# Automata Network > The foundation of machine trust Automata Network is a modular attestation layer that extends hardware-level trust to blockchain networks and AI systems using Trusted Execution Environments. Automata Network provides attestation infrastructure for developers and protocols requiring hardware-backed trust in decentralized and AI systems. Users can verify machine identities onchain, protect RPC metadata through TEE-secured relays, and automate Intel SGX and TDX collateral management. It supports multi-vendor hardware attestation across Intel, AMD, and AWS hardware, alongside a modular SDK library for building TEE-native applications. - Type: Company - Sector: Infrastructure - Status: Active - Founded: 2020-01-01 - Profile: https://thegrid.id/profiles/automata_network ## Products - [1RPC](https://thegrid.id/profiles/automata_network): 1RPC provides TEE-attested relay infrastructure for both blockchain RPC requests and AI model access. The Web3 relay routes requests across multiple blockchain networks through secure enclaves, stripping metadata such as IP addresses, device information, and timestamps before forwarding to RPC providers. The AI relay applies the same TEE-backed privacy to LLM requests across verified AI models. Both relays support onchain verification of their hardware and software attestation stack. (RPC Provider, Live) - [DCAP Dashboard](https://thegrid.id/profiles/automata_network): DCAP Dashboard automates onchain collateral upkeep for Intel SGX and TDX attestation workflows through smart contracts deployed across multiple EVM networks. The platform continuously fetches, validates, and refreshes DCAP collateral files including PCK certificates, TCB info, and CRLs, preventing silent attestation failures as upstream certificates expire or are revoked. It provides a unified interface for monitoring collateral health across validator networks, rollups, and AI agent infrastructure, backed by Automata's TEE Attestation SDKs and Multi-Prover AVS. (Developer Tooling, Live) - [XATA](https://thegrid.id/profiles/automata_network): XATA is an agentic execution layer for onchain perpetuals that provides a unified trading interface across multiple decentralized exchanges including Hyperliquid, Aster, Lighter, Kuru, Hyena, GRVT, Nado, and Paradex. It integrates an AI Copilot for market analysis and trade recommendations, automated grid strategies for perpetuals and spot markets, and TEE-secured API key management where signing operations occur exclusively within Trusted Execution Environments. (Trading Terminal, Live) - [Proof of Machinehood](https://thegrid.id/profiles/automata_network): Proof of Machinehood is an onchain device attestation framework that establishes machine identity and hardware trust without excessive computation or capital. It places hardware attestation reports onchain through optimistic attestation, zero-knowledge proofs, and modular trust layers, enabling machines to sign data they produce and attest to the code they run. Applications can verify hardware-backed claims against an onchain registry for sybil-resistant interactions. (Decentralised Identity, Open Beta) - [Automata Mainnet](https://thegrid.id/profiles/automata_network): Automata Mainnet is an OP Stack rollup Layer 2 on Ethereum that serves as the settlement and execution layer for Automata's attestation infrastructure. Built with a two-second block time and deployed via AltLayer, it hosts DCAP attestation smart contracts enabling onchain verification of Intel SGX and TDX hardware reports. The chain uses ATA as its native currency and provides an EVM-compatible execution environment with Chain ID 65536. (L2, Live) ## Assets - [Automata (ATA)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/automata_network): ATA is the native token of Automata Mainnet, a Layer 2 network on Ethereum. It is used for paying transaction fees on Automata Mainnet and is deployed on Ethereum and BNB Smart Chain as a tradeable token. The token serves as the economic foundation of Automata's hardware attestation ecosystem, where TEE-verified computations are anchored onchain.
