Automata

Automata is a high-performance compute protocol that empowers Web 3.0 applications and businesses with privacy-first, high assurance, and friction-less transactions. Its mission is to provide the functionalities and infrastructure necessary to realize the vision of a seamless Web 3.0 experience. It tackles the lack of transparency in data ownership, censorship, and intrusion into personal privacy.

Automata 2.0 is a modular attestation layer that extends machine-level trust to Ethereum, and analogously, Web3. Based on hardware silicon, the application-specific rollup enables on-chain verification for out-of-protocol computation.

Ethereum is the base settlement layer for Automata 2.0's attestation layer. It functions as a global verifier that anchors a global, decentralized network of attestations taking place across both hardware and software components. There are a number of emerging uses cases, including the provisioning of fairness and privacy to the RPC relay, bundled transactions through account abstraction, block building within encrypted enclaves, and more.

Automata 2.0's modular setup allows the attestation layer to work natively with any pre-existing rollup stack. These layers come together to introduce a novel Attestation Stack with highly configurable components. AltLayer, a leading Rollups-as-a-Service provider, supports Automata’s modular framework with its one-click rollup deployment.
