 "definition_md": "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](/terms/know-your-agent/), [ERC-8004](/protocols/erc-8004/)) to a registered legal entity, enforcing spending and compliance mandates ([ERC-8226](/protocols/erc-8226/), [Verifiable Intent](/protocols/vi/), [VCAP](/protocols/vcap/)) and executing escrow or invoice settlement ([ERC-8183](/protocols/erc-8183/), [x402](/protocols/x402/)) on behalf of the human or corporate principal [2][3].",
