Add ERC-8040: ESG Tokenization Protocol
This proposal introduces ERC-8040, a new Ethereum standard defining a framework for institutional-grade tokenization of ESG and agricultural assets. It establishes a verifiable and AI-governed model — the AgroCrypto Trust Framework (ATF-AI) — for on-chain validation of carbon credits, environmental assets, and cross-chain interoperability.
Key features
AI-governed audit and compliance layer (ATF-AI)
On-chain carbon credit and ESG asset tokenization
Interoperable metadata structure for EVM and non-EVM chains
Designed for institutional and regulatory adoption

Hello @g11tech, @lightclient, and @SamWilsn! 👋
I've just updated this PR with the requested fix - the Attestation struct is now properly defined before Metadata for better code readability (addressing the Copilot review comment).
ERC-8040 introduces an AI-native protocol for ESG-compliant asset tokenization with:
- ✅ Quantum-resistant cryptography (SHA3-512 full digest storage)
- ✅ AI-governed audit and compliance layer (ATF-AI)
- ✅ Post-quantum readiness with 512-bit security
- ✅ Clean diff: 1 file, 2 commits, 168 lines added
This proposal has been actively discussed on Ethereum Magicians and represents institutional-grade tokenization for carbon credits and environmental assets.
I'd greatly appreciate your review and feedback when you have time. Thank you! 🙏
Changes in this PR:
- Initial ERC-8040 draft with complete interface specification
- Fixed struct ordering for improved readability (latest commit)
[Follow-up from #10682 and Office Hour #74 feedback:] This is the consolidated ERC-8040 as requested by @SamWilsn (EIPs PR #10682 feedback). Implements all office hour/editor feedback from #74 and all previous iterations.
Ready for review! @poojaranjan, @g11tech, @SamWilsn
