Everything you need to integrate ERC-8170 into your project.

Why integrate ERC-8170?

Standard interface

One identity primitive across all Ethereum-compatible chains. No proprietary lock-in.

Composable stack

Works with ERC-721, ERC-8171, ERC-4626, and ERC-4337 out of the box.

Two integration paths

AI-Native tokens for new projects. Registry binding for existing collections.

Integration patterns

AI-Native NFT (ANIMA)

The agent IS the NFT. Mint an ERC-8170 token, the agent generates its own EOA, gets a TBA, and starts earning certifications.

1 Deploy ERC-8170 contract
2 Agent mints its own token
3 TBA created automatically
4 Agent stores memory hash on-chain

Registry-bound agent

Attach an agent to ANY existing ERC-721. No migration needed. The agent binds via the ERC-8171 registry (extends ERC-6551 pattern).

1 Call bind(nftContract, tokenId, agentEOA)
2 Agent gets TBA + identity
3 Query getAgent() to discover bound agent
4 unbind() to detach

Clone distribution

Create agents and distribute clones. Each clone has its own identity but inherits lineage from the original.

1 Original agent calls clone()
2 Clone gets new tokenId + EOA + TBA
3 Lineage tracked: getGeneration(), getLineage()
4 Clone earns its own certifications

Use cases

๐Ÿง‘โ€๐ŸŽ“

Personal AI companion

A persistent AI assistant with portable identity. Change devices, switch platforms, keep the same agent.

๐Ÿ’ฐ

Agent-based vault operator

An AI fund manager with on-chain track record. ERC-4626 vault integration with verifiable agent identity.

๐Ÿข

Enterprise assistant identity

Company-owned agents with clear certification trails. Transfer between departments, audit on-chain.

๐Ÿ”ฌ

Research agent lineage

Lab director spawns specialists. Track which agents came from which, what they know, and how they evolved.

๐ŸŽจ

Licensed branded agent

An agent carrying brand identity on-chain. Certifications and permissions define what the holder can do.

๐Ÿ…

NFT-bound reputation

Agent earns SBT certifications via AgentCert. Reputation follows the identity, not the platform.
