A "keeper" is a term used to refer to an external person and/or team that executes a job. This can be as simplistic as sending a transaction, or as complex as requiring extensive off-chain logic.

The scope of Keep3r Network is not to manage the jobs themselves, but to allow contracts to register as jobs for keepers, and keepers to register themselves as available to perform jobs.

It is up to the individual keepers to set up their DevOps and infrastructure and create their own rules based on what job they deem profitable.

Each time keepers perform such a job, they are rewarded in either ETH, tokens, or systems native token KP3R. The maximum amount of KP3R to receive is gasUsed + premium (configurable by governance).

Some jobs might require keepers to have:

– minimum amount of bonded tokens

– minimum amount of fees earned

– minimum time presence in the system

At the simplest level, they require a keeper to be registered in the system.
