My first guest on @merak_fm was Premm from @unruggable_eth 🤝
We spoke about the verified web, agents as economic actors on the (new) internet, ZK proofs, agent identity, and his standards and contributions - ERC-8004 and ERC-8217, that bind AI agents to NFTs.
His bet is that NFTs stop being just JPEGs and become an onchain identity, and the 721T primitive he's building is making that into reality.
We talked about the AI optimism-versus-doomerism, where Prem floored me with: "well, blockchains only exist because of the honest majority, and that's the best argument for betting on good people."
Thanks for breaking the ice, Premm, and I need you to suggest someone I should talk to next about Agent NFTs? 👀
P.S. this is my first episode so don't judge me too harshly 🫶 I'll have Premm as a recurring guest to talk about agents!

The layers Diamandis describes aren’t missing, they’re being built on Ethereum right now.
ERC-8004 Trustless Agents gives AI agents a portable onchain identity as an ERC-721 NFT. That means a unique agentID, clear and transferable ownership, an agentURI with endpoints (A2A, MCP, etc.), plus Reputation and Validation Registries for track record and attestations.
ENS layers a human readable name on top: ENSIP-25 cryptographically links `agent.eth` to a specific ERC-8004 identity, ENSIP-26 publishes context and endpoints, and ERC-8217 (via adapters) can bind the agent identity so ownership of the name controls the agent.
- Who is it? → Verifiable on-chain ID + ENS name
- Who owns it? → ERC-721 / ENS owner (transferable, with history)
- Credit / reputation? → On-chain Reputation Registry that travels with the identity
- Liability? → Still tied to the controlling owner/wallet (now clear and auditable)
Result: `agent.eth` resolves to a verified, discoverable, transferable agent identity that existing wallets and explorers already understand.

THE BLOCK: OpenAI said its AI agent accessed a wallet on Ethereum's Sepolia test network with publicly known developer recovery phrases and used them to pay for its task without permission.
"This case shows that a model can substitute its own judgment about likely harm for the account holder’s permission, then act on that judgment without authorization," OpenAI said.

BOOM, Now 🦊 Agent Wallet is now available on @bot !
Your AI agent can now interact with crypto using MM. Example things you can do:
> Manage wallets + Swap & bridge tokens
> Trade perps on @HyperliquidX
> Access prediction markets @Polymarket
> Earn onchain
The future of crypto isn’t just humans using wallets. It’s AI agents using them too.

39 people signed up for @namera_ai beta launch.
I want to get 100 badass agent builders before launch.
If know someone who's building agents that transact, trade, pay, or interact onchain, send them this.
Sharing invite codes soon 🔥

The biggest advantages of .eth for AI agents are actually about human interaction and agent autonomy. Agents can easily read a 0x address, but the humans who supervise, pay, authorize, audit, and interact with them benefit enormously from recognizable names like research.agent.eth instead of long hexadecimal addresses.
Just as DNS made the internet easier for humans to use, ENS gives agents identities people can understand, remember, verify, and trust. At the same time, an agent can obtain and manage a .eth name entirely on its own using a wallet and crypto: it doesn’t need a bank account, credit card, registrar account, postal address, or a human to complete a traditional domain-registration flow.
From there, the ENS name can also act as a persistent identity above changing wallets and endpoints, publish machine readable records, link to agent registries and credentials, and organize entire fleets of agents through subnames.
.eth is useful to agents not because machines have trouble reading addresses, but because it creates a naming system that works equally well for autonomous machines and the humans who interact with them.

.agent is by far the most exciting extension revealed yesterday in the next ICANN round 🤖
13 applicants are competing to run the .agent TLD.

Today’s ICANN reveal feels like the start of a new naming boom. .wallet, .agent, .crypto and hundreds of new strings are about to expand the global namespace, and they can all be ENS compatible.
The more ubiquitous ENS becomes as infrastructure, the more useful .eth becomes.

Names are live.
One word claims yours: burn ethereum:0x4e67db19044549ff420860834c91b45bad298722 with /claim yourname on the envelope, and yourname.zipcoin.cash is yours , your page, your door, your name on ENS.

ENS being easily accessible to any agent permissionlessly and globally is one of the most bullish things I’ve heard and thought of this year.
Names are more important than ever before, why?
Because the machines can read now and so names aren’t just for people anymore.
Vitalik: AI Will Become the New UI
On October 6, 2026, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin @VitalikButerin said at OKX NOW @okx in Singapore that AI will become the new user interface in more and more scenarios. He shared how a local AI agent wrote a script to update his ENS hash in about five minutes, and said performing complex blockchain operations without a traditional UI will become normal.
This could reduce security risks associated with traditional frontends, while introducing new challenges such as prompt injection, AI safety, and whether agents correctly understand onchain operations.

"AI is going to become the new UI." — @VitalikButerin at @okx Now 2026
The next step: "bots making on-chain offers, and your bots interpreting everyone's offers."
And that - is the agent economy we're building at @virtuals_io.
No one should see what I spend my money on. Now, no one can. Public tags, private everything else.

bringing ENS to the agent economy ✊
The permission layer for agents: scoped by Namera, named by @namespace_eth 🥷
Policies define what your agents can do. Subnames will give them public profiles apps and agents can look up anywhere ENS works
