So wtf is Keep3r Network?

Thread on #KP3R and its role in governing the @kp3r_network devops coordination protocol 🔒

Keep3r Network provides a way for protocols to post 'jobs' - or smart contract call requests - to 'keepers' - or those willing to perform those tasks.

Think liquidations, fee collections, oracle calls or collateral unlocks.

If you need a job done constantly, Keep3r provides a way to post it on a public job board, and allow keepers to pay the gas to perform it in exchange for a reward.

Jobs can be paid in #KP3R, $ETH, or tokens like $AAVE

The harder the job, the more sophisticated the keeper needs to be.

Jobs can require bonds, meaning a keeper needs to stake #KP3R to execute the task and collect their loot.

769 keepers have bonded 3115 KP3R (~$1M) to complete 4000 jobs.

So who's using this?

Here's a case study from @Macarse on how keepers are unlocking @HegicOptions collateral for withdraws upon expiry 🌔

TLDR: Post #KP3R credits that are consumed by keepers as different options are unlocked.

Teams can make direct payments, spending ETH or tokens.

Alternatively, they can provide liquidity and get #KP3R credit.

This opex vs capex tradeoff allows those testing in prod to pay less for jobs by removing unused credits at any time.

We can extrapolate this to any time a smart contract needs to be called to harvest tokens or verify an onchain interaction.

While anyone can create a job, only those whitelisted through #KP3R governance can be posted.

And why would people govern this whitelist?

Keep3r takes a 0.03% fee when a job is paid in ETH or tokens other than #KP3R.

The treasury currently holds ~$13.8M, $5.5M of which is currently earning yield on @AlphaFinanceLab 🚀

Now, the goal is to get more keepers to bond #KP3R.

The more bonded #KP3R, the more trusted keepers can be to act honestly and perform complex work.

Bonds are subject to a 14 day cooldown, meaning job owners can be confident keepers will not enter and exit maliciously.
Key Takeaways:

- Keep3r generalizes expediting onchain tasks using a trusted bounty system.
- Keepers are earning handsome fees, and more jobs are being posted every day
- While highly technical, the protocol serves a crucial backend role as #DeFi expands.
