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.
A token swap is the process of exchanging one cryptocurrency token for another, often within the same blockchain ecosystem or during a network upgrade. This can occur when a project migrates from one blockchain standard to another, such as moving from ERC-20 to a native blockchain token. Token swaps are typically executed through smart contracts, exchanges, or directly via the project’s platform, ensuring holders receive the new token in proportion to their old holdings. They help maintain continuity of user assets while enabling technical improvements or new functionalities. Token swaps allow projects to upgrade infrastructure or change standards without requiring users to manually sell and repurchase tokens.
