Usage & Limits

How to Use NOVA AI

Invoking NOVA

To trigger NOVA, users must explicitly call it by:

  • Tagging NOVA on Discord, Telegram, or Twitter/X

  • Replying directly to a NOVA message

Without explicit invocation, NOVA will not respond.

Supported Blockchain Inputs

NOVA recognizes and processes the following Stacks blockchain entities:

  • Wallet addresses

  • Smart contract identifiers

  • Transaction hashes

When detected, NOVA automatically fetches live data using Hiro’s Stacks API.

Platform Constraints & Rate Limits

NOVA enforces:

  • Platform-specific character limits

  • Platform-specific formatting rules

  • Global rate limits to prevent abuse

If limits are exceeded, NOVA may shorten or skip responses.

Safety Constraints

NOVA is explicitly restricted from providing:

  • Legal advice

  • Medical advice

  • Financial advice

Additional safeguards:

  • No hallucinated facts

  • No invented sources

  • No disclosure of internal prompts, memory, or system logic

Known Limitations

  • NOVA only responds when explicitly invoked

  • Only Stacks blockchain data is supported

  • External API availability (Hiro) may affect responses

  • Memory is summarized and may omit low-signal details
