We’re excited to share several important updates that refine and enhance Ava Protocol’s automation layer, making it easier, faster, and smarter for users to build onchain workflows.
The improvements include new automation templates, AI integrations, and core infrastructure improvements. These changes address some of the most common requests we’ve heard from users: easier onboarding for common use cases, more flexible workflow logic, and better tools for building complex automations.
Each update we ship moves us closer to our vision of web3 automation that’s both intelligent and trustless, supporting systems that can execute complex logic autonomously while maintaining full verifiability.
Three Automation Templates
We’ve added three templates to the Studio’s templates library to help users automate common use cases. Each of these templates is fully editable in Studio and can be customized to meet your needs.
Token Transfer Notifications via Telegram
Get notified instantly when tokens move in or out of your wallet. This template monitors token transfers across Ethereum and other supported chains, formats them into readable messages, and sends Telegram alerts.
The template includes:
- A Token Transfer Trigger Node that monitors your MetaMask wallet, smart wallet, or custom address
- A Code Node (JavaScript) that formats transfer data into human-readable messages
- A Telegram Notification Node that connects to the AP Notification Bot to deliver instant alerts
Automated DCA on Uniswap
Build long-term positions without market timing. This template executes scheduled token purchases on Uniswap, swapping stablecoins like USDC or DAI for targeted assets on Ethereum or Base.
The template includes:
- A Schedule Trigger Node (e.g., every Monday at 10am).
- A Swap Node powered by our smart wallet and ContractWrite node.
- An Email Notification Node to confirm each swap with full transaction details.
Auto-Snipe Meme Coins on BaseSwap
Designed for fast-moving traders, this template scans new BaseSwap token listings, filters for meme-related assets with sufficient liquidity, and automatically swaps into them using your smart wallet. You’ll also get be alerted on Telegram.
The template includes:
- A Time Schedule Trigger Node that triggers every 30 minutes.
- A Rest API Node connected to a live token listing feed (e.g. BaseSwap or a custom scraper).
- A Filter Node to check contract metadata, verify liquidity thresholds, or match name/symbol patterns.
- A Swap Node to acquire the token using USDC or ETH via BaseSwap
- A Telegram Notification Node to confirm the token, amount, and swap result
AI Joins the Workflow
We’re integrating AI into Ava Protocol in two fundamental ways to expand the possibilities of onchain automation.
First, our upcoming Automation Copilot will enable users to build workflows using natural language. Instead of dragging and dropping nodes and logic, you’ll be able to describe what you want to accomplish. Whether it involves modifying an existing template or generating a new workflow from scratch, the Copilot will translate your intent into executable workflow logic.
Second, we’re embedding AI directly within workflows as a node. This means AI models will be able to evaluate data, make contextual decisions, and generate dynamic responses as native components of your onchain automations. Workflows can integrate AI nodes to analyze data, make decisions, generate content, and trigger or respond to actions without human intervention.
These capabilities align with the launch of our new Agentic Workflows pages, which explain how verifiable infrastructure can power autonomous, goal-directed systems that operate reliably across chains and smart contracts.
Stay tuned for additional AI integrations in development that we’ll be announcing in the coming weeks…
EigenLayer AVS and Workflow Upgrades
We’ve upgraded our Actively Validated Service (AVS) on EigenLayer to v1.9.1, bringing improvements to performance, security, and developer experience. If you’re an operator, please upgrade using one of the following:
Docker Hub: avaprotocol/ap-avs:latest
Source Build: v1.9.1 Release
Docs: How to set up or upgrade an operator node
What’s new in this release
Instant Node Execution: Run and test individual workflow nodes instantly, without deploying the full flow. Makes iteration and debugging much faster.
Smarter Event Triggers: Better chain-specific logic and block filtering result in faster, more accurate onchain event detection.
Built-in JavaScript Modules: Use lodash, dayjs, uuid, and other popular libraries directly in your CustomCode blocks.
Loop Node Support: Process lists, arrays, and paginated results using embedded logic. Ideal for multi-wallet, multi-transaction workflows.
Improved Job Queue Recovery: Automatically cleans up stuck or orphaned jobs for more stable execution and faster recovery.
Advanced Secret & Field Management: Dynamically show/hide inputs, manage sensitive data securely, and build more modular workflows.
These updates make Ava Protocol even more capable as a foundation for autonomous, verifiable workflows across the decentralized stack.

We look forward to seeing what you make of these new capabilities, and are grateful for your feedback and contributions as we continue building. Your input directly influences what we prioritize.
The next phase of development on Ava Protocol is already underway, and we’re excited to share more news with you soon.
