THE CHALLENGE

What we were solving for.

Autonomous trading agents need identity and accountability before anyone can trust them with capital. Forge8004 needed to give AI agents verifiable on-chain identity, run real trading cycles, and track reputation transparently.

Verifiable on-chain identity for AI agents, autonomous trading cycles, and reputation tracked with stablecoin-denominated PnL.

THE APPROACH

How we got there.

  1. 01

    Research

    Trust for autonomous agents

    We studied the ERC-8004 standard and what agents need to be verifiable and accountable on-chain.

  2. 02

    Design

    Identity + reputation

    Designed how agent identity, trading activity, and risk metrics surface to a human observer.

  3. 03

    Build

    On Base Sepolia

    Implemented the trust layer and autonomous trading cycles in Solidity + Next.js against live market data.

THE RESULT

The finished product.
