Gate News, April 14 — Blockchain startup Nava has raised $8.3 million in seed funding co-led by Polychain and Archetype, according to Fortune. The company aims to prevent anomalous operations by AI financial agents through a custody and verification framework.
Nava’s solution locks funds in custody until an AI agent proposes a transaction. An on-chain verification mechanism then determines whether the transaction aligns with user intent; compliant transactions are executed, while non-compliant ones remain in custody. All verification decisions are publicly recorded on-chain for reference by other AI systems.
Nava currently operates as a Layer 3 blockchain on Arbitrum and plans to deploy a parallel chain on Tempo. The company intends to issue a native stablecoin to support protocol operations. Nava’s infrastructure targets both individual users and institutions, enhancing asset security and transaction transparency.
