An AI agent can have an identity and still have too much power.
The part of @Brickken’s ERC-8226 approach I find strongest is the focus on authority.
ERC-8004 provides an identity registry for agents, while ERC-8226, currently a Draft, focuses on a different question:
What is this agent actually authorized to do?
A mandate can define:
- The actions an agent can perform
- Financial limits
- How long the authority remains active
- When the mandate can be revoked
- The assets and conditions covered by that authority
ERC-8226 also defines a model where the regulated asset can verify the agent’s mandate before an agent initiated action. Asset eligibility and agent authority remain separate checks.
That separation matters.
AI agents can handle execution, but regulated markets still need a verifiable record of who authorized the action and within what limits.
@Brickken is working on that mandate layer through ERC-8226.
