We built AP Studio to automate DeFi flows for power users, and hundreds of them used it. But our goal has always been more ambitious: bringing those power functions to everyone who uses DeFi.
We want millions of crypto users to benefit from automation, and now from AI. So over the past year, we set out to build something simpler: an AI that helps you manage the wallet and DeFi positions you already have.
After months in private beta, that work ships today: Ava’s AI DeFi Guardian is now generally available.
If you hold real money on-chain, Ava watches it around the clock, explains what matters in plain English, and helps you act before something goes wrong. Right in Telegram.
Why Ava
- Protect your existing wallets.
- Everything in one Telegram chat.
- Works with ChatGPT, Claude, and any MCP-compatible AI app.
- Security you can verify, on-chain.
Here’s what that means in practice.
Protect your existing wallets, not another agent wallet
A lot of crypto agents start by asking you to create another wallet, fund it, and move part of your portfolio into a separate account controlled by the agent.
Ava starts with the opposite assumption: your existing wallet is the center of your DeFi life. The AI should help you manage it, not replace it.
To be clear: Ava has a bounded smart account too, for auto mode. The difference is that you never start there, you never have to use it, and only what you choose to fund ever sits in it. Your main wallet is never the thing you hand over.
It starts read-only and non-custodial. Connect a wallet, or simply paste an address, and Ava maps your positions, health factors, approvals, and on-chain activity.
There’s nothing to sign to get value on day one. No new wallet to create. No funds to migrate.
Ava then keeps watching the things that hurt when nobody’s looking:
- Liquidation risk. It watches your Aave health factor and liquidation distance and warns you before risk gets serious, not after. When a position drifts toward danger, you get a heads-up in Telegram and Ava helps you respond.
- Risky approvals and scams. Ava continuously re-scans your holdings and approvals, flags risky allowances and contracts, and screens addresses and links before you sign.
- Signal over noise. It turns raw on-chain activity into a plain-English summary of what changed, why it matters, and what you may want to do next.
Borrow, trade, and manage DeFi. All in one Telegram chat.
DeFi today means jumping between wallets, lending apps, DEXs, dashboards, block explorers, approval tools, and notification bots.
Ava brings the workflow into one conversation.
Ask what happened to your portfolio. Check your liquidation risk. Revoke an approval. Repay a loan. Swap an asset. Manage a position. Set a standing instruction.
You don’t need another dashboard open just to understand what is happening and decide what to do.
When it’s time to act, you choose how execution works:
- Manual mode. Ava prepares the transaction for your existing wallet. You review and sign it yourself. Every action carries your signature, so nothing moves without you.
- Auto mode. For standing instructions like “if my health factor drops too low, repay from USDC,” you can optionally create a dedicated smart account and fund only what Ava may use. Your existing wallet stays where it is. Ava executes within the limits you set: which contracts, how much, until when. You can pause or revoke those permissions anytime, and gas on auto-mode actions is sponsored by Ava. Your main wallet is never delegated.
Under the hood, auto mode is built on open Ethereum standards: ERC-4337 account abstraction for the smart account and ERC-6900 modular session permissions for the limits. It is not a private key handed to a bot.
Use Ava from Telegram, ChatGPT, or Claude
Telegram is where Ava lives today, but we don’t think DeFi should be locked inside one AI interface.
Ava’s capabilities are exposed through MCP (Model Context Protocol), the open standard AI assistants use to connect external tools. Both ChatGPT and Claude support it. Add Ava as a connector, and the assistant you already use can read your positions, check your liquidation risk, and flag risky approvals, powered by the same engine as Ava in Telegram.
The important part is what does not change: the authorization layer. Whichever AI you talk to, reads are read-only, manual actions still require your signature in your own wallet, and auto mode stays inside the funded account and its on-chain limits. The interface is interchangeable. The security boundary is not.
The intelligence can live wherever you want. Your wallet remains yours.
Security you can verify
A product that can move funds on-chain has to earn trust structurally, not ask for it.
That’s why Ava’s security model starts with boundaries you can see and verify:
- Your main wallet is untouchable without you. Ava holds no keys. In manual mode, the authorization is your signature. There is no path for Ava to act on your main wallet alone.
- Auto mode has a hard, visible blast radius. The worst case is capped at what you funded, the contracts you allowed, the amounts and expiry you set. Those limits are enforced on-chain by the smart account itself, not by a policy we promise to follow. You can revoke them at any time.
- Everything is screened and simulated first. Before a transaction reaches you or executes, Ava simulates it and screens recipients, contracts, and links against live scam intelligence, the same checks it continuously runs over your approvals.
The point is not that you should trust an AI with your wallet.
The point is that you shouldn’t have to.
Ava helps you manage the wallet you already use. Manual actions still require your signature. Automated actions stay inside an account you fund, within limits enforced on-chain.
Your wallet. Your rules. Your AI.
