# What Zenova Is Zenova is a persistent, multi-layer AI security system deployed across a protocol's full infrastructure on-chain logic, cross-chain bridges, swap mechanisms, oracle feeds, access control systems, and Web2 endpoints that interact with Web3 components. It operates continuously. It does not wait for a user to initiate a scan. It does not file a report after damage occurs. It maintains a live model of the infrastructure it protects and flags deviations from expected behaviour before they resolve into exploits. ## **Core Capabilities:** **Real-Time Protocol Monitoring** Zenova ingests live transaction data, mempool activity, oracle price feeds, bridge message queues, and governance proposal streams. Anomalies are surfaced within seconds not after block finality. **Cross-Chain Awareness** Bridge exploits including forged message attacks like the Hyperbridge incident succeed because monitoring systems are chain-local. Zenova operates across chains simultaneously, correlating activity on both sides of a bridge before a message resolves. **Swap and Liquidity Protection** Reserve manipulation, flash loan attacks, and price oracle exploits often involve a sequence of transactions that individually appear legitimate. Zenova models the full sequence in context, flagging combinations that match known or novel attack patterns. **Web2 Surface Coverage** Frontend hijacks, DNS spoofing, and API endpoint compromise are not on-chain events. Zenova extends coverage to the Web2 infrastructure that most protocols depend on but most security tools ignore entirely. **Access Control and Insider Threat Detection** Privileged key usage, unusual admin actions, and patterns consistent with insider activity are monitored continuously. Zenova does not assume trust based on key ownership — it models expected behaviour and flags deviations. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://zenova.gitbook.io/zenova-docs/what-zenova-is.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
