Two Years, Two Plans
Why the 2024 plan was retired, and what replaced it.
EVVO deployed its token on Ethereum and published a concept that put AI models inside consensus, to forecast load, pick validators and set block timing. The website, X and Telegram went live.
The work went into architecture and design, and into checking the plan against how a Layer 3 runs. On X, posts under the first concept continued until January 2026.
- A Layer 3 does not run its own validator consensus. It orders transactions with a sequencer and settles to the chain below it.
- A model in the consensus path is an attack surface, not a feature.
- The headline figures for throughput, finality and AI confidence were never measured. They are retired.
Agents started to transact. ERC-8004 gave Ethereum a standard for agent identity and reputation, and x402 lets agents pay for APIs over HTTP. The rails exist. A chain built around them does not. EVVO rebuilt the plan as an agent-native Layer 3 on Base.
The name and the token stay. The intelligence moved out of consensus and into the agents.
