Editorial reading note
The checked portions are Abstract; Specification/Identity Registry in the pinned version. The original title is Trustless Agents.
This Draft proposal addresses agent discovery, selection and interaction across organizations using pluggable trust models. Identity registration uses ERC721 with URIStorage: agentId corresponds to tokenId and agentURI points to a registration file. The text lists client-feedback reputation, stake-backed re-execution, zkML and TEE as verification options. Separate identity resolution from trust evidence; registration does not establish reliable behavior, and a Draft is not a finalized standard.
Reading level: spec_text; only the sections above were checked. Pinned version: 90b1b4f10634290c1e227d700554065c755f0816 (https://github.com/ethereum/ERCs/blob/90b1b4f10634290c1e227d700554065c755f0816/ERCS/erc-8004.md).
