Why use Ceven?

  1. AI native beaconcha.in integration

    • Describe the outcome and Ceven picks the right beaconcha.in calls, fills the parameters, and checks the result.
    • Structured, agent friendly tool schemas so each call runs reliably instead of by guesswork.
    • Rich coverage for reading, writing, and querying your beaconcha.in data, across all 37 of its actions.

  2. Managed auth

    • Built in OAuth with automatic token refresh and rotation.
    • One place to manage, scope, and revoke beaconcha.in access.
    • Per user and per environment credentials instead of shared keys.

  3. Agent optimized design

    • Actions are tuned from real success and error rates so reliability climbs over time.
    • Full execution logs so you always know what ran in beaconcha.in, when, and on whose behalf.
    • The agent pauses and asks when beaconcha.in is unclear instead of plowing ahead.

  4. Enterprise grade security

    • Fine grained access so you control which agents and people can reach beaconcha.in.
    • Least privilege by default, read scopes first and only the writes a workflow needs.
    • A full audit trail of every beaconcha.in action to support review and sign off.

Frequently asked questions

Ceven implements a smart queuing system to respect the beaconcha.in API limits. Because the public API has strict request caps per second, the agent batches requests and uses a back off strategy when it encounters a 429 too many requests error. For enterprise users with a paid beaconcha.in API key, you can input your token in the settings to unlock higher throughput. This ensures that your critical monitoring workflows do not fail during periods of high network volatility when you need the data most. The agent tracks your remaining quota in real time and notifies you if a workflow is likely to be throttled.
Yes. By pulling the current slot and epoch data from beaconcha.in, Ceven can calculate the upcoming proposer schedule for your specific validator indices. You can set up a workflow that prepares your infrastructure or runs a health check five minutes before your validator is scheduled to propose a block. If the agent detects that your node health is poor right before your turn, it can alert you immediately. This proactive approach reduces the chance of missed proposals and the associated loss of potential rewards for your staking operation.
The agent monitors the head of the chain and compares it to the last synced block reported by the API. If a significant gap is detected, Ceven marks the data as stale in your workflow context and can trigger a fallback alert. You can configure the agent to wait for a specific number of confirmations before taking a high stakes action, such as triggering a server reboot. This prevents the agent from making decisions based on a temporary API lag or a reorg, ensuring that your infrastructure management remains stable and based on finalized chain data.
No. Ceven only requires the public keys or validator indices to query beaconcha.in. The integration is entirely read only regarding the blockchain state. We never ask for and cannot store private keys, mnemonic phrases, or any sensitive signing material. All communication with beaconcha.in happens via HTTPS, and the data retrieved is public information available on the beacon chain. Your funds and the control of your validators remain entirely in your own secure environment, while Ceven simply acts as the observability and automation layer on top of the public data.
Absolutely. You can define multiple lists of validator indices within your Ceven workspace. The agent can iterate through these lists, pulling individual metrics from beaconcha.in and aggregating them into a single report. For example, you can create a workflow that compares the performance of a cluster in AWS versus a cluster in Google Cloud. The agent will pull the attestation success rates for both groups and send a daily summary to your email, highlighting which provider is currently offering better stability for your Ethereum staking nodes.
The agent specifically monitors the validator status and penalty endpoints of the beaconcha.in API. When a validator state changes to slashed, the agent identifies the specific event and triggers an emergency workflow. This can include immediately notifying all stakeholders and archiving the logs from the affected node for forensic analysis. Because slashing is a critical event with permanent financial consequences, the agent treats these alerts with the highest priority, bypassing standard queues to ensure the notification reaches you in seconds rather than minutes.
While beaconcha.in stores vast amounts of data, the API provides different levels of access depending on your plan. The free tier allows for reasonable historical queries, but very deep dives into early epochs may be slower or restricted. Ceven handles this by using pagination and cursor based fetching to walk through historical records without crashing the connection. If you encounter a limit on the historical window, the agent will inform you that the requested data is outside the current API tier and suggest the specific beaconcha.in plan required to access those older records.
Ceven cannot directly access your server hardware, but it can trigger a restart through another integration. For example, if beaconcha.in reports that your validator has missed ten consecutive attestations, Ceven can send a command to a tool like SSH or a cloud provider API to reboot the instance. You define the logic, such as requiring a second check on node health before the reboot happens. This creates a self healing loop where the beaconcha.in data acts as the trigger and your infrastructure tools act as the execution arm.
