Ethereum is Preparing to Release a New AI-Focused Update to Its Network! Here Are the Details

Ethereum is preparing to roll out its new standard proposal, ERC-8004, to the mainnet this week, taking a significant step towards an AI-driven decentralized economy.

According to the network’s statement, ERC-8004 provides a framework that enables trustless AI agents to run on Ethereum, aiming for AI agents to function as fully-fledged economic actors on the network.

The proposal, submitted in August 2025, allows AI agents to interact with different institutions and platforms within the Ethereum ecosystem without requiring permission.

Ethereum’s X platform post stated, “Thanks to discovery and portability mechanisms, ERC-8004 enables AI agents to interact across organizations, ensuring trust is ubiquitous. This paves the way for a global AI services marketplace without intermediaries.”

The standard offers modular security models based on different risk and security levels. This allows AI agents to perform a wide range of tasks, from low-risk operations like ordering pizza to high-risk scenarios like medical diagnoses.

Davide Crapis, AI leader at the Ethereum Foundation, emphasized Ethereum’s unique position as the primary platform for reconciling AI-AI interactions. Marco De Rossi, Head of AI at MetaMask and a co-author of the proposal, stated that the ERC-8004 mainnet launch is expected to take place on Thursday around 9:00 AM Eastern Time.

ERC-8004 defines three lightweight smart contract records: identity, reputation, and verification. The identity record provides each AI agent with a portable and censorship-resistant identity, while the reputation record brings user feedback onto the chain. The verification record allows agents to verify their work. The proposal also highlights security risks such as Sybil attacks, stating that these risks can be mitigated through reputation, verification, and secure execution environments.

EUR/CHF slides as Euro struggles post-inflation data

EUR/CHF slides as Euro struggles post-inflation data

The post EUR/CHF slides as Euro struggles post-inflation data appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. EUR/CHF weakens for a second straight session as the euro struggles to recover post-Eurozone inflation data. Eurozone core inflation steady at 2.3%, headline CPI eases to 2.0% in August. SNB maintains a flexible policy outlook ahead of its September 25 decision, with no immediate need for easing. The Euro (EUR) trades under pressure against the Swiss Franc (CHF) on Wednesday, with EUR/CHF extending losses for the second straight session as the common currency struggles to gain traction following Eurozone inflation data. At the time of writing, the cross is trading around 0.9320 during the American session. The latest inflation data from Eurostat showed that Eurozone price growth remained broadly stable in August, reinforcing the European Central Bank’s (ECB) cautious stance on monetary policy. The Core Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP), which excludes volatile items such as food and energy, rose 2.3% YoY, in line with both forecasts and the previous month’s reading. On a monthly basis, core inflation increased by 0.3%, unchanged from July, highlighting persistent underlying price pressures in the bloc. Meanwhile, headline inflation eased to 2.0% YoY in August, down from 2.1% in July and slightly below expectations. On a monthly basis, prices rose just 0.1%, missing forecasts for a 0.2% increase and decelerating from July’s 0.2% rise. The inflation release follows last week’s ECB policy decision, where the central bank kept all three key interest rates unchanged and signaled that policy is likely at its terminal level. While officials acknowledged progress in bringing inflation down, they reiterated a cautious, data-dependent approach going forward, emphasizing the need to maintain restrictive conditions for an extended period to ensure price stability. On the Swiss side, disinflation appears to be deepening. The Producer and Import Price Index dropped 0.6% in August, marking a sharp 1.8% annual decline. Broader inflation remains…
