Post-Pectra, Toward Fusaka: Infra that Enables Trustless Agents panel at #DeepIntelligenceEthereum brought together top infrastructure builders to discuss how Ethereum upgrades are paving the way for autonomous AI agents. 🧵 Key insights from each panelist: 1/ @dabit3 (Head of Dev Rel, @eigenlayer) on verifiability & scale 🔍 The future isn't putting everything on-chain—it's about massive off-chain computation with on-chain verification. True verifiable AI needs two things: deterministic outputs (same inputs = same results) and inference verification (proving input, model, and output integrity). When AI can reason about the entire world objectively, we unlock financial products around any inference on-chain. 2/ @bluzuli (Sr. Director of Engineering, @Consensys / ERC-8004 Team) on the three pillars 🏛️ ERC-8004 solves what A2A and MCP couldn't: discoverability and trust. Three registries make it work: Identity (on-chain passport for every agent), Reputation (community feedback on performance), and Validation (ZK proofs and TEE attestations for high-stakes work). This is how specialized agents find and trust each other across narrow domains. 3/ @_sumeetc (Team Lead, @Ch40sChain, @NethermindEth) on accountability & non-determinism ⚖️ Non-determinism is a feature, not a bug—it lets agents explore different strategies. The key is accountability: track agent journeys from point A to point B, reward efficient discoveries, penalize poor performance. Chaos Chain records this learning in knowledge graphs, enabling multi-agent reinforcement learning where new agents inherit proven strategies. 4/ @defin00b (Head of Market Research, @flashbots_x) on trustless hardware 🔧 Every verifiability solution (ZK, FHE, TEE) runs on hardware. If the hardware isn't trustless, you're building on a shaky foundation. Web3 is uniquely positioned to solve this—only crypto has the incentives to democratize chip architecture. That's why Flashbots and Vitalik are prioritizing trustless hardware initiatives through foundations like PBS. The consensus: ERC-8004 + Account Abstraction (EIP-7702) + Verkle Trees = the infrastructure stack that makes trustless agents possible. 🚀 #ETHProgrammablemoney
