About
Ditto Network is a decentralized protocol designed to run intent-driven automations and event-driven workflows. By leveraging shared security, Ditto ensures trustless, reliable execution of workflows across EVM-compatible chains. Developers can use Ditto to automate complex processes, such as liquidation protection, cross-chain asset swaps, and yield farming strategies, unlocking new possibilities for decentralized applications and AI-driven agents.
What is your network’s primary function?
Ditto Network provides a secure execution layer for on-chain automations. It allows developers, dApps, and AI agents to create workflows that execute under predefined conditions, ensuring trustless and reliable automation. Our platform serves as an infrastructure for cross-chain automations, enabling use cases such as decentralized trading, liquidation prevention, and autonomous AI agent operations.
What role do operators play in your network - what tasks do they perform and what is the flow?
Operators in the Ditto Network are responsible for executing workflows submitted by users, such as automating transactions or managing cross-chain operations. Their tasks include:
- Workflow Validation: Operators validate incoming workflows and verify their conditions using cryptographic proofs.
- Execution: Once conditions are met, operators execute the workflow on-chain.
- Reporting: Operators post execution data and cryptographic proofs on-chain, ensuring transparency and accountability.
- Economic Guarantees: Operators provide economic guarantees through staking, ensuring reliability and penalizing malicious behavior via slashing mechanisms.The flow involves users submitting workflows, operators validating and executing them, and the network ensuring transparency and fairness through zk-proof verifications and on-chain reporting.
What is the need for economic security/the primary purpose of staking in your network?
It provides the economic security necessary for reliable execution and trustless automation. Operators stake assets to back their responsibilities, and misbehavior or failure to execute workflows correctly results in slashing. This ensures that workflows are executed reliably, incentivizes honest participation, and maintains trust in the system. By leveraging restaked assets through Symbiotic, Ditto enhances its security model while enabling scalable and decentralized workflow execution across multiple chains.
