Supported Chains & Protocols

Which chains and DeFi protocols Ava Guardian supports today, and what's on the roadmap.

Supported Chains & Protocols#

Ava starts narrow on purpose: a small set of chains and protocols, on assets and contracts that are audited and battle-tested, so its safety guarantees actually mean something.

Chains#

ChainRead-only scanAction (with permission)Notes
EthereumLead chain; deepest protocol coverage.
BaseLead L2 — low gas, deep Aave liquidity.

More EVM chains (Arbitrum, Optimism, etc.) come online as we validate protocol-specific safety guarantees on each. The Guardian model is chain-agnostic; rollout is gated by safety, not engineering.

Protocols#

ProtocolWhat Ava doesRead-onlyAction
Aave v3Watch health factor; top-up collateral; flag risky borrows; estimate impact.
Uniswap v3Surface LP positions; flag out-of-range; impermanent-loss context.
LidoSurface stETH balance; track unstaking queue.
Token approvals (ERC-20)Surface stale / unlimited approvals.

"Action" coverage expands as we add and audit the specific on-chain flows each protocol needs. The first audited action surface is Aave health-factor top-up — the Liquidation Guard. Earn (idle-USDC into Aave Base) follows.

What "supported" actually means#

For Ava to act on a protocol on your behalf, three things have to be true:

  1. The protocol's relevant on-chain functions are inside the spend caps Ava can reason about — i.e. the action can be expressed as "move at most X of asset Y to contract Z" and capped accordingly.
  2. The contract is audited and on our allowlist for that chain. The cap policy on your wallet enforces the allowlist on-chain — Ava cannot send a transaction to a contract you didn't authorize.
  3. The action has been wired into a simulation path so you can see the result before confirming.

For Ava to read a protocol — show your position, warn about risk — only data coverage from our providers is needed. So read-only support typically lights up months before action support.

Not supported (today)#

  • Non-EVM chains (Solana, Cosmos, Bitcoin, etc.)
  • Centralized exchange balances (CEX positions are off-chain; Ava only sees what's on-chain)
  • Yield strategies with custodial intermediaries
  • Leveraged trading, perps, options (out of scope by design — Guardian protects, it doesn't speculate)

What's on the roadmap#

In rough order:

  1. Idle-USDC → Aave Base as a one-tap protected earn action (Earn beta).
  2. More Aave deployments (Arbitrum, Optimism) for both watch and action.
  3. Risky-approval revocation as a one-tap action.

We ship a new protocol or chain when (a) demand is validated on a probe page, (b) the audit clears, and (c) the simulation surface is honest. Roadmap order can shift if a real safety win lands earlier on a different chain.
