AVS is:
Complex system designed for a unique computing purpose.
Decentralized system that runs its own validator set.
Proof of Stake (PoS) network.
The AVS protocol requires an infrastructure to execute off-chain computational tasks, reach on-chain agreements on arbitrary tasks, submit and audit the Operators' work, deploy customized business logic, propagate internal and cross-chain messaging, configure governance rules, define registration policies, and distribute rewards and penalties based on attestations.
The Othentic Stack allows developers to self-deploy (1) customized off-chain execution and (2) a network of Operators that run and verify arbitrary tasks.
The Othentic Stack is designed to balance cost-efficiency, security, and high throughput by leveraging both L1 and L2 layers.
L1: The governance layer is deployed on L1 to ensure the highest level of security, integrate with the shared security protocol contracts, and manage critical governance operations.
L2: The task verification layer is deployed on L2 to minimize operational costs while maintaining availability, high throughput, and low latency. L2s provide a faster and cost-effective environment for handling task submissions and attestations. A single AVS can operate in multiple L2 networks.
This design ensures a scalable and efficient AVS while optimizing for cost and performance.
AVS teams are required to develop two services: the Execution Service and the Validation Service, which can be implemented in any programming language.
executes the and generates a Proof of Task. Once the task is successfully completed, the node publishes the results via peer-to-peer networking for to discover.
validate a task via a quorum that votes on the validity of the executed task; each task must be attested as either "valid" or "invalid". The scheme allows the execution and validation of any type of service, providing a foundation for a wide range of applications.
