Description
Layer is a company focused on redefining the Actively Validated Service (AVS) paradigm. Their platform, WAVS (Wasi-AVS runtime), makes services easier to build and less expensive to run. It allows developers to easily build high-performance AVSs using components and templates, composing onchain and offchain actions to create dynamic and intelligent protocols. WAVS is designed to build a variety of applications, including deterministic AI agents, custom oracles, indexing, serverless functions, cross-chain bridges, ZK provers, and more. The platform aims to revolutionize areas like AI by enabling deterministic autonomous agents, leveraging Rust ZK tooling for verifiable proofs, creating dynamic oracles, and enhancing DAOs, DeFi, and user experiences through improved interoperability and chain abstraction.
