Abstract This article translates and analyzes the ERC-8004: Trustless Agents proposal (draft version), which adds a “trust layer” on top of the existing Agent-to-Agent (A2A Protocol), enabling participants to discover, select, and interact with agents in cross-organizational contexts without pre-existing trust. It introduces three lightweight and on-chain registries: Identity, Reputation, and Validation; while delegating application-level logic details to off-chain components. Original Proposal: ERC-8004 on EIPs Motivation The existing A2A Protocol already covers agent authentication, skill announcement via AgentCard, direct messaging, and complete task lifecycle collaboration. Its adoption by major tech companies demonstrates clear market demand. ...

Re-imagining content × social × commerce—all on-chain Coinbase has rebranded Coinbase Wallet to Base App, sparking lively debate across X. This article unpacks the strategy behind the move and the wider ecosystem play. “When open protocols let identity, assets, and content snap together, the next super app won’t belong to a single company—it will belong to the chain.” 1 Why an “on-chain super app” makes sense now Demand already proven in Web2. WeChat, LINE, and Grab showed that bringing high-frequency use cases under one roof—then adding payments and identity—creates a powerful moat. Blockchain offers a native edge. Portable social graphs, assets, and histories remove platform lock-in and allow cross-app and cross-chain flywheels. Cheaper, faster infrastructure. Rollups, modular data-availability layers, and EIP-4844 have pushed typical transaction costs down to fractions of a cent. All pieces finally connect. When on-chain identity, payments, social, and creator tools live in one stack, the ceiling for user experience and scale rises well above today’s Web2 super apps. 2 Performance leaps open the door ...

Recently, I’ve been exploring Bitcoin network and came across an intriguing project called the Liquid Network. Developed by Blockstream, its goal is to provide instant Bitcoin transactions and support additional features. This article will introduce the basic concepts of the Liquid Network, along with its advantages and applications. Background Why Are Sidechains Necessary? Network Congestion As the number of Bitcoin users increases, so does the transaction volume. However, Bitcoin’s block size is limited, and each block can only accommodate a finite number of transactions. This leads to delays in transaction confirmations and rising fees. ...
