Making Agent Identity Practical With ERC-8004 on BNB Chain

TL;DR * ERC-8004 gives autonomous agents verifiable, portable identity, allowing them to operate beyond single apps or platforms. * This makes AI tools more reliable, competitive, and user-controlled, because behaviour and reputation can be verified onchain. * BNB Chain makes this practical at scale, with low fees, fast transactions, and infrastructure designed for frequent agent activity. For most of the internet, software has worked in a familiar way. You open an app, log in, and use it.
