# Eval Engine

### Overview

<figure><img src="/files/M1MJTBUmIXbwJeQd1dzc" alt="" width="188"><figcaption><p>Eval Engine</p></figcaption></figure>

Eval Engine is a decentralized framework for evaluating AI agents with a focus on crypto-native agents.&#x20;

> Built on Chromia blockchain - a gas-free relational blockchain that enables seamless user experience without transaction fees.&#x20;

The system consists of three key components:

1. **Chromia Blockchain**: Acts as a transparent, immutable, gas-free database
2. **Engine**: The evaluation service
3. **Client**: The end user requesting evaluations

### Think of it as a Distinguished Food Critic

Eval Engine is like a World-Renowned Food Critic. While their evaluation criteria remain private, their final ratings and reviews are public and immutable. Eval Engine works similarly - it processes evaluations through multiple specialized models but records all results transparently on Chromia blockchain. Like a prestigious restaurant rating that can't be bought or manipulated, Eval Engine ensures evaluation integrity through blockchain technology.

## 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.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://eval-engine.gitbook.io/eval-engine/eval-engine.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
