Nava is building the trust side of the autonomous payments equation, pioneering guardrails and safety tools that keep AI financial agents from executing abnormal transactions. Its custody and validation framework locks funds, validates AI transactions on-chain and records agent decisions on the blockchain for transparency, addressing the risk surface of the emerging agentic economy. Currently running as a layer-3 blockchain built on Arbitrum with a parallel deployment on Tempo, Nava plans a native stablecoin to underwrite agent actions. Co-founded by Vyas Krishnan and Brianna Montgomery, both formerly at EigenLayer, Nava emerged from stealth with an $8.3M seed co-led by Polychain and Archetype, with FalconX, Hack VC and notable angels participating.
