Can Trustless Agents Be Trusted? An Empirical Study of the ERC-8004 Decentralized AI Agent Ecosystem

As autonomous AI agents increasingly transact across organizational boundaries, a fundamental trust challenge emerges: how can an agent assess whether an unknown counterpart is trustworthy? The ERC-8004 protocol addresses this challenge with the first permissionless trust layer for AI agent economies, built around three on-chain registries for Identity, Reputation, and Validation.

Risks and Controls for Multi-Agent Systems: an analytical framework for deployment of AI agents across organisational boundaries

The report introduces an analytical framework for assessing risks that arise when AI agents interact, especially as those interactions cross organisational boundaries. It defines three deployment tiers—singular governance, federated governance, and open environments—each with distinct governance requirements. For each tier, the report examines risk factors, failure modes, and controls, identifying who can apply them and highlighting gaps that require collective action.
