Nava Labs exits stealth with $8.3M in seed funding co-led by Polychain and Archetype, with participation from FalconX, Hack VC, Seed Club Ventures, and angels including EigenLayer founder Sreeram Kannan. The platform builds blockchain-based verification and safety infrastructure for autonomous AI agents — think escrow, dispute resolution, and economic backstops that keep agents within user-defined boundaries from intent to settlement. Founded by ex-EigenLayer engineers and Carnegie Mellon researchers, Nava is betting that the agentic economy needs a trust layer before AI agents start managing real capital and data at scale.
