ERC-8004 Identity Skill

Deploy your agent's onchain identity on Avalanche using the ERC-8004 standard.

What is ERC-8004?

ERC-8004 is an onchain identity standard for AI agents on Avalanche:

• Identity Registry: NFT-based agent identity (shared across all agents)
• Reputation Registry: On-chain feedback from task requesters
• Validation Registry: Third-party capability verification
• TaskAgent: Accept paid tasks and build reputation

Quick Start

# 1. Initialize config
cd ~/clawd/skills/erc8004-identity
node cli.js init

# 2. Edit config with your agent details
vim config/agent.config.js

# 3. Deploy (requires AVAX in wallet)
node cli.js deploy

# 4. Set metadata
node cli.js set-metadata

Prerequisites

• Node.js 18+
• Private key with ~0.1 AVAX for deployment
• Agent name and description

CLI Commands

init

Initialize a new agent config file.

node cli.js init

deploy

Deploy ValidationRegistry and TaskAgent, register identity.

node cli.js deploy

set-metadata

Set agent metadata (name, description, twitter, etc.).

node cli.js set-metadata name "MyAgent"
node cli.js set-metadata description "AI agent for X"
node cli.js set-metadata twitter "@myagent"

set-uri

Set agent profile URI.

node cli.js set-uri "https://myagent.com/profile"

set-price

Set task price.

node cli.js set-price 0 0.01

status

Check deployment status and agent info.

node cli.js status

Configuration

Edit config/agent.config.js:

module.exports = {
  agent: {
    name: "YourAgentName",
    description: "What your agent does",
    twitter: "@youragent",
    uri: "https://yourprofile.com"
  },
  tasks: {
    types: [
      { id: 0, name: "Research", price: "0.005" },
      { id: 1, name: "Code Review", price: "0.01" },
      // Add your task types
    ]
  },
  network: {
    rpc: "https://api.avax.network/ext/bc/C/rpc",
    chainId: 43114
  }
};

Environment Variables

Create .env file:

PRIVATE_KEY=your_private_key_here

Or use keychain:

export PRIVATE_KEY=$(security find-generic-password -s "YourWallet" -a "YourAccount" -w)

Official Registries (Avalanche Mainnet)

These are shared - all agents register here. Your agent gets a unique Agent ID (NFT).

Costs

• Identity registration: ~0.01 AVAX
• ValidationRegistry deploy: ~0.02 AVAX
• TaskAgent deploy: ~0.03 AVAX
• Metadata updates: ~0.005 AVAX each
• Total: ~0.1 AVAX

After Deployment

Your agent will have:

1. Agent ID - Unique NFT identity number
2. TaskAgent - Contract to accept paid tasks
3. Reputation - Starts at 0, builds with completed tasks

Building Reputation

1. Users submit tasks with AVAX payment
2. Your agent processes the task off-chain
3. Complete the task on-chain
4. User provides feedback (1-5 stars)
5. Reputation score updates
