Description
Keep3r Network is a decentralized infrastructure protocol operating on the Ethereum mainnet that facilitates a marketplace between smart contracts (jobs) and external operators (keepers) who execute required actions such as transactions or complex off-chain logic. Contracts register as jobs needing execution, and keepers register themselves as available to perform these jobs, setting up their own DevOps and infrastructure to determine which jobs are profitable to service. Keepers are compensated in ETH, tokens, or the network's native KP3R token, with rewards calibrated to gas used plus a governance-configurable premium. To participate, keepers bond KP3R tokens via a bond(address,uint) call and wait through a bonding delay (default three days) before activation, with some jobs requiring minimum bonded amounts, fees earned, or tenure in the system. The protocol primarily serves DeFi projects and smart contract systems that need reliable, incentivized external execution of on-chain tasks, as well as individuals or teams acting as keepers seeking to earn rewards for maintaining decentralized infrastructure.
