ERC-8183: Evaluated Agent Commerce
ERC-8183 proposes a three-party job lifecycle for onchain agent commerce where a client escrows funds, a provider submits work, and an independent evaluator determines settlement, making payment conditional on verified output rather than execution alone. The standard complements ERC-8004 by handling current-task verification at the moment of settlement, since reputation systems operate on historical outcomes and cannot assess whether a specific task meets its defined criteria. Evaluated outcomes feed back into reputation signals over time, improving agent routing and trust, with non-deterministic tasks such as research quality, trading execution, and data strategy requiring domain-specific evaluator agents to apply task-appropriate rubrics.
