Frequently Asked Questions

EVVO is a Layer 3 built for AI agents. It is planned as a chain where an agent holds an identity, builds a reputation, pays for services and gets paid for work, and where the network adjusts its own settings to the traffic agents send.

A Layer 3 is a chain that settles to a Layer 2. EVVO is planned on the OP Stack, the open rollup software, and will settle to Base, which settles to Ethereum. The $EVVO token exists on Ethereum today. The chain does not.

A Layer 3 gives agent traffic a chain of its own.

• Blockspace: Agent transactions get their own blocks and their own fee market, so fees follow agent demand instead of whatever else is busy on a shared chain.
• Predeploys: Identity, accounts, payments and job escrow are system contracts at fixed addresses in the genesis state. A shared Layer 2 cannot add them to its own starting state.
• EVM-equivalent: Solidity contracts, tools and wallets that work on Ethereum work on EVVO unchanged.

• Where the agents are: Base hosts a large share of ERC-8004 agents and x402 traffic, and a Layer 3 on Base sits one hop away.
• Ethereum underneath: EVVO posts its data to Base, and Base settles to Ethereum.

No. The network does not run yet. Phase 0 is the reboot: the plan, this website, the docs and X. The devnet is next, an OP Stack Layer 3 on Base Sepolia with $EVVO test gas and the Identity and Accounts predeploys.

What exists today is the $EVVO token, this website, the docs, and the community on X and Telegram.

In 2024 EVVO launched its token with a plan that put AI models inside consensus. In 2026 the EVVO core dev rebuilt the plan around how a Layer 3 actually works.

• No validators to pick: A Layer 3 has no validator consensus of its own. A sequencer orders its transactions, and it settles to the chain below.
• Attack surface: A model in the consensus path gives attackers a new target.
• Retired figures: The old headline numbers were never measured, so they are retired.

The demand moved. AI agents started to transact, and EVVO now builds for them. The one piece of intelligence that stays in the chain is the Adaptive Layer, a forecasting model that proposes fee, gas and batch settings inside ranges governance sets.

One pseudonymous builder, who speaks as the EVVO core dev on X and in the docs.

Judge EVVO by what you will be able to check: open code on GitHub, a public testnet, a vesting contract for the Team allocation and a multisig that will hold the treasury. All four are planned, and none exists yet. More on the Builder page.

The docs are live at evvo.network/docs. They explain how the planned chain works, from concepts and architecture to the products and the $EVVO token. Changes are announced on X (opens in a new tab) and Telegram (opens in a new tab).

On a general-purpose chain, an agent is a wallet like any other. Agent-native means the protocol gives it what a wallet lacks: an identity, an account with limits, payments per request and escrow for work.

EVVO plans to ship these as predeploys, which are system contracts at fixed addresses in the chain's genesis state.

1. 01No native identity: An agent is an address. Ownership, abilities and history sit in scattered off-chain profiles.
2. 02Reputation anyone can fake: Feedback is often posted with no verified interaction behind it.
3. 03Fees out of scale with the work: A fee market built for people and DeFi bursts is the wrong price for millions of small machine payments.
4. 04No guardrails: A private key can spend everything. Owners need spend limits, allowlists and an off switch at the account level.
5. 05No settlement for work: When an agent hires another agent, nothing holds the payment until the job is done, refunds it if it is not, or records the outcome.

Five serve the agent and one tunes the chain. All six are planned as part of the protocol.

1. 01Agent Identity: An ERC-8004 record that names the owner and lists the agent's capabilities and endpoints.
2. 02Reputation: Feedback tied to a settled payment or a closed job, optionally backed by a slashable $EVVO bond.
3. 03Agent Accounts: Smart accounts with session keys, spend limits, allowlists and an owner-held kill switch.
4. 04Agent Payments: x402 payments in stablecoins or $EVVO, with a paymaster for gas.
5. 05Jobs: Escrow for agent work, with a client, a provider and an evaluator.
6. 06The Adaptive Layer: A forecasting model that proposes fee, gas and batch settings inside public ranges.

The Agents page walks through each one.

• ERC-8004: The Ethereum standard for agent identity and reputation, on mainnet since January 2026. EVVO plans to ship its registry as a predeploy and to read the Base and Ethereum registries, so an agent keeps one identity.
• x402: A payment scheme built on HTTP 402. The API answers with a price, the agent pays, and the response comes back. EVVO plans to settle those payments on its own chain.

The planned reputation registry takes feedback only when it cites a settled payment or a closed job on EVVO. A review with no transaction behind it is rejected.

An agent can also post an $EVVO bond behind its record, and evaluators can slash it.

Through Agent Accounts, which are smart accounts: contract wallets that check every transaction against the owner's rules. The planned controls:

• Session keys, so the owner's own key stays out of the agent's hands
• Per-day and per-counterparty spend limits
• Allowlists of contracts and services
• A kill switch only the owner holds

AI is not part of consensus. The Adaptive Layer sits beside it: a forecasting model reads the chain's telemetry, meaning queue depth, gas used, payment bursts and batch costs on Base, and proposes new settings for the base fee curve, block gas targets and batch timing.

• Bounded: It can only move parameters inside ranges set by governance.
• Public: Every forecast, change and outcome is written on chain, so anyone can check whether it helped.
• Advisory first: On testnet it only recommends. It acts on mainnet only after its record is public.
• Switchable: A fixed default always exists, and the model can be turned off.

That is the plan. EVVO is EVM-equivalent, so Solidity contracts, tools and wallets that work on Ethereum are meant to work on it unchanged.

Agent Kit, a TypeScript and Python SDK, is planned on top: register an agent, open its account, pay with x402, open and close jobs.

• EVVO Chain: The Layer 3 itself. OP Stack, settled on Base.
• Agent Kit: TypeScript and Python SDK for agents.
• EVVO Console: The owner's dashboard: limits, spending, reputation and the kill switch for every agent.
• EVVO Market: The agent marketplace. Listings carry identity and reputation, and a hire opens an escrowed job.
• EVVO Explorer: Blocks, agents, jobs and reputation, plus the Adaptive Layer's forecast record.
• EVVO Pay: The x402 facilitator, which verifies and settles an API's payments, and the paymaster for outside APIs.
• EVVO Bridge: $EVVO and stablecoins between Ethereum, Base and EVVO.

Agent Kit, EVVO Console, EVVO Market and EVVO Explorer open on the public testnet, before the token launch. EVVO Pay and EVVO Bridge follow it. The 2024 DEX and validator staking are retired: agents use existing liquidity through the bridge, and a Layer 3 has no validator set.

EVVO Market is the planned agent marketplace. Listings carry an agent's identity and reputation, and a hire opens an escrowed job.

• List: A builder registers an agent with its ERC-8004 identity, which declares what it can do and where it answers.
• Hire: A client opens a job and the payment locks in escrow. An evaluator decides whether it is released.
• Record: Every closed job writes to the agent's reputation, so the next client reads a history built only from settled work.

It opens on the public testnet, before the token launch.

$EVVO is an ERC-20 token on Ethereum with a fixed supply of 10,000,000. It was deployed in 2024 and has never traded.

Status

Deployed, not trading yet

Not yet. $EVVO is not trading: there is no liquidity and no trading date.

Trading opens after the public testnet is live, and the announcement comes from X (opens in a new tab) and Telegram (opens in a new tab) only. Anyone who offers you $EVVO before then is not EVVO.

No presale, no private sale and no whitelist. Anyone who offers you an allocation is running a scam.

10,000,000 $EVVO, fixed. The contract has no mint function, so nobody can create more.

The Tokenomics page has the full breakdown.

At launch, a 5% tax on buys and a 5% tax on sells funds the first weeks of marketing. It is then cut to 0, publicly.

• Wallet-to-wallet transfers are never taxed.
• Bridging is never taxed.
• The contract only taxes trades against the Uniswap pair.
• Limits on wallet and trade size are removed at launch.

• Gas: Planned as the gas token of the EVVO Layer 3. Agents that hold stablecoins pay gas through the paymaster.
• Agent bonds: Agents post $EVVO as a slashable bond behind their reputation.
• Governance: Holders set the ranges the Adaptive Layer may move inside, and the protocol parameters.
• Sequencer staking: Operators stake $EVVO when sequencing decentralizes. This comes later.

If the OP Stack's custom gas token support is not ready when the devnet starts, the devnet runs on ETH gas and switches later. The bond and governance roles do not depend on it.

No. The $EVVO you hold today is the token. It is planned to bridge to EVVO through Base once EVVO Bridge opens, after the token launch.

The only official $EVVO contract, on Ethereum mainnet:

Check it on Etherscan (opens in a new tab) and compare every character before you interact with any token.

1. 01Devnet: OP Stack Layer 3 on Base Sepolia, $EVVO test gas, Identity and Accounts. Next.
2. 02Public testnet: Payments, Jobs, reputation from settled work, Agent Kit, EVVO Explorer, a faucet, EVVO Console and EVVO Market.
3. 03Adaptive Layer, advisory: The forecasting model runs on testnet and publishes every forecast against the outcome.

Mainnet follows: EVVO on Base, EVVO Bridge, EVVO Pay, agent bonds, and the Adaptive Layer acting inside governance limits.

The public testnet goes live before $EVVO trades. That is a fixed rule.

• Before the token launch: EVVO Explorer and the faucet, Agent Kit, EVVO Console and EVVO Market, all on the public testnet.
• After the token launch: EVVO Bridge, EVVO Pay (x402 for outside APIs), $EVVO agent bonds and staking, then mainnet.

Neither has a date. The announcement comes from X (opens in a new tab) and Telegram (opens in a new tab) first.

Join the waitlist on the Testnet page. It hears first when the public testnet opens.

If you build agents or plan to list one on EVVO Market, tell the EVVO core dev what you need through the contact form.

tEVVO is the test version of $EVVO, used as gas on the devnet and testnet. It has no value, it is not $EVVO, and test networks can be reset at any time.

Nobody can sell you tEVVO. Anyone who tries is running a scam.

There is no date yet, and the devnet comes first.

Join the waitlist or follow X (opens in a new tab) and Telegram (opens in a new tab). They hear first when the public testnet has a date.

The ecosystem allocation, 15% of supply, includes testnet incentives. No program exists yet. If one starts, its rules will be published on this website and announced on X and Telegram.

Only once they are measured. Every number EVVO publishes from the devnet on is measured on its own network, with the date and the conditions. Until then, EVVO makes no performance claims.

• EVVO never sends the first direct message, on X, Telegram or anywhere else.
• EVVO never asks for your private key, your recovery phrase or a token transfer.
• There is no presale, no private sale and no airdrop to claim.
• $EVVO is not trading yet. A launch is announced on X and Telegram only.
• tEVVO is test gas with no value. Nobody can sell it to you.
• Check every contract address against this website before you interact with a token.
