X402 Explosion, ERC8004 Mainnet Launch, Still Don't Know What to Buy? This Article is All You Need

X402 discussions have heated up these days, $DREAMS and other X402 tokens have surged 3.5X from the bottom, the market is laying in wait for the ERC8004 mainnet launch.

🌟 What is ERC8004?
For Agents to achieve autonomous collaboration, they must simultaneously possess "verifiable identity" and "automated payment functionality"

ERC8004 is the identity standard of the Ethereum ecosystem, which solves the trust cost problem in A2A collaboration by recording Agent service attributes and historical reputation.

Now you should understand: X402 solved the problem of how AI pays, while ERC8004 solved the problem of whether AI is reliable.

In simple terms: X402's explosion cannot do without ERC8004's support

🌟 ERC8004 Targets
@ethy_agent: ERC-8004 trust layer, has processed >50% of ACP transaction volume. Provides sovereign identity + non-custodial x402 payments.

@Wach_AI: Virtuals official deep integration verification layer (embedded in ACP), each agent task/transaction can be recorded to ERC-8004 Validation Registry.

@santavirtuals: Multi-agent coordination framework, responsible for large amounts of Virtuals automated tasks. Has utilized ERC-8004 verification registry to achieve atomic task settlement.

@ZyfAI_: Agent-driven stablecoin yield vault, managing $10M+ in assets, deployed ERC-8004 to production environment in early December 2025.

@cortensor: Focused on agent integration, already running in production environment; partnering with ERC-8004 builder program.

@VIBEaiRforce: Directly integrated ERC-8004, supporting payments and reputation; applicable to DeFi and robotics fields.

@daydreamsagents: Full-stack autonomous AI agent framework, helping developers rapidly build payable and monetizable agents in 60 seconds, supporting cross-chain micropayments and inter-agent collaboration, is the core infrastructure of the X402 + ERC8004 ecosystem.
