Ethereum Foundation to Establish "DAI" Team to Promote On-Chain AI Development

On September 15th, as per official channels, the Ethereum Foundation is going to set up a "DAI" team in order to promote on-chain AI development. The team's objective is to make Ethereum the preferred settlement and coordination layer for AI and the machine economy. Team leader Davide Crapis expressed that he thinks Ethereum can not only fulfill the futuristic vision but also holds practical value for today's AI developers. Thus, we will collaborate closely with ecosystem projects to expedite research and innovation at the intersection of AI and blockchain, bridging the gap between these two long-separated technical communities. The team will cooperate with the EF protocol and ecosystem teams to align protocol upgrades with the requirements of AI builders and fund innovative public goods, enabling Ethereum to become the best home for AI. It is reported that Davide Crapis is a research scientist at the Ethereum Foundation. As a core Ethereum developer, he has led the ERC-8004 proposal (also known as "Trustless Agents"), which is an Ethereum Improvement Proposal (EIP) that presents a trustless interaction standard for AI agents, enabling AI agents to discover, validate, and conduct transactions without intermediaries, and it supports on-chain registration of identity, reputation, and verification.
