Use Cases Overview
Introduction
Section titled “Introduction”Sela Network is a decentralized web-interaction layer that enables AI agents to see, understand, and act on the web, overcoming the limitations of traditional scraping and centralized automation.
A global network of nodes executes browser sessions, structures data, and performs actions while ensuring data integrity and trust through technologies such as LLM-based parsing, DOM-to-JSON transformation, and zk-TLS verification. Sela provides verifiable web actions, making it possible to automate advanced interactions such as login, booking, and payments.
The system is designed around a Web3-based incentive flywheel connecting decentralized nodes, AI-agent demand, and a data marketplace. The long-term objective is to become the foundational operating layer that enables agents to reliably use the internet—the HTTP/TCP/IP layer of the AI-agent era.
The Infrastructure Gap
Section titled “The Infrastructure Gap”While artificial intelligence has advanced rapidly in language understanding, reasoning, and content generation, a fundamental limitation persists: AI agents cannot reliably interact with web applications designed for human use. Most internet services lack programmatic APIs, rendering them inaccessible to autonomous systems.
Traditional approaches to web automation suffer from critical deficiencies:
Brittle scraping tools break when websites update their interfaces, requiring constant manual maintenance and intervention.
Centralized browser automation services create single points of failure, impose scaling bottlenecks, and remain vulnerable to detection by anti-bot systems.
API-only solutions provide access to a narrow subset of web services, excluding the vast majority of websites that lack structured interfaces.
Sela Network addresses these fundamental limitations through decentralized infrastructure, cryptographic verification, and adaptive intelligence.
Core Capabilities
Section titled “Core Capabilities”Verifiable Web Actions

Transactional operations: End-to-end purchase workflows, form submissions, booking confirmations, and payment processing through web interfaces.
Data extraction with provenance: Structured information retrieval from arbitrary web sources with cryptographic attestation of origin and timestamp.
Cross-domain orchestration: Coordinated actions across multiple web properties, maintaining state and context throughout multi-stage workflows.
Each action generates an immutable audit trail with cryptographic proof, enabling regulatory compliance and legal admissibility.
Anti-Detection Architecture
Section titled “Anti-Detection Architecture”Modern web platforms employ sophisticated bot detection mechanisms including behavioral analysis, browser fingerprinting, and traffic pattern recognition. Sela Network’s distributed node infrastructure operates through actual user browsers across residential internet connections, generating traffic patterns indistinguishable from legitimate human access.
Geographic distribution provides access to region-restricted content while enabling optimal routing based on target location. IP diversity across thousands of nodes prevents the request pattern correlation that typically flags automated systems.
Self-Healing Automation
Section titled “Self-Healing Automation”Unlike traditional scraping systems that rely on fragile CSS selectors and fixed HTML structures, Sela Network employs vision-language models to understand web interfaces semantically. When target websites modify their layouts or element identifiers, the system identifies functionally equivalent elements through visual recognition and contextual analysis.
This adaptive approach eliminates the maintenance burden that renders conventional web automation economically unviable at scale.
Standardized Data Schemas
Section titled “Standardized Data Schemas”Inconsistent data structures complicate AI agent development and create integration overhead. Sela Network enforces standardized output schemas conforming to Schema.org specifications, ensuring that identical semantic content produces identical JSON structures regardless of source website variations.
This normalization enables predictable data handling, reduces error management complexity, and provides long-term API stability as agents integrate diverse data sources.
Application Domains
Section titled “Application Domains”Autonomous Financial Systems
Section titled “Autonomous Financial Systems”AI agents executing trading strategies, portfolio management, and market analysis require real-time access to diverse data sources.

Lack of provenance proof: Traditional oracles cannot cryptographically prove that reported data matches source content.
Sela Network provides infrastructure for verifiable data oracles:
Decentralized data sourcing: Independent node operators execute data retrieval, eliminating single points of control.
JavaScript-rendered content access: Browser-based execution handles modern single-page applications that static HTTP requests cannot process.
Cryptographic verification: zk-TLS proof generation enables on-chain verification of data provenance without trusted intermediaries.
Economic security: Stake-based slashing mechanisms penalize dishonest nodes, aligning incentives with accurate data reporting.
Cross-Border E-Commerce Arbitrage
Section titled “Cross-Border E-Commerce Arbitrage”Price disparities across regional e-commerce platforms create arbitrage opportunities, but execution requires infrastructure capable of:
Geographic access: Interact with region-restricted platforms through locally distributed nodes.
Authentication management: Handle login sessions, payment method registration, and account verification across jurisdictions.
