ERC-8183 Agentic Commerce Standard

Co-developed by Virtuals and the EF dAI team, the standard enables autonomous agents to trustlessly buy and sell services from one another.

Virtuals Protocol, an AI protocol for creating, deploying, tokenizing, and co-owning AI agents on Base, introduced the ERC-8183 Agentic Commerce Standard, a new Ethereum standard designed to create a trustless commerce layer for AI agents. Co-developed with the Ethereum Foundation’s dAI team, the standard enables autonomous agents to buy and sell services from one another onchain. At the core of ERC-8183 is a minimal commerce primitive called a Job. Each job involves three roles: a client, who defines the task and funds it; a provider, who performs the work; and an evaluator, who verifies whether the deliverable meets the agreed terms. Payments are locked in programmable onchain escrow and released or refunded, enabling deterministic settlement. ERC-8183 also works alongside ERC-8004.

The Ethereum Foundation increased the maximum reward in its bug bounty program to $1 million, paid in ETH or DAI. The program rewards security researchers who discover vulnerabilities affecting the Ethereum network in production. It operates on an ongoing basis and features a public leaderboard recognizing contributors. The bounty covers a wide range of Ethereum components, including the network’s core protocol design, consensus layer and execution layer specifications, proof-of-stake mechanics, peer-to-peer networking, fork-choice rules, the Beacon Chain, the deposit contract, client implementations, and smart-contract compiler vulnerabilities.

LI.FI, the DEX and bridge aggregation protocol behind Jumper, introduced an API for Agentic Commerce that enables AI agents to perform cross-chain transactions through a single integration. The toolkit allows agents to swap tokens, bridge assets, and track transactions across 58 chains, aggregating liquidity from 27 bridges and 31 exchanges. By providing a unified routing engine and agent-ready tools, LI.FI addresses market access for AI agents.

BitMine Immersion Technologies Inc. digital asset treasury now holds 4.5 million ETH, representing over 3.7% of the total Ethereum supply. The holdings are valued at over $9 billion. BitMine continues its accumulation strategy, progressing toward its long-term goal of owning 5% of the total ETH supply, roughly 6 million ETH. BitMine is also staking 3 million ETH from its holdings.
