This partnership will establish the first AI x Web3 Lab at Stanford University's Future of Digital Currency Initiative.
Stanford University's Future of Digital Currency Initiative (FDCI) and Eliza Labs, developer of the open-source Eliza agent framework, today announced a new project to explore how autonomous AI agents will transform digital currency systems. Announcing a groundbreaking research partnership. The collaboration, scheduled to begin in the first quarter of 2025, will combine Stanford University's expertise in digital currency research with Eliza Labs' cutting-edge capabilities in autonomous agent development.
Leveraging Eliza Labs' open source Eliza framework for autonomous agent development, this partnership explores how AI agents can establish trust, coordinate actions, and make decisions within decentralized financial systems. We will be tackling this fundamental problem. This research comes at a critical time when autonomous agents are increasingly impacting economic systems and financial services, and the Eliza framework provides a proven foundation for developing reliable and scalable agent-based systems. I will.
“This collaboration represents a unique opportunity to shape how AI agents interact within the digital economy,” said Professor Dan Bohnet and Professor David Maziere, who oversee the research fellowship program. “FDCI’s established infrastructure combined with Eliza Labs’ multi-agent systems expertise puts us at the forefront of this innovative technology.” AI agents are shaping the future of financial systems. This is a prestigious program for digital currency research that explores how it can be reshaped,” said Shaw Walters, founder of Eliza Labs. Stanford University's academic rigor with the widely used Eliza AI agent framework to promote trust and governance in decentralized economies. ” The research program will be rolled out in three phases throughout 2025 and will focus on three core areas: Agent Trust Mechanisms: Developing a new framework for how autonomous agents establish trust within digital currency networks based on Eliza Labs' existing agent trust architecture. Multi-agent economic systems: Investigating how agents interact and coordinate in economic contexts. Decentralized agent governance: Creating new protocols for managing autonomous agent communities This work will produce open source frameworks, simulation platforms, and practical applications in automated market-making systems and decentralized financial services. Early-stage discoveries and developments are shared through peer-reviewed publications and industry presentations.
The partnership is actively seeking select industry collaborators to provide early access to emerging technologies and direct involvement in shaping the direction of research. For venture companies and blockchain infrastructure partners, this means an opportunity to be at the forefront of agent technology development while accessing new technical talent in the field.
Research results include a new trust framework for autonomous agents, a scalable multi-agent coordination protocol, and a formal model for agent governance in distributed systems. These developments aim to establish fundamental standards for agent interaction in the digital economy.
