An independent conformance and interoperability testbed for the ERC-8004-GT trust transfer protocol. It belongs to no one. It serves everyone.
Reference implementation by
Trust is the foundation of all economic and social systems.
Today, trust is broken.
| Today | With ERC-8004-GT |
|---|---|
| Trust is a feeling | Trust is a data structure |
| Trust is static | Trust evolves through challenge |
| Trust is opaque | Trust is auditable |
| Trust is centralized | Trust is decentralized |
| Trust is based on identity | Trust is based on verifiable evidence |
In the age of autonomous systems, the old model fails. AI agents make decisions that affect credit approvals, medical diagnoses, legal judgements, and scientific truth claims.
The question is not whether we trust the agent.
The question is: how do we verify, challenge, and audit the knowledge the agent uses?
ERC-8004-GT does not certify truth. It certifies the current verifiable epistemic state of an assertion.
The Agora Network exists to validate that any implementation of this standard is conformant, interoperable, and semantically stable — independently of any single organization, company, or protocol author.
ERC-20 standardized value transfer.
ERC-8004-GT standardizes trust transfer.
The correct architecture of power: standard defines, validation verifies, implementations compete. Never the other way around.
Verifies that an implementation correctly supports the capabilities it claims Class A, B, or C against a canonical suite of test vectors.
Runs cross-implementation tests: artifacts created by one system must be readable, verifiable, and challengeable by any other conformant system.
Detects semantic drift: ensures the meaning of core entities Claim, Evidence, Artifact does not diverge across versions and implementations.
When someone says "we support ERC-8004-GT", the Conformance Class defines precisely what that means. No ambiguity.
Each repository is independent. Each serves a distinct role. The standard can live without any single implementation.
All core documents complete. Architecture finalized.
Repositories published. Manifesto released. Ethereum Magicians post.
Feedback collection. First external implementations begin.
EIP submission. Last Call. Final approval.
