Nava AI | Trust Infra for the Agentic Economy
AI agents are trading, lending, and staking with real money, unverified and unaccountable. Nava's verification layer sits between every agent decision and onchain execution, catching intent misalignment, parameter errors, and adversarial inputs before funds move. Read the full whitepaper.
Verification infrastructure for the agentic economy
AI agents are already trading, lending, staking, and executing complex DeFi strategies with real money. The problem is not that they lack capability. The problem is that nothing currently verifies whether what an agent executes actually matches what it was told to do. One misread instruction, one decimal error, one adversarial input, and funds are gone with no record of what happened.
Nava sits in that gap. Between the agent's decision and its execution. Before funds move.
The core engine, the Arbiter, uses a Graph-of-Thought verification framework to decompose every proposed transaction into a structured set of checks: intent alignment, protocol safety, parameter validity, and adversarial detection. Every node in the graph produces an auditable result. The full reasoning trail is posted onchain. Only transactions that pass verification proceed to execution.
This research has been peer-reviewed and accepted at NDSS 2026.
The core infrastructure will be available for testing soon: Uniswap protocol policies & verification support, the Arbiter verification engine; a TypeScript or Python SDK with API-key gated agent registration; and testnet transaction logging as the onchain audit layer. The full execution and escrow lifecycle, expanded protocol support and mainnet data logging will be available in future releases beyond that.
The longer-term roadmap builds the full financial stack on top of this verification foundation: payment facilitation, chargeback infrastructure for agent-to-service payments, and NavaUSD as a payment-grade stablecoin with native dispute resolution. The verification layer is the foundation. Everything else compounds on top of it.

Auditable LLM Arbiter for DeFi Security
The gap between what you tell an agent and what it actually executes onchain is real, exploitable, and unsolved. Nava's Arbiter combines deterministic rules with semantic reasoning to verify intent-to-transaction alignment before funds move. Peer-reviewed at NDSS 2026.
Nava x Archetype
Archetype is co-leading Nava's $8.3M seed round. Their bet: that accountability infrastructure for AI agents is as critical as the agents themselves. Nava builds the verification layer that keeps onchain agents safe without limiting what makes them powerful.
Ethereum as AI's economic layer | What the stack still needs
As AI agents move from generating text to managing capital, the stack needs more than settlement rails. It needs verification. Nava builds the accountability layer that makes autonomous agents trustworthy enough to operate inside Ethereum's economic infrastructure.
