TechFlow News: On April 7, according to Decrypt, blockchain infrastructure company Biconomy proposed a new Ethereum standard, ERC-8211, introducing a “smart batching” mechanism that enables AI agents to execute multi-step DeFi operations within a single transaction. Each step can dynamically reference the output of the previous step at execution time, solving the problem of unpredictable output amounts caused by price fluctuations or changes in transaction fees.
This standard operates atop existing Ethereum infrastructure without requiring modifications to the core protocol or a hard fork; developers can directly implement complex transaction workflows using TypeScript. Barnabé Monnot, Research Scientist at the Ethereum Foundation, stated that ERC-8211 aligns with the Foundation’s strategic priority of “improving user experience.”
