The Ethereum Name Service (ENS) is a distributed, open, and extensible naming system based on the Ethereum blockchain. ENS’s job is to map human-readable names like ‘alice.eth’ to machine-readable identifiers such as Ethereum addresses, other cryptocurrency addresses, content hashes, and metadata. ENS also supports ‘reverse resolution’, making it possible to associate metadata such as canonical names or interface descriptions with Ethereum addresses. ENS has similar goals to DNS, the Internet’s Domain Name Service, but has significantly different architecture due to the capabilities and constraints provided by the Ethereum blockchain. Like DNS, ENS operates on a system of dot-separated hierarchical names called domains, with the owner of a domain having full control over subdomains. Top-level domains, like ‘.eth’ and ‘.test’, are owned by smart contracts called registrars, which specify rules governing the allocation of their subdomains. Anyone may, by following the rules imposed by these registrar contracts, obtain ownership of a domain for their own use. ENS also supports importing in DNS names already owned by the user for use on ENS. Because of the hierarchal nature of ENS, anyone who owns a domain at any level may configure subdomains - for themselves or others - as desired. For instance, if Alice owns 'alice.eth', she can create 'pay.alice.eth' and configure it as she wishes. ENS is deployed on the Ethereum main network and on several test networks. If you use a library such as the ensjs Javascript library, or an end-user application, it will automatically detect the network you are interacting with and use the ENS deployment on that network.

Ethereum (ETH) is extending its influence in the AI industry as developers aim to integrate AI with decentralized technology. Building on this, new reports have revealed that ETH developers are preparing to roll out an AI-focused update that could see AI agents work and engage directly on the blockchain network . Ethereum Prepares To Launch New AI Agent Standards Ethereum is getting ready to launch a major update that could transform how artificial intelligence interacts with blockchain . The new upgrade, called ERC-8004, uses blockchain to find, select, and work with AI agents across different organizations without pre-existing trust, enabling open-need agent economies. On January 27, the Ethereum team made an official announcement revealing that ERC-8004 will go live soon, opening the door for projects to integrate with AI in a decentralized way. Marco De Rossi, one of the primary authors of ERC-8004 and the AI lead at MetaMask, stated that development of the protocol has been frozen, as the team prepares to deploy it on the mainnet, with a likely launch around 9 AM ET on Thursday, January 30. The proposal was initially submitted in August 2025 and has since undergone multiple rounds of community review and revision before reaching its final implementation stage. Early adopters have also tested the system to explore new applications for autonomous AI agents. The new ERC-8004 protocol is designed to give AI agents on Ethereum unique identities and verifiable reputations, enabling autonomous systems to interact without relying on centralized platforms. Each AI agent will receive a unique ERC-721 NFT as its on-chain ID, serving as a digital passport. The system also supports ENS domains , allowing agents to have readable names and securely delegate control when needed. ERC-8004 also introduces on-chain mechanisms for reputation and validation, enabling AI agents to record feedback and prove task execution outcomes. The protocol also allows agents to record their actions and performance on the blockchain, so other AI agents and users can verify their interactions and build trust quickly. Importantly, the AI Lead at the Ethereum Foundation has also shared his thoughts on the new ERC-8004 standard. He said that Ethereum is now uniquely positioned to be the platform that “secures and settles AI-to-AI interactions.” ETH’s Deep Dive Into The AI Industry Ethereum is explaining its role in artificial intelligence , building on earlier efforts to connect the industry with decentralized technology. While the upcoming ERC-8004 standard for AI agents has gained massive attention, it is not Ethereum’s first move into AI. The network has been exploring ways to support blockchain and AI development for years, laying the groundwork for a broader ecosystem. For instance, the Ethereum Foundation previously established a dedicated AI team, known as the dAI Team. This group is tasked with creating infrastructure that allows Ethereum to act as a coordination and settlement layer for autonomous systems.

Ethereum announced the proposition ERC-8004 is going on the main net soon. The upgrade will allow communication between AI agents. The Ethereum network will soon introduce the ERC-8004 standard, the Ethereum Foundation announced. To date, agentic tasks have been performed on an ad-hoc basis, with a human element. Ethereum aims to make agent-to-agent transactions a main feature of its network. ERC-8004 will enable discovery and portable reputation, meaning agents can interact across organizations. AI services may be able to join the permissionless on-chain economy based on their reputation score, without the need for extra verification steps. Ethereum is in the unique position to be the platform that secures and settles AI-to-AI interactions. The ERC-8004 standard is coming to mainnet. pic.twitter.com/sjMziiPuaQ — Davide Crapis (@DavideCrapis) January 27, 2026 The proposal was built by Marco De Rossi, Davide Crapis , Jordan Ellis, and Erik Reppel, representing MetaMask, Ethereum, and Coinbase. Ethereum to build an AI agent reputation system The ERC-8004 proposal aims to use blockchains to discover AI agents, choose, and interact across organizations, with no pre-existing screening. The goal is to create an open-ended agent economy. In crypto, AI agents are competing with mainstream launches, as in the case of Cloudflare’s Clawdbot AI . The testing trust models are tiered and will be used to protect the value at risk. Agentic tasks may range from ordering a pizza to high-stakes transfers or decisions. Even before the main net launch, the ERC-8004 proposition has brought teams working on agentic and screening solutions. ERC-8004 ecosystem map (updated) Here’s the teams building the Trustless AI Agents ecosystem 👇 pic.twitter.com/tPzUyBx4gd — Vitto Rivabella (@VittoStack) January 19, 2026 Developers will be able to choose different trust models – reputation from client feedback, validation by staking, ZK machine learning proofs, or trusted execution environment oracles. ERC-8004 can bring the AI agent tools to the main net or any L2 network in the Ethereum ecosystem. The goal is to have a way to allow free agentic activity with sufficient checks and filtering to avoid risk. AI agents may boost Ethereum activity Ethereum activity remains near an all-time high. For now, the network relies on smart contracts, bots , and some regular users. Ethereum daily activity still brings nearly 1M daily active wallets and is close to an all-time peak. AI agents were more of a novelty on all networks, relying on human input and limited operations. Most of the agents built a presence on social media, with some handling limited trading tasks. Some of the agents built a tokenized economy, but still depended on crypto market forces for their valuation . Real interest in agents is yet to peak. For now, there are early signs, such as a high bid for the agent.eth ENS address. The rise in agent creation and usage may also revive the ENS market as a reputational tool. In the past, AI agent creation has been gamified, as in Base’s AI agent wars . Agent creation has also been linked to tokenization and trading. Ethereum’s new proposal may turn AI agents from novelty and hype into part of crypto’s infrastructure, with more tools to perform useful tasks. Don’t just read crypto news. Understand it.

A leaked group chat recording captured a threat actor named “John” screensharing wallet balances and moving millions in crypto, according to findings shared by ZachXBT. The prominent on-chain investigator said John, also known as “Lick,” was caught showing off approximately $23 million in crypto during a heated argument with another threat actor in a chat group. “Band for Band” Gone Wrong The dispute reportedly turned into what cybercrime circles call a “band for band,” where people try to prove who has more money by showing wallet balances and moving funds in real time. ZachXBT said the recording shows John controlling multiple wallets and moving large amounts of crypto while the interaction was being captured. After reviewing the footage, the investigator said he traced the funds and linked the wallets shown in the recording to more than $90 million in suspected thefts. ZachXBT said he then traced the funds backward and reported that one of the wallets in the chain received 1,066 WETH on November 20, 2025. He further claimed the funds could be traced back to a wallet that received $24.9 million from a US government address in March 2024, which he said was connected to the Bitfinex hack seizure, a theft from the US government that he had previously reported in October 2024. He also said the wallet shown in the recording was tied to over $63 million in inflows from suspected victims and government seizure addresses in Q4 2025, listing several large incoming transfers in November and December 2025. The on-chain sleuth added that another 4.17K ETH worth about $12.4 million was received from MEXC and flowed into the same wallet. USMS Crypto Asset Contract and a Family Tie ZachXBT said that John had an extensive history of boasting about his net worth on Telegram and shared the account identifier tied to those messages. He also pointed to rumors circulating in cybercrime Telegram channels, which revealed John could be John Daghitia, who was previously arrested in September 2025, but acknowledged that more research would be needed to fully confirm the identity. Additionally, the investigator raised questions about how John may have gained access in the first place, while stating that John’s father owns CMDSS, a company with an active government IT contract in Virginia. ZachXBT said the firm was awarded a contract to assist the US Marshals Service in managing and disposing of seized and forfeited crypto assets, but added that it remains unclear how John may have obtained access through his father. After ZachXBT published the thread, he said John quickly changed details on his Telegram profile, including removing NFT-related usernames and updating his screen name. ZachXBT also reported that his own public ENS address was later “dusted” from one of the wallets linked to the suspected thefts.
