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.
Layer 2
Layer 2 refers to scaling solutions built on top of an existing blockchain to improve speed and reduce transaction costs. These solutions process transactions off the main chain while still relying on its security. Common Layer 2 approaches include rollups, state channels, and sidechains. Layer 2 technologies are especially important for high-traffic blockchains like Ethereum. They play a key role in making blockchain networks more usable and scalable.
