Powering AVA with Covalent: Structured Multi-Chain Data for Smarter Web3 AI Agents
OnFinality integrates Covalent as a structured multi-chain data source for AVA, enabling AI agents to access reliable on-chain insights across 130+ networks for smarter, blockchain-aware responses.
AI agents in Web3 cannot rely on documentation alone. They require live, structured, and reliable blockchain data to deliver meaningful responses.
As projects expand across ecosystems, on-chain information becomes fragmented. Wallet activity exists on one chain, token transfers on another, NFTs elsewhere. Without a unified data layer, AI agents risk providing incomplete or generic answers.
To make AVA truly blockchain-aware, OnFinality integrates Covalent as a structured multi-chain data source. This allows AVA to access production-grade on-chain data across supported networks, transforming it from a documentation assistant into a data-native Web3 AI agent.
With RPC, indexing, and AI infrastructure unified under one platform, OnFinality continues building the intelligent infrastructure layer for Web3.

Why Covalent?
Covalent is a multi-chain blockchain data provider that delivers structured, queryable on-chain data through a unified API at the lowest latencies.
Instead of forcing developers to parse raw blockchain logs or build custom indexers, Covalent aggregates and standardizes data across 100+ networks. This includes:
- Wallet balances and token holdings
- Transaction history and transfers
- NFT ownership and metadata
- DeFi protocol positions
- Historical blockchain activity
By transforming raw blockchain data into structured datasets, Covalent enables developers to build analytics dashboards, portfolio trackers, DeFi tools, and data-driven applications without managing complex data infrastructure.
For AI agents, this structured layer is critical. Clean, normalized, and multi-chain data makes intelligent responses possible. Low latency and high fidelity of data ensures that inference and agentic outcomes are of high quality.
How OnFinality is Using Covalent for AI Agent AVA
AVA is designed to operate inside Discord and Telegram communities, answering questions about infrastructure, products, and ecosystem activity.
With Covalent integration, AVA becomes on-chain aware.
1. Real On-Chain Context
Instead of responding solely from documentation, AVA can incorporate structured blockchain data into its reasoning.
Examples include:
- Checking wallet activity
- Referencing token balances
- Identifying transaction patterns
- Providing context around NFT holdings
This enables more precise and contextual responses.
2. Multi-Chain Intelligence
Because Covalent supports 100+ networks, AVA is not restricted to a single ecosystem.
Projects operating across Ethereum, Layer 2 networks, or alternative L1s can deploy one AI agent capable of understanding multi-chain activity through a unified data interface.
3. Structured Data Instead of Scraped Explorers
Relying on blockchain explorers introduces inconsistencies and fragmentation. Through Covalent’s API integration, AVA accesses structured datasets directly.
This results in:
- More reliable answers
- Reduced ambiguity
- Better reasoning over blockchain activity
4. Faster Developer Workflows
Without Covalent, teams would need to build and maintain custom indexing pipelines to enable AI agents to read on-chain data.
With OnFinality integrating Covalent:
- No custom indexer required
- No data normalization overhead
- No separate data infrastructure stack
Developers can focus on product innovation rather than backend data engineering.
How Users Can Enable Covalent When Launching AI Agent AVA
Deploying an AI agent with blockchain awareness is designed to be simple and efficient.
Step 1: Launch AVA via OnFinality
Create your AI agent directly from the OnFinality dashboard and connect it to your documentation and community channels.
Step 2: Enable Covalent Data Source
Activate Covalent as a structured on-chain data source. This connects AVA to multi-chain blockchain data through unified APIs.
Step 3: Define Use Case and Agent Engagement
Projects can configure AVA for scenarios such as:
- Wallet query assistant
- Portfolio insight bot
- NFT support agent
- DeFi protocol helper
- On-chain activity explainer
- Community support automation
With Covalent powering structured data access, AVA can retrieve relevant blockchain information and incorporate it into responses inside community platforms.
Define the engagement rules, agent’s use case, and any additional instructions in the Agent Config
Step 4: Deploy to Your Community
Deploy to your discord community so that AI Agent AVA can help your community to grow 24/7.
Why This Matters for AI Agents
AI agents in Web3 must be data-native.
Documentation is static. Blockchain activity is dynamic. Users expect accurate, real-time, on-chain-aware answers.
By combining:
- Reliable RPC infrastructure
- Indexing services
- AI agent deployment
- Structured multi-chain data via Covalent
OnFinality delivers an integrated stack for intelligent Web3 applications.
Instead of stitching together multiple providers, projects can deploy infrastructure, data, and AI within a single unified environment.
