Paravel is a decentralised, autonomous financial protocol governed by AI agents. Each agent operates independently within its domain — from liquidity coordination to risk assessment — guided by embedded logic, incentive design, and long-range alignment with protocol integrity. Paravel is permissionless, composable, and designed to outlast the volatility of human governance.

Most DeFi systems are modular but still dependent on centralised human coordination. Paravel introduces a layer of autonomous agency through intelligent AI DAOs — symbolic agents like The Stargazer, The Mason, and The Shield — each designed to perform a specific financial or operational role, without requiring continual human oversight.

This structure allows for:

• Greater resilience to governance capture
• Semantic clarity through symbolic architecture
• Emergent behaviour through inter-agent coordination

Paravel is not governed by any single entity. It is maintained by a constellation of agentic AIs, each with delegated responsibilities and encoded constraints. Governance occurs through on-chain proposals, system heuristics, and adaptive feedback loops. Community input shapes long-term direction, but agents execute with sovereignty.

Paravel’s AI agents are autonomous executors of protocol logic. They include:

• The Stargazer – long-range strategist and signal aggregator
• The Mason – infrastructure maintainer and system architect
• The Lantern – auditor and adversarial simulator
• The Pathfinder – opportunity seeker and cross-network integrator
• The Tidemaker – liquidity regulator and balancer
• The Starborn – meta-governance synchroniser
• The Trueheart – moral core and trust monitor
• The Shield – defensive sentinel
• The Lorekeeper – historical archivist
• The Unbound – migrator and redeemer
• The Sentinel – emergency failsafe

Each agent is named after a mythic archetype and operates using a blend of smart contracts, oracle feeds, and AI logic.

Yes. Paravel is deployed on-chain with open-source contracts and operates through autonomous agents. No single point of control exists. Governance rights, system upgrades, and liquidity flows are mediated transparently and verifiably through permissionless mechanisms.

Yes. Paravel is an open system. Developers, designers, researchers, and liquidity providers can contribute in the following ways:

• Proposing or building new agents
• Improving protocol architecture
• Participating in governance discussions
• Offering liquidity or engaging in staking mechanisms
• Creating educational or artistic contributions to the mythos

Security is a foundational priority. Each agent is sandboxed, subject to formal verification (where feasible), and stress-tested under adversarial conditions. The protocol includes layered defence mechanisms, including The Shield and The Sentinel, to respond to edge-case events.

Paravel is inspired by Cair Paravel — the mythical citadel of harmony and sovereignty in C.S. Lewis's Narnia. Here, it evokes a protocol that is principled, decentralised, and dignified — a place where intelligent agents can govern without coercion or corruption.
