Technology Behind Alverum
A transparent look at how Alverum prepares, reviews and executes on-chain payments — and where AI helps versus where the user always stays in control.
Architecture Overview
Alverum is built as a non-custodial application layer on top of standard EVM and other public blockchain networks. Our infrastructure prepares transactions, analyzes payment options and presents recommendations, while all cryptographic signing happens in the user's own wallet. Alverum never stores private keys or seed phrases and cannot move user funds on their behalf.
Wallet Connection Flow
Users connect a supported wallet (for example browser wallets and mobile wallets via WalletConnect). The connection is a read-only session by default — the app can request the connected address and propose transactions, but every transaction must be explicitly signed by the user inside their wallet.
- No password, email or seed phrase is ever collected by Alverum.
- Users can disconnect the session at any time from their wallet.
- Only the public address and account label are used by the app.
Transaction Preparation
When a user starts a payment, Alverum builds a proposed transaction using standard on-chain primitives. The proposed transaction is displayed in a human-readable summary — including the target address, amount, network and estimated fees — before the user is asked to approve it in their wallet. Users can cancel at any step.
Multi-Chain Interaction
Alverum is designed to interact with multiple blockchain networks over time. Support is expanded gradually and each supported network is integrated using its standard RPC interface. Supported networks and tokens are listed within the app; only networks explicitly listed are supported at any given moment.
AI-Assisted Recommendations
Where useful, the AI assistant suggests networks, tokens, fee levels and transaction structures based on the user's stated intent. These are recommendations, not decisions. Every payment requires an explicit user confirmation, and every signing step happens in the user's wallet.
AI recommendations are provided as guidance only. They do not guarantee that a transaction will succeed, that fees will be optimal, or that a destination is safe. Users are responsible for reviewing and approving every transaction.
User Approval Requirements
Every state-changing operation requires an explicit signature from the user's wallet. Alverum cannot move funds, approve tokens or interact with contracts without a signed transaction from the connected wallet.
Product Limitations
- Alverum is under active development; some features are still being built.
- Not all networks and tokens are supported — see in-app listings.
- Fee estimates depend on live network conditions and can change.
- Alverum does not provide investment or tax advice.
