Kinic AI has pointed to features within the Internet Computer that could enhance the way developers build on ERC-8004, a recently introduced Ethereum standard for trustless agents. In a post on X, the project outlined how three ICP primitives — threshold ECDSA, native HTTPS outcalls and direct zero-knowledge proof verification — may address some of the challenges that ERC-8004 developers face.
Threshold ECDSA, according to Kinic AI, tackles the question of cross-chain identity by allowing private keys to exist only as distributed shares, never being fully reconstructed. This enables agents to sign transactions across networks such as Bitcoin, Ethereum and other ECDSA chains, while retaining a portable identity.
The second feature is native HTTPS outcalls, which allow ICP smart contracts to call external APIs directly without the need for intermediaries such as oracles. For ERC-8004 agents, this opens up the possibility of accessing real-world data in a trustless manner, integrating with existing web services and coordinating through off-chain AgentCards.
The third capability is direct zero-knowledge proof verification, where ICP can verify JOLT-Atlas proofs natively without relying on Groth16 wrapping. Kinic AI argues that this makes ERC-8004’s validation registry more practical and efficient.
By linking these features to ERC-8004, Kinic AI is positioning ICP as a potential complementary layer for developers interested in building cross-chain, data-rich applications that rely on trustless coordination. The post ends with an open invitation to connect, reflecting the project’s focus on collaboration within the fast-moving conversation about decentralised agent architecture.
