- Ethereum Foundation has launched a new team to integrate Artificial Intelligence (AI) with blockchain technology.
- The initiative aims to build a decentralized AI stack and support an AI-driven economy on Ethereum.
- The Foundation is hiring new staff, including an AI researcher and project manager, to expand the decentralized AI team.
- The team’s work will advance the ERC-8004 proposal, which develops a protocol for secure communication among AI agents on Ethereum.
- Other organizations are also combining AI and blockchain, increasing the adoption and applications of both technologies.
The Ethereum Foundation has announced the creation of a new research team focused on artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain. The team aims to connect Ethereum’s decentralized platform with AI applications.
Research scientist Davide Crapis said the group will develop a decentralized Ai technology stack for developers and support building an AI economy on Ethereum. According to Crapis, “Ethereum makes AI more trustworthy, and AI makes Ethereum more useful … Ethereum benefits by becoming that layer and AI benefits by escaping lock-in to a few centralized platforms.”
The decentralized AI (dAI) team will continue to work on ERC-8004, a technical proposal first authored by Crapis, Marco De Rossi, and Jordan Ellis. This proposal extends the AI agent-to-agent (A2A) protocol, creating a trust layer that helps AI agents find and interact with each other securely.
Ethereum Foundation is hiring an AI researcher and a project manager to support the new dAI team. The Foundation’s goal is to foster AI projects that link blockchain and human users. AI agents, which are programs making decisions with little human input, can operate autonomous transactions using smart contracts—a feature that has increased Ethereum’s use as a platform for advanced applications.
Analytics firm CryptoQuant reported that daily smart contract calls on Ethereum recently reached 12 million, highlighting Ethereum’s growing role in transaction settlements. CryptoQuant stated, “Ethereum’s total transactions and active addresses have reached record highs, highlighting expanding adoption across DeFi, stablecoin transfers, and token activity.”
According to blockchain and Web3 researchers, combining blockchain with AI adds decentralization, permanent records, and verified digital identities to AI systems. In 2024, Matchain announced a decentralized AI blockchain, and in early 2025, KiteAI launched an AI-driven blockchain project in the Avalanche ecosystem.
Industry leaders, including Arunkumar Krishnakumar of Kamino Finance, believe that AI agents on blockchain can change the digital economy. AI and blockchain integrations continue to shape new applications and attract interest across technology sectors.
