Inside EVA: Volume 1

Jan 26, 2026



Last week we hosted our latest EVA Whale Call, walking through where the product stack is today and where our focus lies for the months ahead. Below is a summary of the key updates, decisions, and priorities discussed.


Development Updates


EVA Core

Extiint opened with a deep dive into EVA Core and its role as the foundation of the entire EVA security framework.

Core is not a standalone product. It is the intelligence layer that powers everything we build, learning from historical contracts, analysing behavioural patterns, and surfacing risk that traditional scanners simply don’t detect.

Most importantly, Core allows EVA to move from reactive security to predictive security.

Every current and future EVA product runs on Core. This isn’t optional infrastructure. As Core improves, the entire EVA ecosystem improves alongside it, without needing to rebuild tools or reintroduce new products. This compounding effect is central to how EVA scales defensibly over time.


Instinct

Core will be integrated directly into Instinct, embedding deeper security into the trading experience itself.

Instinct users will benefit from enhanced contract analysis at the point of execution, including similarity detection and behavioural risk signals. Security is no longer something you check separately, it becomes part of the decision-making flow.


Intel

Intel will receive a long-overdue and comprehensive update. We’ve pushed this forward in response to sustained community demand, and the update is expected to go live next week.

Alongside the refresh, we are reviewing a token requirement for Intel access. This is designed to add further utility to $EVA while introducing a sustainable, aligned revenue stream.


API V2

API V2 represents a significant step up from V1 - more powerful, more scalable, and now ready for adoption by larger players.

API growth will be a key focus over the coming months. The goal is not vanity integrations, but meaningful partnerships with real usage and long-term value.


Focus for Q1 / Q2

Q1 and Q2 are about alignment and execution.

Core, Instinct, Intel, and the API are being refined as a single, cohesive system. Each product must stand on its own as industry-leading, but together, they form a security stack that becomes increasingly difficult to replicate.

Depth, integration, and compounding advantage are the priorities.


Business Development & Marketing

We revisited some hard-earned lessons from last year. Chasing trends delivers short-term results at best. Sustainable success comes from fundamentals: products people rely on, real users, and real revenue.

To lead in Web3 security, we need to continue doubling down on best-in-class end-to-end experiences. That means building tools users return to daily, and are willing to pay for. This philosophy defines our approach for the year ahead.


Brand

After a year and four months live, EVA is already a mature product by Web3 standards, even while operating with the speed and mindset of a startup.

The refreshed branding reflects where EVA is today and where we’re heading long-term, confident, focused, and built to last.


Community

Community initiatives will return with renewed focus.

Towards the end of last year, community activity temporarily took a back seat as the team recharged. In quieter market conditions especially, community becomes even more important. Quizzes and other engagement formats will be coming back, and continuing to foster this side of EVA remains integral to our long-term vision.



Additional Updates


Reaction to Core

Feedback on Core has been overwhelmingly positive. We’ve already onboarded our first DEX partner with meaningful volume, and integration is currently underway. 

As always, the focus remains users first, visibility second - prioritising genuine adoption over vanity metrics.


Closing

We’re highly motivated heading into the year ahead and grateful for the continued support from the community.

Thanks again for being an EVArian.
