The Valory Mission
Valory is bringing autonomy to web3.


Why

For the first time, our unique software stack enables autonomous, decentralized apps that are robust, transparent and run continuously, using complex logic to decide & take their own actions.

By freeing up human attention, thanks to machine autonomy, we can increase human autonomy.

In the context of web3, our stack complements existing on-chain smart contract protocols by providing their off-chain equivalent.

Why? Smart contracts are limited - they can't do things which are: arbitrarily complex, involve talking to the off-chain world, or involve long-running processes.

What

We're building:
- our novel stack for building autonomous, decentralized apps
- the first apps, to demonstrate the novel, composable apps you can build with our stack
- a protocol to secure it all on-chain
- working with DAOs & teaching Python developers to build with us, securing & autonomizing their off-chain ops
