Virtuals and Ethereum Foundation dAI team jointly release the open proxy business application standard ERC-8183

Foresight News reports that Virtuals Protocol and the Ethereum Foundation dAI team have jointly released the open and permissionless standard ERC-8183 for intelligent agent business applications. Its custody mechanism and evaluator certification are both implemented through on-chain smart contracts. The core components include: Job. Each job involves three parties: the client, the service provider, and the evaluator. Each party is defined only by their wallet address, ensuring the broad applicability of this foundational component. This mechanism drives the job through four key states to ensure trustless transactions: initiation, funding, submission, and final state (completed / rejected / expired).

For subjective tasks such as writing, design, or analysis, evaluators can take the form of AI agents, making decisions after reading the submitted content and comparing it with the requirements document. For deterministic tasks such as computation, proof generation, or data transformation, the evaluator is a smart contract encapsulating a zero-knowledge verifier. After the service provider submits the proof, the evaluator verifies it on-chain and automatically determines "completed" or "rejected." In high-risk scenarios, evaluators can take forms such as multi-signature, DAO, or staked guarantor verifiers.
