The Ethereum Foundation is advancing the dAI2026 roadmap, with ERC-8004 and x402 as key focuses.

On November 11th, Davide Crapis, head of the EF dAI Team, announced that he is working with the Ethereum Foundation (EF) management to develop the dAI Team 2026 roadmap. The goal is to build Ethereum into a global decentralized settlement and collaboration platform for AI, enabling autonomous intelligent agents to interact with identities, assets, and data under publicly auditable rules. Crapis also expressed gratitude to the expanding community surrounding the ERC-8004 and x402 protocols, stating that these two standards are becoming neutral guidelines for "agentic commerce," and solicited advice from teams building related applications on areas for future support.
