Ava Protocol: Enabling Verifiable Execution for Agent-Driven Workflows

Ava Protocol argues that autonomous agents should not execute onchain actions directly, and that a verification layer should check their decisions first. Built as an Autonomous Verifiable Service on EigenLayer, Ava lets developers define rules, after which agents submit verdicts that a decentralized operator network checks against those rules. If a verdict is validated, Ava issues a cryptographically signed trigger and executes the action onchain, or first relays it to a human approver such as a DAO multisig or Telegram group. Operators hold economic stakes and can be slashed for misbehavior.
