The operational work that keeps a deployed protocol moving.
A deployed keeper may execute eligible limit and stop orders, liquidate undercollateralized positions, settle batches, submit fresh signed prices, harvest fees and invoke fee routes.
Recentring a user’s ladder requires an explicit operator role. Public maintenance calls should not require custody of user accounts.
Transactions should be simulated before submission and monitored for confirmation. Competing keepers, reorgs, stale prices and reverted transactions need safe handling.
Gas reserves and monitoring affect execution reliability. A keeper cannot guarantee a liquidation price during a gap or network interruption.
No keeper is running for saved local drafts. A preview order never becomes active because time passes or a market reaches its trigger.
