Nillion launches decentralized intelligent verification layer based on ERC-8004 standard

BlockBeats News, February 9 — Decentralized privacy computing network Nillion announced the launch of a decentralized intelligent experience verification layer based on the ERC-8004 standard on its Ethereum L2 network Nillion Blacklight.

In the initial phase, Blacklight focuses on “activity verification” of agents, where a committee composed of Blacklight nodes independently calls endpoints provided by the agents and confirms 2XX responses. The results are then recorded on-chain through decentralized consensus. The verification process includes five steps: agent registration, verification request initiation, committee assignment, node execution check, and on-chain result reporting.

Nillion stated that in the future, Blacklight will evolve toward “programmable verification,” supporting decentralized auditing of more complex behaviors such as agent decision logic consistency, multi-step workflow execution, and security constraints. ERC-8004 is a standard on Ethereum for agent registration and verification, aimed at solving the authenticity and activity verification challenges of on-chain agents.
