Determining your Needs

​
Off-chain Data or Computation?

Sometimes, automation tasks require data that isn’t readily available on the blockchain, or they might need computations that are better performed off-chain. In such cases, Typescript Functions should be the choice.

​
All Checks On-chain?

If all the conditions necessary for your automation task can be directly verified on the blockchain, you have the option to select between Typescript Functions, Solidity Functions & Automated Transactions.

Pre-Requisite of Target Smart Contract

Smart contract functions in the target contract that can be automated should follow these properties:
  • They need to be functions that are usually called by the development team or external keepers, not “user facing” functions called by users directly
  • They need to be either public or external
  • They do not have access restrictions like an onlyOwner modifier, unless the user’s dedicated msg.sender address is whitelisted through the proxy module
  • They do not require msg.sender to be tx.origin
