Learn how to monitor and trigger rebalance and liquidation operations
Introduction
In DeFi, a Keeper is an entity or system responsible for automating on-chain actions that cannot execute themselves. Since smart contracts on blockchains are passive, they require an external trigger—this is where Keepers come in.
While f(x) is a fully on-chain system, the Keeper is designed to actively monitor positions and initiate actions once certain conditions are met.
Maintaining an active Keeper community is critical for the f(x) Protocol. Therefore, we’ve written this document to help you understand some key concepts and processes related to Keepers.
