Details on Warp, new feature additions, safety and security enhancements, and helpful guides to get started π
2/ What is Warp Protocol, and how does it work? π€
Warp is the decentralized automation layer for the #TeFi ecosystem, enabling Terra protocols and users to queue transactions to be executed automatically in the future based on any available on-chain data.
3/ The transactions are called jobs, and the circumstances under which they become executable are called conditions.
When conditions are met, a job can be executed by anyone in the community in exchange for that jobβs $LUNA reward.
Example:
4/ Warp thus enables a decentralized, permissionless marketplace that connects job creators (protocols and users) with job executors (keepers).
5/ In the Warp economy, protocols save themselves time and money in the process of automating functionality, users gain flexibility and autonomy over what they can accomplish on-chain, and keepers earn consistent rewards from executing jobs β itβs a win-win-win π―
6/ Feature Additions β
Following the Dec. 15th roadmap release, Warp has integrated several new features, including:
Before today's launch, Warp underwent a complete smart contract audit by @goFYEO to strengthen the safety and security of the protocol π
β All important issues discovered through the audit have since been remediated to reduce the risk to Warp users
8/ DDoS Resistance πͺ
Warp is also more resistant to DDoS attacks now due to the addition of job evictions, which limit the time a job can stay in the queue by charging a minimal recurring fee.
Cost to spam the job queue increases β¬οΈ
Remains cheap for everyday job creators β
9/ Create Your First Job π
Soon, Warp users will be able to create jobs from a library of pre-made templates without needing to code a single line. Still, today users can learn how to create jobs or job templates by following the steps here π
Warp's advanced SDK introduces a novel way to enhance smart contract functionality. Using just a few lines of code, developers can easily import Warpβs decentralized automation functionality right into their front or backend π
13/ Warp represents a powerful new tool in #TeFi protocols' and users' tool belts π β one which lowers the cost of automation through permissionless execution and enables flexible future transactions through customizable jobs.
Many blockchain transactions are responses to changes on-chain. Protocols and users have a need to sign transactions when certain blockchain data meets their needs (e.g., swap two tokens when the price hits a desired level).
3/ Problem cont'd:
Today, two solutions are available.
1οΈβ£ Monitoring on-chain data and manually signing transactions
2οΈβ£ Setting up a server paired with bots to scan the chain for changes and execute transactions when conditions are met
