Use Cases

One of the primary goals of Othentic is to support specialized node tasks to enable AVS’s Operators to submit unique task specifications.

Node clients can retrieve information from API, run complex ML computations, analyze transactions to prevent exploits and initiate circuit breaks, run general computations for other applications, automate on-chain and off-chain workflows, relay encrypted messages, index and query databases, propagate decentralized RPC, or run verifiable computation provers.

Here's a list of potential use cases that you can build using the Othentic Stack (updating):

Keeper Network 💂‍♀️

Level: Medium Effort Category: DeFi, Infrastructure Skillset: Backend Development, Smart Contract Development What Build Keeper Network to maintain the liveliness and healthiness of DeFi protocols. Why Keepers play a crucial role in maintaining the health of DeFi protocols by acting as incentivized parties who take advantage of arbitrage opportunities to boost the overall health of the protocol. How Nodes in the network track collateralized positions, detect the Loan-to-Value ratio of a lending position, and automatically trigger liquidations when thresholds are breached.

Intent Solver 🔍

Level: High Effort Category: DeFi, Consumer Skillset: Backend Development,Smart Contract Development,Web Scraping,Optimization, AI/ML What Build Intent Solvers Network to execute workflows under pre-defined conditions and improve end-user experience. Why "Simple" txs are limited in functionalities. Intents are the next step to improving the user experience of blockchain applications. How This architecture can be built as an AVS using Othentic. End-users submit a policy of conditions to trigger on-chain actions based on pre-defined logic. Task Performers discover intents, analyze several routes to execute them, and propose the best one. Attestations verify whether that is the most optimal and correct route and approve the process. Solvers that are inactive or attest malicious routes can get slashed to provide economic security to the user.

Reputation System 💾

Level: Low Effort Category: Consumer Skillset: Backend Development Web Scraping What Decentralized reputation system for Twitter accounts and wallets. Why (1) Billion of dollars lost in the past years due to crypto frauds. (2) Crypto Twitter (CT) signal-to-noise ratio is terrible. From scam links and grifters, inauthentic followers count and bots, to spurious project support. How Build a network with Othentic Stack, where Performers fetch user data from Twitter and on-chain interactions to develop a decentralized credibility system. The credibility score can be used to rank accounts in specific fields, spotlight malicious users, and/or distribute rewards to active community members.

Training AI/ML Models 🤖

Level: High Effort Category: AI/ML, Skillset: Backend Development,AI/ML What Build a privacy-preserving AI/ML training network. Why Training accurate AI/ML models requires a huge amount of data. Often this data is not available because the owners want to ensure privacy. For example, a new technique of training models was introduced by Google called Federated Learning. How Nodes in the network can train models locally without sharing their data which can then be aggregated to form a global model. This can be built on Othentic, where a network of Performers train models. Attestators validate the model accuracy increases in each epoch to ensure no malicious activity has occurred.

User-faced Liquidation Detectors 🚨

Level: Medium Effort Category: DeFi, Consumer Skillset: Backend Development, Smart Contract Development What Decentralized safeguard network for end-users.

What Build a developer-first access control system.

Why To simplify the implementation of complex and nuanced access control for protocols, maintaining trustlessness and verifiability.

How Developers specify complex-attestation based conditions to gate features in their protocols. Users who have certain tokens, have made certain contributions, or are whitelisted on other protocols, can unlock special features and access. Performers monitor data sources, and once conditions are met, the user is authorized to act.

Dynamic NFTs 🎮

Level: Medium Effort Category: Gaming, Consumer Skillset: Smart Contract Development,Backend Development What Build a decentralized metadata infrastructure for digital assets. Why NFTs are not just an artform that you can collect, there can also be utility tokens for access to special features, reflect in-game player progress, and much more.
