Nillion Unveils Decentralized Smart Agent Verification Layer Based on ERC-8004 Standard

BlockBeats News, February 9th, Decentralized Privacy-Computing Network Nillion announced the launch of a decentralized smart agent verification layer based on the ERC-8004 standard on its Ethereum L2 network Nillion Blacklight.

Initially, Blacklight focuses on smart agent "activity attestation," where a committee of Blacklight nodes independently calls endpoints provided by smart agents, confirms a 2XX response, and subsequently records the result on-chain through decentralized consensus. The verification process consists of five steps: smart agent registration, initiation of verification request, committee assignment, node execution check, and on-chain result reporting.

Nillion states that in the future, Blacklight will evolve towards "programmable verification," supporting decentralized audits of more complex behaviors such as smart agent decision logic consistency, multi-step workflow execution, and secure constraints. ERC-8004 is an Ethereum standard for smart agent registration and verification, aiming to address the challenges of on-chain smart agent authenticity and activity attestation.
