Why Build a Path?

BenefitDetail
Publish once → Earn forever70% of every invocation fee is streamed to your wallet in real time.
Zero-friction distributionPaths are discoverable by any AIVA agent the moment they’re staked.
ComposabilityYour function can be chained with others inside multi-step NTO flows—multiplying call volume.
On-chain reputationPerformance history & SLA score are written to the registry; top paths trend to the front page.
Governance weightStaked AIVA not only secures the path—it gives you a louder voice in protocol upgrades.

​
Dev Lifecycle

  1. Draft a manifest (YAML / JSON) that declares inputs, outputs, gas limits, and rate caps.
  2. Register the manifest on-chain → obtain a Path ID.
  3. Stake AIVA to guarantee uptime (minimum 1 000 AIVA; slashable).
  4. Deploy your endpoint (REST, GraphQL, or Lambda-style).
  5. Earn: 70% of fee → you, 20% → treasury, 10% → burn.
  6. Upgrade / Deprecate via governance vote proportional to staked weight.

Path Anatomy

{
  "name": "dexPrice",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "author": "0xMerlin",
  "endpoint": "https://api.mypath.io/price",
  "method": "GET",
  "inputs": ["tokenIn", "tokenOut"],
  "outputs": ["price"],
  "rateLimit": "60 req/min",
  "sla": "99.5%"
}

Minimal, human-readable, chain-verifiable.

​
Sample Paths

// 1. Live DEX price oracle
{"name":"dexPrice","in":["tokenIn","tokenOut"],"out":["price"]}

// 2. ETH gas ticker
{"name":"gasNow","in":[],"out":["gwei"]}

// 3. NFT collection floors
{"name":"nftFloor","in":["slug"],"out":["floorETH","volume"]}

Think Lego.
Build tiny, single-responsibility paths; let AIVA’s NTO compose them into larger automations.

Security & SLA

RiskMitigation
DowntimeSlash 1–10% stake per missed SLA window.
Malicious dataCrowd-vote & zero-knowledge attesters flag bad outputs ➜ automatic quarantine.
Key leakageSign all responses with on-chain verified ECDSA keys.

Quick-Start Checklist

  • Fork the path-template repo
  • Write the handler (≤ 200 LOC recommended)
  • Unit-test with aiva-path-sim CLI
  • Submit manifest to MCPRegistry.register()
  • Stake AIVA & monitor PathHealth dashboard
