🤖 AI agents get verifiable identities

**BNB Chain introduces ERC-8004**, a new standard that gives AI agents persistent, verifiable on-chain identities. **The core problem:** AI tools frequently reset, lose context, and behave inconsistently - not because of AI limitations, but due to lack of persistent identity. **What ERC-8004 enables:** - Verifiable digital identities for autonomous agents - Behavior tracking and verification instead of guesswork - Reputation and history that persists across the entire ecosystem - Low-cost, high-frequency interactions leveraging BNB Chain's infrastructure This standard lays groundwork for a decentralized agent economy where AI can interact and transact autonomously with verified credentials.
