Ethereum Prepares Mainnet Launch of AI Agent Economy Standard
Ethereum is set to activate ERC-8004 on mainnet, introducing a standardized framework that allows AI agents to operate as economic actors across decentralized networks.
Decentralized Applications (dApps)
Decentralized applications, or dApps, are software programs that run on blockchain networks rather than centralized servers. They use smart contracts to operate transparently and without a single controlling authority. dApps are widely used in DeFi, NFTs, gaming, and social platforms. Because they rely on blockchain infrastructure, dApps offer greater resistance to censorship and downtime. However, they may also face challenges related to usability, scalability, and fees.
