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.

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.
