Nillion launches decentralized smart experience verification layer based on ERC-8004 standard

Foresight News reports that the decentralized privacy computing network Nillion has announced the launch of a decentralized intelligent agent verification layer based on the ERC-8004 standard on its Ethereum L2 network, Nillion Blacklight. In the initial phase, Blacklight focuses on "activity verification" of agents, where a committee composed of Blacklight nodes independently calls endpoints provided by agents and confirms 2XX responses, then records the results on-chain through decentralized consensus. The verification process consists of five steps: agent registration, initiation of verification request, committee assignment, node execution check, 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 consistency of agent decision logic, multi-step workflow execution, and security constraints.

ERC-8004 is a standard on Ethereum for agent registration and verification, aiming to address the challenges of authenticity and activity verification for on-chain agents.
