OpenSea releases ERC-8257: AI agents can autonomously purchase tools without any human intervention. MarketWhisper 2026-05-26 19:58:09 OpenSea announced on May 27 the launch of the Ethereum open standard ERC-8257 (proxy tool registries), positioning it as an AI agent tool app store. The reason is that current AI tools are scattered across documents, GitHub, and centralized directories, lacking an open tool registry and standardized access control. With ERC-8257 still in the draft stage, OpenSea invited developers to participate in refining the specification before the release of version 1.0. ERC-8257 確認的技術架構:四層協議的分層組合. OpenSea 在說明中確認,ERC-8257 與三個相互補充的協議構成分層組合.MCP 告知代理有哪些工具可用;ERC-8004 顯示代理身份;ERC-8257 定義如何實際使用工具;x402 處理支付流程.四層各自獨立運作且互相組合,共同構成 AI 代理的完整鏈上操作基礎設施. ERC-8257 的核心由兩個部分組成:"清單"(包含工具功能,名稱與定價資訊)和"存取謂詞"(一個回答單一問題的智慧合約:"此地址是否擁有存取權限?").謂詞可以查詢 NFT 所有權,活躍訂閱(ERC-5643),白名單,零知識證明,DAO 投票或質押閾值等鏈上狀態.OpenSea 說明,謂詞的設計模式類似於 Seaport 區域和 Uniswap v4 鉤子 - - 作為開放的可擴充點. OpenSea 說明的工具運作流程:403 到 200 的完整鏈上循環. OpenSea 在說明中提供了一個 NFT 估值工具的示範案例,完整描述了 ERC-8257 的實際運作方式.代理呼叫工具的持有者端點,謂詞回傳 403 並指示需要在 Base 上持有 CHONK NFT.代理通過 OpenSea 購買該 NFT,重試後收到 200 回應及包含低中高價格區間,置信度和可比較成交數據的完整估值報告.整個流程中沒有任何人工介入. 工具開發者可透過 @opensea/tool-sdk npm 套件建置工具,並部署至 Vercel,Cloudflare 或 Express 平台.OpenSea 確認,工具發布後可設定多種存取層級,包括 NFT 持有存取,訂閱等級,席位數量限制,以及允許存取憑證在公開市場交易.支付流程通過外部協議(x402 用於小額支付,MPP 用於計量計費)處理,ERC-8257...
