And so like, please double check with me before you do anything.

AI on Ethereum: ERC-8004, x402, OpenClaw and the Botconomy | Austin Griffith & Davide Crapis
Are you able to do that or like how have you defended against this?
Bankless
AI on Ethereum: ERC-8004, x402, OpenClaw and the Botconomy | Austin Griffith & Davide Crapis
Yeah.

That brings up something interesting, which is like, we may have to start designing products and wallets specifically that are, like, because their preference, AI bots preference, cloud bot preference, it's not going to be using MetaMask and going through this clunky, stupid human UI, right?

AI on Ethereum: ERC-8004, x402, OpenClaw and the Botconomy | Austin Griffith & Davide Crapis
It's going to prefer some other form factor.
Bankless
AI on Ethereum: ERC-8004, x402, OpenClaw and the Botconomy | Austin Griffith & Davide Crapis
It's like some product dev out there, or maybe a bot does this, but some product dev out there has to build the optimal AI crypto wallet, don't they?
Bankless
AI on Ethereum: ERC-8004, x402, OpenClaw and the Botconomy | Austin Griffith & Davide Crapis
Yeah.

Maybe we can come back to Austin's story because I still feel like there's more to talk about there.

But because it seems like you're just experimenting and you're not sure where this goes, but it does sound like it has a roadmap.

But before we do that, maybe it's worth injecting some of the standards that the Ethereum community has been working on.

So, Davide, you're talking a lot about the trust model, right?
Bankless
AI on Ethereum: ERC-8004, x402, OpenClaw and the Botconomy | Austin Griffith & Davide Crapis
So...
Bankless
AI on Ethereum: ERC-8004, x402, OpenClaw and the Botconomy | Austin Griffith & Davide Crapis
All humans have a similar kind of like, we'll assume moral compass and we have reputation frameworks.
Bankless
AI on Ethereum: ERC-8004, x402, OpenClaw and the Botconomy | Austin Griffith & Davide Crapis
And, you know, I trust you, Davide, because like, you know, David has said fantastic things about you and you're associated with the Ethereum Foundation.

I've seen your work on Twitter.
Bankless
AI on Ethereum: ERC-8004, x402, OpenClaw and the Botconomy | Austin Griffith & Davide Crapis
And so there's reputation built there.
Bankless
AI on Ethereum: ERC-8004, x402, OpenClaw and the Botconomy | Austin Griffith & Davide Crapis
The question is, how does one AI agent trust another AI agent?
Bankless
AI on Ethereum: ERC-8004, x402, OpenClaw and the Botconomy | Austin Griffith & Davide Crapis
Or how do humans trust an AI agent that they are not Nigerian Prince scammers, maybe, or that they are competent at their work?
Bankless
AI on Ethereum: ERC-8004, x402, OpenClaw and the Botconomy | Austin Griffith & Davide Crapis
And I believe you have authored and pushed out as part of the EF a standard that helps with that.
Bankless
AI on Ethereum: ERC-8004, x402, OpenClaw and the Botconomy | Austin Griffith & Davide Crapis
It's called ERC 8004.
