The Ethereum Foundation has released its dAI roadmap for 2026, spearheaded by Davide Crapis and focusing on enhancing decentralized AI infrastructure. The roadmap emphasizes the development of emerging standards like ERC-8004 and x402, which are expected to drive market adoption for autonomous agent systems, ultimately impacting the value of Ethereum (ETH) and related protocols.
Davide Crapis has played a key role in this initiative, collaborating with leadership to establish a clear vision for the future of decentralized AI on Ethereum. The roadmap highlights his commitment to public, verifiable standards for agentic commerce, emphasizing the need for developer feedback to guide further development.
The project aims to transform the landscape of agentic commerce by providing a robust platform for AI-driven systems. Initial responses from related protocol communities have been positive, demonstrating the potential growth of this initiative.
While specific funding details remain undisclosed, the roadmap suggests future grants and collaborations could emerge in line with these developments. The adoption of protocols like ERC-8004 is expected to bolster Ethereum’s dominance in the decentralized AI space.
Ethereum’s community actively engages through an open feedback process on official platforms. As collaborations advance, Ethereum’s position as a foundational layer could further stimulate ecosystem activities and potentially drive financial benefits for developers and investors alike.
