Morph is one of them.
