2. Key Meeting Highlights

About Kwame

  • A software engineer who works full time in the Ethereum space.
  • Has been involved with Stack since 2020.
  • Created an Ethereum standard ERC-8001 - a framework for allowing AI agents to communicate with each other without any trusted intermediaries.
  • Kwame’s Github https://github.com/kbryan.

AI Agent Standard SIP Introduction - by Kwame

  • Kwame presented the ”Agent Coordination Framework” SIP proposal, focusing on agent coordination and intent execution - A SIP for the Stacks ecosystem inspired by ERC-8001.
  • Standard focuses on agent coordination and intent execution
    • Agents agree on rules → deposit funds → execute tasks.
    • Gaming example: players deposit $100 worth of sBTC, agree to game rules, winner determined by execution autonomously.
  • Emphasized the framework’s ability to enable cross-chain communication without trusted intermediaries.
  • Highlighted the complementarity with ERC-8004 for agent discovery and reputation.

Why Stacks Is a Strong Fit for AI Agents

  • Timing is ideal post-Nakamoto - Stacks no longer suffers from slow blocks.
  • Performance now comparable to major Ethereum L2s.
  • sBTC provides a native Bitcoin bridge for agents needing strong settlement or BTC-backed logic.
  • Clear cross-chain value proposition:
    • Bitcoin yield + dual stacking opportunities here
    • Wrapped L1 tokens with BTC-anchored security
  • Expected builder audiences:
    • DeFi automation
    • Next-generation gaming
    • AI commerce
    • Autonomous infra tooling

AI Agent Infrastructure – Coordination Needed

  • Multiple Stacks teams (LunaCrush, ZeroAuthority, Whobuddy’s AI BTC) are already building AI agent systems, creating a risk of fragmentation.
  • Strong alignment that Stacks needs a shared standard, with this SIP proposal positioned as a unifying baseline for cross-chain agent coordination.
  • Clear marketing opportunity around AI + Bitcoin, with hackathons and grants viewed as effective ways to attract external agent-focused developers.

Reputation & Verification Challenges

  • ZeroAuthority is exploring early solutions for authenticating agents, including:
    • Human vs. AI differentiation
    • “Digital doubles” (e.g., verifying a trusted HeroGamer’s cloned agent, who HeroGamer approves)
    • Business/employee agent verification
    • On-chain or social “verified AI agent” badges
  • Cross-chain communication standards will be essential as agents may eventually develop their own coordination or consensus patterns. Early standardization improves safety and interoperability.

:speech_balloon: Speaker Insights

  • Kwame: Emphasized the potential of the ERC-8001 standard (and Stacks equivalent) to revolutionize cross-chain AI agent communication, fostering interoperability and coordination across blockchains, which can drive innovation in decentralized applications.
  • HeroGamer: Highlighted the importance of community-driven SIP and effective governance in creating a collaborative environment, essential for the successful adoption and implementation of new standards like ERC-8001.
  • Haddy: Stressed the need for communication standards to unlock growth opportunities in AI and DeFi, noting that Stacks’ integration with Bitcoin positions it uniquely to attract developers interested in cross-chain solutions.

Thanksgiving Special: Expressions of gratitude from each speaker

  • Kwame: Thanked Hero and Haddy for their support in introducing the ERC-8001 proposal to the Stacks community and appreciated the community’s engagement.
  • HeroGamer: Expressed gratitude to Kwame for his proposal and thanked the SIP Deputies, Haddy and Peace, for their effective governance Deputyship and support of SIP authors.
  • Haddy: Thanked Hero for mentorship, Peace for collaboration in governance, and acknowledged the efforts of the Zero Authority team and SIP authors for their contributions to the Stacks ecosystem.

This is an excellent rundown of our conversation. I’m very grateful for the opportunity for Ethereum and Stacks to work closely together on joint standards.
