ME AI message, OpenSea has announced the launch of the Ethereum open standard ERC-8257 (Agent Tool Registry), positioning it as an “app store for AI agent tools,” enabling developers to register tools on-chain, declare access rules and pricing, and allow AI agents to autonomously discover, purchase access, and invoke tools without human intervention. OpenSea states that ERC-8257 is designed to be layered with protocols such as ERC-8004 (Agent Identity), MCP (Tool Discovery), and x402 (Payment Protocol) to form a comprehensive on-chain infrastructure for AI agent operations.
