TL;DR: Ethereum’s transaction supply chain currently relies on opaque intermediaries that raise concerns around privacy, neutrality, and centralization. TOOL (Trustless Orderflow Operations Layer) replaces this with a decentralized peer-to-peer network where operators process orderflow inside Trusted Execution Environments, providing transaction confidentiality as well as efficient and neutral…
XATA is the agentic execution layer for onchain perpetuals. Turn ideas into live positions, now across Hyperliquid, including trade.xyz, Felix, and Ventuals, as well as Aster, and Lighter. Most trading infrastructure is designed around the rigid structure of orders. These tools require you to pick a market, choose a venue, and manually set parameters, assuming that expressing a view is a simple…
TL;DR: Story adopts Automata’s DCAP Attestation to operationalize hardware trust for the agentic IP economy. By leveraging the DCAP Dashboard to automate collateral management, Story ensures its Confidential Data Rails (CDR) and autonomous AI workloads are anchored in verifiable hardware without manual upkeep or operational downtime. This sets a new benchmark for verifiable machine intelligence.…
Every year in Web3 feels fast. Some years, however, feel formative. 2025 was one of those years, where compute demand accelerated at a rapid pace, with AI as a major driver. As complex offchain systems mature and are increasingly being integrated with the onchain world, smart contracts require more visibility into the execution itself, instead of just trusting the result. At Automata, this…
TL;DR: Aligned with the Trustless Manifesto, Automata’s Proof of Build enforces verifiable software provenance onchain. Proof of Build verifies SLSA + Sigstore bundle inside a zkVM (RISC Zero Boundless, Succinct SP1, or Brevis Pico), and publishes a lightweight proof for smart contracts to validate that deployed binaries match a specific source commit and builder identity. Trustless systems, as…

TL;DR: Automata today maintains the most complete, production-ready verifier suite across Intel, AMD, and Nitro TEEs. DCAP Attestation v1.1 , deployed on over twenty networks including Optimism, HyperEVM and World Chain, adds Pico zkVM support, Quote V5 verification, and fine-grained TCB Recovery controls, along with improvements to the Attestation Explorer . Together, these form the canonical…
The age of autonomous AI agents is here, but it brings a fundamental challenge. As agents begin to manage assets and execute complex tasks onchain, the need to move beyond opaque, black-box operations has never been more urgent. This high-stakes environment demands a new trust primitive. Ethereum standards like ERC-8004 call for agents to build a verifiable, onchain reputation. Automata is excited…
TL;DR: ERC-8004 formalizes trust between agents through feedback, validation, and hardware-based attestation. Automata’s attestation SDKs use proving systems powered by Risc Zero and Succinct, while the DCAP Dashboard maintains onchain validity. Together, they enable efficient, verifiable TEEs and a path towards fully hardware-attested agents. Of the large volume of responses presented to the…
