Blockchain company Biconomy has proposed the new Ethereum standard ERC-8211, allowing AI agents to perform multi-step DeFi operations within a single transaction, dynamically referencing step outputs to address issues caused by price volatility. This standard can run on existing Ethereum networks without requiring core protocol modifications and aligns with the Ethereum Foundation's user experience improvement strategy.

Deep Tide TechFlow message, April 07, according to a report by Decrypt, blockchain infrastructure company Biconomy has proposed a new Ethereum standard, ERC-8211, introducing a “smart batching” mechanism that allows AI agents to complete multi-step DeFi operations within a single transaction. Each step can dynamically reference the output result of the previous step at execution time, addressing the problem that the output amount cannot be predicted due to price volatility or changes in fees.

This standard runs on top of existing Ethereum infrastructure and does not require modifying the core protocol or performing a hard fork. Developers can implement complex transaction workflows directly using TypeScript. Ethereum Foundation research scientist Barnabé Monnot said that ERC-8211 aligns with the Foundation’s strategic priority of “improving user experience.”
