This topic is for discussion of a new Ethereum ERC draft titled:
Secure Intents: A Cryptographic Framework for Autonomous Agent Coordination
Abstract:
This ERC proposes a cryptographic framework that enables autonomous agents to coordinate securely without relying on trusted intermediaries. The framework introduces a structured “Secure Intent” format that combines encrypted payloads, temporal validity constraints, digital signatures, and metadata. This structure ensures authenticity, integrity, confidentiality, and replay protection across chains and systems.
It is designed for use in:
- Cross-chain arbitrage or DeFi agent strategies
- AI coordination protocols and secure agent tooling
- Agentic in-game NPCs
- Web3 game tournament payout systems
- Secure on-chain execution of pre-authorised instructions
The full draft is available here:
ERC-8001
This thread is intended for:
- Feedback on cryptographic structure and primitives
- Thoughts on EIP-712 integration and metadata schema
- Considerations for implementation in smart contracts, wallets, or cross-chain bridges
- Security, gas cost, or UX concerns
All constructive input is welcome.
