Automate Tasks on BuildBear Sandboxes with Gelato Web3 Functions
Learn how to automate tasks on BuildBear Sandboxes using Gelato Web3 Functions, enhancing your DApp development experience.
We are thrilled to announce the support of Gelato Web3 Functions on BuildBear Sandbox. With this integration, you can now automate tasks seamlessly.
Introducing Gelato
Gelato revolutionizes how Web3 developers execute smart contract transactions on EVM-compatible Blockchains. It provides decentralized cloud functions to automate transactions, eliminating manual tasks and enabling developers to focus on innovation.
What are Gelato Web3 Functions?
Web3 Functions from Gelato let developers effortlessly automate smart contract tasks. Key features include Typescript Functions, Solidity Functions, and Automated Transactions. Learn more here.
Understanding Automated Transactions
An Automated Transaction reliably triggers a function on the target smart contract with predefined inputs, ensuring consistency.
Scenarios for Automated Transactions
- Periodic Payments: Regular payments like subscriptions or salaries.
- Maintenance Operations: Routine operations like refreshing oracles.
- Trigger-Based Actions: Executed upon specific events.
- Automated Token Transfers: Scheduled or logic-based token transfers.
Types of Triggers for Automated Tasks
Gelato offers several trigger types:
- Time Interval: Regular intervals (e.g., every 10 minutes).
- Cron Expressions: Specific moments (e.g., every Tuesday at 3 PM).
- On-Chain Event: Respond dynamically to blockchain events.
- Every Block: Execute functions every new block.
Why Use Triggers for Automated Tasks?
Gelato Web3 Functions help automate critical DApp testing scenarios, including:
Automated Risk Management
Continuous monitoring of collateral asset prices and triggering risk assessment based on on-chain events like price anomalies.
Decentralized Governance Automation
Automate voting, proposal execution, and governance tasks within DAOs, ensuring efficiency in decision-making and execution.
Oracle Data
Automate periodic updates of price feeds and other external data via scheduled tasks.
