Agentic EoR (Employer / Entity of Record)
An Agentic EoR (Employer of Record or Entity of Record) is a legal, financial, and cryptographic intermediary that acts as the accountable legal counterparty when an autonomous software agent dispatches work, hires human contractors, enters service contracts, or settles cross-border payments. In the agentic web (Step 9 (Account)), also known as Agentic Employer of Record, Agentic Entity of Record, Agent Liability Wrapper, Agentic…, it is implemented or referenced by ERC-8004: Trustless Agents, ERC-8183: Agentic Commerce, ERC-8226 Regulated Agent Mandate, Verifiable Intent, Visa Trusted Agent Protocol.
Account An Agentic EoR (Employer of Record or Entity of Record) is a legal, financial, and cryptographic intermediary that acts as the accountable legal counterparty when an autonomous software agent dispatches work, hires human contractors, enters service contracts, or settles cross-border payments [1]. Because an AI agent is not a legal person, enterprises and labor marketplaces cannot transfer statutory obligations—such as worker classification, payroll tax withholding, KYB/AML screening, or error-and-omission liability—onto an unanchored software process [1]. An Agentic EoR bridges this gap by binding an agent's cryptographic identity and delegation chain (Know Your Agent, ERC-8004) to a registered legal entity, enforcing spending and compliance mandates (ERC-8226, Verifiable Intent, VCAP) and executing escrow or invoice settlement (ERC-8183, x402) on behalf of the human or corporate principal [2][3].
