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.
Automated Stop-Loss on Uniswap V3
Built for active traders, this template monitors ETH price in real time and automatically swaps WETH into USDC when it falls below your set threshold. With balance checks, approvals, and slippage protection built in, you never have to panic-sell again.
The template includes:
- Price Trigger Node to monitor ETH against your set threshold
- Balace Checking Node to confirm available WETH before execution
- ERC20 Approve Node to authorize the swap contract to access your tokens securely
- Swap Node to execute the WETH → USDC trade on Uniswap V3
Recurring Payment with Telegram Report
Ideal for teams and power users, this template schedules recurring token transfers and delivers a detailed Telegram report after each run. From payroll to allowances, every payout is automated and confirmed directly in your chat.
The template includes:
- Schedule Trigger Node to set daily, weekly, or custom payment intervals
- Transfer Node to send tokens automatically to the recipient’s wallet
- Telegram Notification Node to deliver a detailed transaction report to your chat
Instant Telegram Alert for Token Transfers
Perfect for security-conscious users, this template tracks both incoming and outgoing wallet activity and instantly sends you a Telegram notification. Stay on top of every token movement in real time.
The template includes:
- Token Transfer Trigger that monitors your MetaMask wallet, smart wallet, or custom address
- Code Node (JavaScript) that formats transfer data into human-readable messages
- Telegram Notification Node that connects to the AP Notification Bot to deliver instant alerts
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: v1.12.0 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.
