Why use Ceven?

  1. AI native Starton integration

    • Describe the outcome and Ceven picks the right Starton 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 Starton data, across all 6 of its actions.
  2. Managed auth

    • Built in OAuth with automatic token refresh and rotation.
    • One place to manage, scope, and revoke Starton 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 Starton, when, and on whose behalf.
    • The agent pauses and asks when Starton is unclear instead of plowing ahead.
  4. Enterprise grade security

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

Supported tools

Every action Ceven's agents can run on Starton, and when to use it.

Upload File to IPFS
Use this when you need to host metadata or assets on a decentralized network. Upload the file and store the resulting hash for on chain referencing.
Get Smart Contracts
Pull a list of all smart contracts linked to your project. Use this to find contract addresses before setting up event watchers.
Get Smart Contract Deployments
Retrieve the history of contract deployments. Use this to verify that a contract is live on the intended network.
Get Templates
Browse the library of available smart contract templates. Use this to select a verified pattern before deploying a new contract.
Get Watchers
Pull a list of all active blockchain event watchers. Use this to audit which events are currently triggering workflows.
Get Watcher
Retrieve the configuration for a specific watcher by ID. Use this to check filter settings before making updates.
Get Webhooks
List all configured webhook watchers. Use this to verify the destination URL for event notifications.
Get Smart Contract Event
Pull details for a specific contract event watcher. Use this to confirm the event signature is correct before it goes live.
Delete Smart Contract Event
Remove a specific event watcher by ID. Use this when a contract is deprecated or a workflow is no longer needed.

Frequently asked questions

Ceven connects to Starton via webhooks. When a smart contract event matches your watcher criteria on the blockchain, Starton sends a POST request to a Ceven listener. The agent then parses the transaction data, identifies the relevant parameters, and executes the next step in your workflow. This means you do not need to poll the blockchain manually. You can set up filters within Starton so that only specific addresses or event types trigger the Ceven agent, which reduces noise and ensures that your automation only runs when a meaningful on chain action occurs.
Yes. Ceven can access the Starton template library to find the right contract structure for your needs. Once a template is selected, the agent can trigger the deployment process to the specified blockchain network. After the deployment is confirmed, Ceven can automatically call the deployment retrieval tool to grab the new contract address and then immediately create a watcher for that address. This creates a seamless pipeline where you can launch a new contract and start monitoring its activity without ever leaving the Ceven interface or writing a line of deployment code.
One specific quirk of the Starton IPFS implementation is the file size limit tied to your specific plan tier. If you attempt to upload a file that exceeds your current plan limit, the API will return a 413 Request Entity Too Large error. Ceven handles this by catching the error and notifying you that the file is too large for your current tier. Additionally, because IPFS is a content addressed system, uploading the exact same file twice will result in the same hash, which the agent can use to avoid redundant uploads and save on storage quotas.
Ceven uses encrypted secret storage for all Starton API keys. When you provide your credentials, they are encrypted at rest using AES 256 and are only decrypted in memory at the moment the agent needs to make a request to the Starton API. We never log your raw API keys in our system logs or expose them to the large language model. Access is scoped strictly to the actions defined in the integration, and you can rotate your keys in the Starton dashboard at any time, which will immediately stop all Ceven workflows until the new key is provided.
Yes, as long as the network is supported by Starton. Since Starton provides a unified API layer, Ceven interacts with a standardized set of endpoints regardless of whether the underlying contract is on Ethereum, Polygon, or another supported chain. You simply specify the network during the watcher creation process. The agent can then aggregate events from multiple chains into a single workflow, allowing you to create a cross chain dashboard or a unified notification system that alerts you whenever activity happens on any of your deployed assets.
Starton employs a retry logic for webhook deliveries if the receiving server returns a non 200 status code. If Ceven is temporarily unavailable, Starton will attempt to resend the event notification based on their internal backoff schedule. To ensure no data is lost, we recommend using the Get Watchers tool periodically to audit your configurations. If a critical event is missed, you can use Ceven to query the blockchain directly through Starton to find the missing transaction and manually trigger the missed workflow step to bring your data back into sync.
The number of watchers is governed by your Starton subscription tier. Each tier has a hard cap on the total number of active event watchers and webhooks you can maintain. If you reach this limit, the Create Watcher action in Ceven will fail with a quota exceeded error. To resolve this, you can use the Get Watchers action to identify old or unused monitors and then use the Delete Smart Contract Event tool to clean up your environment and make room for new monitors without needing to upgrade your plan.
Ceven uses the Get Templates tool to pull a list of available blueprints from Starton. These templates provide the standardized ABI and bytecode needed for deployment. When you ask the agent to deploy a specific type of contract, it searches the template library for the best match, retrieves the necessary parameters, and then executes the deployment call. This prevents common errors associated with manual ABI uploads and ensures that the contracts you deploy are based on industry standards, which also makes it easier for the agent to set up accurate event watchers immediately after deployment.
