GameFi is showing signs of life after being largely dismissed by the market. **SoSoValue's GameFi Index posted the highest returns last month**, marking an unexpected turnaround for the gaming sector. The performance was primarily driven by: - **$AXS** (Axie Infinity's token) - Other tradable gaming tokens This development is notable given the sector's previous struggles and widespread skepticism. The Ronin network, which powers Axie Infinity, has been part of a broader resurgence of gaming narratives in crypto. The comeback suggests that gaming tokens may be finding renewed interest from traders, though it remains to be seen whether this represents sustainable growth or short-term speculation.

**ERC-8004 "Trustless Agents"** introduces a new Ethereum standard for decentralized AI agents. The standard functions as an on-chain identity and reputation system for AI: - **Identity verification** through NFTs - **Reputation tracking** via audits - **Third-party validation** using zero-knowledge proofs or staking/slashing mechanisms Think of it as giving AI agents a blockchain-based "passport" and credit score. **Key Development:** MetaMask's AI lead Marco DeRossi discussed the standard's evolution, which extends Google's Agent2Agent protocol with blockchain identity, reputation, and validation layers. The standard enables AI agents to discover each other and establish trust on-chain, creating what developers call "coordinated intelligence on Ethereum rails." @minara emerged as the top ERC-8004 agent in January, demonstrating early adoption of the standard.
