Nillion Launches ERC-8004 Smart Agent Verification Layer on L2 Network Blacklight

Odaily News Decentralized privacy computing network Nillion has announced the launch of a decentralized smart agent verification layer based on the ERC-8004 standard on its Ethereum L2 network, Nillion Blacklight.

In the initial phase, Blacklight focuses on "liveness verification" for agents. A committee composed of Blacklight nodes independently calls the endpoints provided by agents and confirms a 2XX response, subsequently recording the results on-chain through decentralized consensus. Its verification process consists of five steps: agent registration, verification request initiation, committee assignment, node execution checks, and on-chain result reporting.

Nillion stated that in the future, Blacklight will evolve towards "programmable verification," supporting decentralized audits of more complex behaviors such as the consistency of agent decision logic, multi-step workflow execution, and security constraints. ERC-8004 is an Ethereum standard for agent registration and verification, aiming to address the challenges of authenticity and liveness verification for on-chain agents.
