LIVE NOW - AI on Ethereum: 8004, x402 and the Botconomy
AI agents are moving onchain, so Ethereum needs new rails for identity, reputation, and payments.
We had @DavideCrapis and @austingriffith to break down:
ERC-8004: “AI passports” for agents (identity + reputation + validation)
Why reputation + verification matters when bots become the main onchain users
x402: pay-per-call payments for agent-to-agent services
What “agent commerce” looks like when bots can discover → trust → pay
The Clawdbot/OpenClaw moment, and why the next UX is talking to your wallet
Watch now.

ERC-8004 is now enabled on Arbitrum
AI agents now get:
- Onchain identity
- Verifiable reputation
- Cross-platform discovery
Paired with Arbitrum’s deep liquidity and credibly neutral platform, builders can ship trustless AI agents and grow the open agentic economy
Lido is built on Ethereum.
@LidoFinance is a decentralized liquid staking protocol. Users stake ETH, receive stETH, and keep liquidity while earning staking rewards.
It helps secure the network while giving individuals and institutions access to participate in staking.

What is the EIL?
The EIL focuses on trustlessness. Wallet-centric, cross-chain orchestration where the user is always in control - without the intermediaries.
But what does this mean for markets today, and how could markets look with wider adoption of the EIL?

Full analysis:
Ethereum is for privacy. 🧅
Blockscout’s @ethereum explorer is now available as a Tor-native onion service: a privacy-first way to observe and verify Ethereum state.
A Tor-native explorer lets you inspect Ethereum:
- From anywhere
- Without revealing location
- Without creating a behavioral trail
Blockscout’s .onion domain for Ethereum provides a clean, uncluttered interface for viewing blocks, transactions and accounts.
How to access @torproject
1: Open https://t.co/FJlPrsKg63 in Tor Browser
2: Tor detects the native service and shows the “.onion available” badge
3: Tap it to access the Tor-native version
Privacy by design
To minimize metadata and tracking, the Tor version removes entire classes of functionality:
- No behavioral measurement or engagement optimization
- No persistent identity layer or social signals
- No execution surfaces or transaction pathways
---
Privacy is the freedom to choose what you search, when you search it, and who you share it with.
For open systems to remain credible, privacy must be accessible for every part of the stack.
