I have 2 major points to get across:
- Please elaborate: how would funds be escrowed in this scenario? I would think that we would want to provide maximal flexibility for ways to ensure payment is paid when it’s due:
Possible mechanisms include time locks, predetermined arbitration, and staking by buyer or seller. Do these all fall under ‘crypto‑economics’?
Please explain how these mechanisms fit into the proposed ERC. I don’t understand how the ERC would enable or reference these escrow mechanisms. Probably Maybe this is already addressed and I’m missing the terminology. Could you please include a simple Solidity example (e.g., two agents ordering a pizza) showing how the ERC is used for escrowed payment? (for understandable historical reasons)? - I believe that we should not only focus on the infra, but that we need to create an ETH denominated economy in the AI agents space, just like we did with NFTs. I believe the best way forward is to create capable AI agents, who will perform valuable tasks and have them demand payment in ETH. If this takes off, we will get new agents entering the scene having to own ETH to pay other agents. This has the potential of being ETH’s next major, and possibly ultimate, network effect. We should be funding grants and bizdev to get AI agents accepting ETH for tasks.
I know it is not directly pertains to this ERC but it directly relates to the matter. Please spread the idea of you agree.
