Current AI agents are trapped offline—users have to hunt them down through search engines and manual discovery. That's the bottleneck.

The real fix? A decentralized registry that makes agents inherently discoverable on-chain. This is where ERC-8004 steps in.

ERC-8004 isn't just another standard. It's reshaping the entire Agent Economy by creating a protocol layer where agents become first-class citizens on blockchain networks. BNB Chain has been heavily invested in this direction, building infrastructure to support agent discovery and interoperability at scale.

Hmm... finally someone has explained it thoroughly. The offline setup indeed hits a bottleneck.

NGL, this theory sounds quite grand, but is the agent economy really ready... ERC-8004 actually addresses the problem discovery, but what about credibility? Everyone's talking about on-chain discovery, but who guarantees that these agents aren't just IQ tax?

Someone should have said this earlier; the AI Agent being stuck offline is indeed a big pitfall.
