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. https://twitter.com/Macarse/status/1333244453402923010?s=20
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. https://docs.keep3r.network/jobs 
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.

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.
