Validation Cloud Unveils Mavrik-1 AI on Hedera, Transforming $250B Web3 Finance Industry
Zug, Switzerland, May 20th, 2025, Chainwire
Validation Cloud today announced the launch of Mavrik-1, its next-generation AI engine now live on the Hedera Network. Mavrik powers Validation Cloud’s Data x AI platform, enabling users and developers to interact with DeFi through natural language queries, transforming complex blockchain data into instantly accessible insights and actions.
Bridging the Technical Divide in DeFi
Despite DeFi accounting for 54% of all on-chain activity in 2024, accessing and understanding this data has remained a significant barrier for most users and institutions. Mavrik 1 eliminates this obstacle by allowing anyone to ask questions and receive immediate, actionable responses.
Users can now make queries like “Which trading pairs have the largest spreads?” or “What’s the transaction volume for major stablecoins?” without requiring specialized technical knowledge or coding skills. This democratization of data access represents a fundamental shift in how users interact with blockchain ecosystems.
“This is a pivotal moment for the Hedera ecosystem,” said Viv Diwakar, Chief Information Officer at Hedera Foundation. “Validation Cloud’s Data x AI platform brings an entirely new way to engage with blockchain data. It’s a novel experience that unlocks usability and insight for builders, enterprises, and users in our ecosystem.”
Purpose-Built AI for Web3 Applications
Mavrik stands apart as an AI solution specifically trained for blockchain environments, with deep integration into Hedera’s protocols and DeFi applications. This specialized training enables the platform to understand the nuances of blockchain data structures and provide contextually relevant answers to complex queries.
“We built Mavrik because you shouldn’t need a PhD in Web3 to access and understand what’s happening on-chain,” said Andrew McFarlane, CTO of Validation Cloud. “By surfacing real-time intelligence in natural language, we’re making Web3 accessible to everyone.”
Strategic Integration and Market Impact
The initial launch integrates Mavrik with key protocols on Hedera such as hUSDC, Karate Combat, and leading DeFi applications – with early users gaining access through the exclusive “Mavrik 1” phase. This implementation showcases the practical applications of AI in blockchain environments, particularly for financial data analysis and trading insights.
Hedera represents the first of many network integrations, establishing a new standard for blockchain intelligence and data accessibility across the industry. The full public rollout, dubbed “Mavrik 2,” is scheduled for later this year.
Advancing Web3 Accessibility
The Mavrik platform addresses a critical challenge in blockchain adoption by making technical data accessible to non-technical users. This advancement brings blockchain technology closer to mainstream adoption by removing the knowledge barriers that have historically limited participation.
For institutions, the platform dramatically reduces the time required for data analysis, allowing faster iteration and more responsive application development. This landmark capability is accelerating innovation across the Hedera ecosystem and will soon proliferate the broader Web3 industry.
