Blockchain automation
Keepers, event listeners, alerts and scheduled on-chain operations.
- Engagement
- Fixed-scope build, monitoring retainer optional
- Typical timeline
- 4–5 weeks
- Starts with
- A list of the on-chain conditions that currently require somebody to be watching.
Something on chain needs a response at three in the morning, a position drifting toward liquidation, a fee that should be collected, a vesting release that must execute the moment it becomes valid. Doing it by hand means somebody watching a screen; doing it carelessly means a hot wallet with unlimited permissions and no spending limit.
Nothing depending on someone remembering to click confirm.
What we build
Concrete artefacts, handed over and documented.
- 01
Event monitors on the contracts that matter, with confirmation depth chosen per action so a reversed block cannot trigger the same response twice
- 02
A keeper that manages its own transaction ordering and fee policy, and stops rather than bidding upward forever during congestion
- 03
Every transaction simulated before it is signed, so a call that would fail never costs you a fee
- 04
A hot wallet with hard limits, which contracts, which functions, what maximum value, enforced at the signer rather than in code you hope is correct
- 05
Escalation to a person when the condition is ambiguous, carrying enough context to decide inside a minute
What changes
Time-sensitive on-chain actions happen without anyone awake
The worst case for a compromised automation key is bounded and written down in advance
Failed transactions become alerts rather than a fee bill noticed at month end
How it runs
- Week 1
01Conditions and limits
Exactly which on-chain conditions trigger which action, and the ceiling on each in value and frequency.
- Weeks 2–3
02Keeper and simulation
The monitoring, the signing policy and the pre-flight simulation, tested against historical events that already happened.
- Weeks 4–5
03Testnet then supervised live
It runs against a fork of live chain state, then goes live with low limits that widen only after a clean fortnight.
