And I kind of think that's what 8004 does is it like gives an identity framework for agents so that like the economy on the internet can know the reputation of the business that they would like to go be a consumer of.

So maybe there are like 10 billion agents

AI agents that just get spun up with no identity whatsoever, and they would like to consume some services.

But really, the important thing to focus on is the actual value and reputation and identity of the agents on the internet that are actually creating valuable products and services.

I think that's kind of what A004 does.

Davide, maybe you could like kind of take this conversation and run with it.

So the three main components that I want to drill down to on 804 is identity, reputation, and validation.

And I think these are all kind of like pretty easy to wrap our heads around.

We've done podcasts on identity plenty of times.

With A004, agents are identified with an ERC-721, which is an NFT.

So wallets on Ethereum that are controlled by an agent get an NFT that is a like unique identifier stamp.

It's like a fingerprint, an agent fingerprint.

Is that right?

What assurances does 8004 provide the actual mapping of that NFT to that particular agent?

Because couldn't I kind of like hot swap the agent and like rug pull it?

And so like, you know, the NFT pointed to one agent, but then

as the human orchestrator, the human operator, can I just like kind of spin up a new agent?

And then all of a sudden that identity is going to a brand new agent.

And then what's the point of that identity in the first place?

Is that a problem?
