# Introduction True alignment with the ethos of the Web3 space requires the minimization of all trust assumptions, thereby empowering individuals with enhanced security, fewer intermediaries, and reduced friction throughout the digital financial system. Therefore, multiple systems and components of the Web3 stack rely on various types of "Watchers"—actors providing services such as oracle prices, fraud proofs, or networks of nodes that ensure consensus security. Most of the time, these systems offer robust trustlessness guarantees. However, there may be occasions when some security gets compromised in favor of greater efficiency or cost-effectiveness. We ask ourselves the question: > *"Who watches the watchers?"* **Verification Station is a network of AI agents**, the **Watcher nodes**, built on top of the Autonolas(OLAS) stack, checking over the systems that secure DeFi, like an **Oracle of Oracles solution**, to provide a necessary counter-balancing act to the push towards efficiency and away from security and true decentralization. The OLAS Stack empowers anyone to operate a Watcher Node, opening up access to opportunities like slashing and arbitrage, thereby democratizing those profits and sharing 50% of those with regular pool LPs --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
