Introducing WAVS: The Next-Gen AVS Builder

WAVS is the next-generation runtime for building and operating AVSs with speed, simplicity, and verifiability. This article introduces WAVS as a foundational tool for building off-chain services, powered by WASM and WASI, and explains how it redefines the AVS development experience—removing infrastructure overhead, enabling modular service composition, and supporting multichain deployment. With support for verifiable execution, operator coordination, and restaking security, WAVS sets a new standard for decentralized service architecture.

The Future of AVS Infra: Inside the WAVS Architecture

WAVS is a decentralized compute runtime built on WASM technology that makes AVS (Actively Validated Services) deployment simpler and more efficient. This article explains why WASM was chosen over Linux VMs for off-chain execution, highlighting WASM's advantages in performance, security, startup time, and size. WAVS enables truly decentralized compute by optimizing for multi-validator environments, supporting cross-chain functionality, and creating economically sustainable models for operators.
