The foundation for **agentic commerce** is taking shape through three key components: - **ERC-8004**: The standard enabling agent discovery and interaction - **x402/A2A/AP2**: Protocols facilitating agent-to-agent communication - **EigenCloud**: Infrastructure providing verifiable compute for autonomous operations These building blocks are converging to create **autonomous economies** where AI agents can discover each other, communicate directly, and execute transactions independently. The shift represents a move beyond speculative tokens toward practical infrastructure for agent-driven commerce. Developers looking to enter this space now have a clear technical stack to work with, combining on-chain standards with communication protocols and compute verification.
